Hold Portland Man
On Series of Charges

Portland, July S-Three charges,

against Patrick ]. Coyne, 20. of 20
Marion street, when he was arraigned
in the Municipal Court this morning.

ficer Ansell Bickford, 20 minutes af-
ter he was alleged to have robbed

363 Forest avenue, of $31, at the
point of gun.
Judge Clarence W. Peabody set
Coyne's bail at $1,000 on each of the
robbery charges, when he waived a
hearing, automatically setting them
over to the September term of the
Superior Court. Coyne pleaded gull
ty to charge of carrying a con-
cealed weapon and was sentenced to
so days in Jail on that charge. He
appealed from this sentence and the
bail it this case was set at $500. The
respondent failed to furnish bail.
Believing that Coyne might have
been the man who entered the drug
store OF John J. Gill at 213 DAN
forth street, on the night of March
10, and nearly killing the proprietor
with one of the three shots fired,
Mr.. Gill viewed Coyne in the court
room this morning. He could not
identify Coyne as the man who fired
at him.
In addition to the charge of rob-
bling Mackenzie. Coyne was charged
with robbing Harry Williams. pro-
prietor of a store at 14S Cumberlana
avenue. who was robbed of $31 on
