 VAea Banton sent for McManu' this morning to have him taken tt general sessions it was found that b, some error he had already been es- corted to homicide court. While there McManuA, shackled to tWe prison keepers, did something that some observers saw as an act o1 natural generosity and some as play to the gallery.
 The prisoners pen in homicide court adjourns that of the traffic court and McManus noticed 6 frightened youth in the latter pen.
 What are you in for kid?" he asked. and was told the youth had been committed for two days in de fault of payment of s5 fine fol parking. e...... .....
 McManus peeled . $50 bill of g large roll and asked . policeman to pay the fine. He then walked out between the keepers as a small army of camera men discharged fash lights and took innumerable pie lures of him.
 Brother Present
