A neat little tale of domestic scandal waa related in the police court this morning anii the finale witnessed the paying of a Cne of $5 by William Bynum for slapping the face of George Hamlin of 1S3 Center street, the relator of the tale of conjugal discord.

During the relation of the trouble and the airing of the family linen, the old man interrupted in-terrupted lawyers and the-court with ah entire en-tire disregard for consequences. Be had a grievance and was determined to air it. He bitterly complained that his wiXa and daughter daugh-ter had tired of him and were determined t get rid of him in order to secure possession of the property he acquired in the halcyoD days of his youth. Bynum entered a plea of guilty to. the, charge of assanlt and was fined to. It is a Sallivan-Corbett bet that a divorcer suit will soon be in order. A PERSECUTED VAGRANT. B. Kelly was arraigned for vagrancy. He declared that he was guiltless, Lad. worked no latsr than yesterday and emphatically stated that he did not knowjwbat the police meant by persecuting him. In his opinion, it was funny that he should be arresbed when be labored and had money in his pocket. He also accused McGinty of keeping keep-ing in hot pursuit of him all the time. The case waa continued until 2 o'clock Monday. POOR BUSINESS. Arthur Flint, a redheaded youth with a peachblow complexion, said he was not guilty of the charge of trespass. The arresting arrest-ing officer, Millner, said he was very in- 1.1 Bulling. 'What did he say?" asked the court. "He wouldn't answer my questions," was the reply. "Well," said Attorney Coad, "if ha wouldn't answer yon he couldn't have been very insulting." "He questioned my authority," answered the cop. "Didn't you swear at me," asked tha pris oner. "I don't remember exactly. I said 'Good God, what am I here for?" " "No; you swore at me," persisted th prisoner. "Well, I did't say it to you." "You didn't speak to me in a civil manner, and I did not think I was doing wrong. I am a stranger here, judge, and have money, and I did not think the officer had any righr to talk to me in the way he did." The court evidently thought the same for he ordered the case dismissed, but not before be-fore advising the youth with the Titian locks to hereafter pay a -proper modicum 1 respect to a bluecoaL. L.AP8LET WINS HIS CASE. The attorney for J. A. Xishan, who was arrested several days ago on complaint of Plumbing Inspector Lapsley and entered a plea of guilty, stated that since that plea had been made the work had been examined and found to be defective, and he therefore desired to withdraw that plea and subeUUita that of guilty. The assistant eity attorney, tm behalf of the plumbing inspector, asked the court to be lenient, although the offending pUrmber had repeatedly violated tha plumbic g erdi-nance erdi-nance before. Nishan was fined $10. SHORT Qr&DUBjj. Jake Richardson entered a pica of gaKty to the charge of racklass driving and was assessed $10. The arresting officer helped him out by saying tihat-tie ease waa not so flagrant as originally believed. William Smith, a farmar, who left his team unhitched, paid $2 for his indiscretion. |
