IN POLICE COURT
Decoration Day was prolific of fights, scraps, stealings and the like, the result being that Recorder Stackhouse this morning had a fine array of offenders before him. As he sent quite a few over to the county jail, the Grand Jury will have its labors considerably augmented in the way of making inquiries as to the merits of these momentous issues.
"I pawned them," said Elizabeth Evans, a colored damsel, to the Recorder when she was asked concerning a charge of purloining a gold watch and a suit of clothes from Henry Clark, of 816 South Second street. That was all there was to it and Elizabeth was committed to jail in default of $200 bail.
Michael Walsh, of 133 Boyer's court, stood charged with assault and battery on his wife, Elizabeth, a pretty little woman with an infant in her arms and a youngster tugging at her skirts. Mrs. Walsh said her husband, without provocation, had knocked her down, unmercifully beating her about the body. Walsh had nothing to say when he was committed to jail in default of $300 bail.
Then there was a mix-up between Andrew McCready, of 944 Federal street, and Harry Ivins, of 210 North Twelfth street. It was not made clear as to what the fuss was all about, but Ivins exhibited a patched up face, asserting that McCready had struck him. The assailant was held in $300 bail.
