That the continuous rain of Monday
night was the best preventive possible
of the numerous petty crimes and of
fenses that have kept the police working
overtime lately was evidenced Tuesday
morning In the recorder’s court, when
only fourteen cases were docketed for
trial. On Monday the police court had
been busy nearly the whole of a long
oppressive day, when 17S cases were
disposed of by Judge Broyles.
The majority of the cases Monday
were entered against the Idler ant’
loiterer, who probably judged the pre
vlous rainy night to be an excellent one
to prowl In the back yards of sleeping
folk. Circumstances Indicate that to
be the reason L. Trammell was looting
on a dark corner In a respectabla neigh
borhood In the rainstorm of 2:30 o’clock
Monday night. Be as It may, when
Officers Hannah and Hughes came
upon the darkey at that late hour,
knowing that a fine flock of chickens
hm
station house as a precaution.
That Dying Brother.
Trammell had already gained the dls.
Unction as "the man with a wonderful
brother,” when his case was called In
the recorder’s court. He retold the
"narrative of the wonderful brother” to
the recorder, which pictured him as al
ways being on his deathbed, but never
dying, hence his being out at any hour
of the night. On his assertion that
he could produce witnesses to bear out
his statement his case was postponed
until Wednesday morning.
Another of the street corner cases
was against Jesse Barker, who claimed
to be an employee of a lumber com
pany. Barker resented the command
to move on of Officer Swords to such
an extent that he punched that guar
dian of the peace on the chin with the
sharp end of his umbrella, and quickly
received a billy on the head and a
locklng-up to cool his Indignation. He
was fined $10.75 by the recorder and
admonished to keep on the move at
it in the future.
artow Williams was the last to hear
the recorder's “The Way to Work" lec.
ture. Williams was arraigned tor mov.
Ing his wife and child In. from Spread,
Ga., on his aunt, and making her bear
expenses while he enjoyed a good. Idle
time In the city.
Bsck To Dear Old 8pnead
"You must either move back 'to
Spread or stop spreading expense on
your aunt, Williams,’’ said the record
er. “How long will It take you to make
your choice?"
"In tfere* day*, judge,” answered
Williams, "I'll be. In dear old Spread
again or hard at work.”
Williams was not fined because of
his earnest manner In making this
promise. Officers MaOahee was ordsred
to rearrest him, however. If It was not
carried out to the letter, and Williams
was warned that It the rearrest oc
curred ths stockade would separate
him from Spread for thirty days.
