started the officer. "How cOHme?"
 A sheepish grin on the faces of the fishermen greeted the Oflicer. Up to that time it was . huge joke, they thought. They finally admitted, fhnt upon passing the sea food store, they noticed . barrel standing in front. They rip- ped off the cover with their hands and selected the nice cod that was now the subject of the trio's conversation.
 This morning fin city court, charged with theft, the two appeared before Judge Mo. Grath with the same sheepish grin.
 "l ought to make you fel. lows eat the fish," said Judge McGrath as he looked over on the desk of Sergeant John Brickel, where Mir. Cod lay, wrapped in q newspaper.
 This petty thieving has to stop" concluded the judge. "Fivc dollars and costs Is the fine for each :"
 As Quinn stepped up to Pro- bation Ofiicer Emil Hummcl, who is acting clerk of the court, he respectfully said, 'tThis is Q dear fish,"
 "Well," said Mir. Hummcl, "I didn't tell you to take the fish," The fish is worth about 50 cents but the total cost to the men who lifted 1t from the barrel amounted to S13.S4.

Thomas Downey, 47, Of South Main street and Henry Quinn, 24, of Wolcott street decided at 2:45 o'clock this morning to go fishing.t They landed a beautiful specimen of cod, weighing about seven or eight pounds and fully two feet long. Their admiration Of the finny specimen was rude ly interrupted, however, by Patrolman Jack Parker who thought 1t decidedly unorthO- dox to be carrying 8 fish along Brook street at 3 o'clock i'm the morning.
 He was made dubious be. cause there was no sign of fishing tackle, boots or reel, the usual accoutrements that fishermen always carry when fishing. When they passed him at the corner of Brook and East Main street, shortly before, they carried no Ash. And how could they be in pos- session of a fish when he noe ticed them again just a few minutes later.
 An! The officer had 1t! The City Sea Food store at 4 Brook street was right i'm the path the two men were taking after they passed him. Com. ing up to the two fishermen, he noticed that Quinn was at. tempting to stuff the cod down the front of his shirtwaist.
