He Refuses to Be Silenced;
Wins His Freedom in Court
Actions on the witness stand of
times help a criminal court defend
ant to squirm out of troubles and
William Boyken, colored, was no
exception to the rule yesterday when
he was tried on a charge of robbing
an old colored man, staggering
drunk, several weeks ago at Fourth
and Strawberry streets.
The Commonwealth's witnesses
seemed to link up a chain of circum
stantial evidence against the defend
nnt, indicating that he knocked the
drunk down and took $4 from his
pocket. When Boyken took the stand
he was so enthusiastic he refused to
remain seated .He insited upon tell
ing his story. He was 'found not
guilty.

years, with golden curls, who last

Tells Judge He Should
Be Freed Even if He
Did Carry a Gun
Haword Picket, a Southern negro,
pleaded and argued with Judge Mc-
Carrell this morning, telling the Court
why he should be let go, even though
he had been convicted of carrying a
loaded revolver and threatening to
shoot a woman, but Haword either
didn't talk long enough or he talked
I too long. When he finished Judge Mc
| Carrell said six months and the Sheriff
chimed in with "right-about, face,
! etc."
The Court took a different view of
the case against Joseph Smith, a local
colored man, who pleaded guiltv to
I pistol toting. Smith Is a man of good
] reputation and character, officials of
j the Bethlehem Steel Company told
| Judge McCarrell. He was carrying a
revolver on the night he was arrest
| ed because he was expected to make
a trip alone on a road beybnd Pfix
| tang. A passenger on a trolley car
| spied the pistol and tipped oft the
! police. A fine of |SO and the costs
| were imposed, and if both are paid
before January, the Court will then
consider a motion to discharge him.
i William Hughes got three months on
I a larceny charge.
