A "STRAW" PROSECUTOR WAS USED Tho Trlcl: Discovered by the Appearance of the Real Complainant The Justice Now Has His Inning and Hold! the Trickster for Trial. Justico Cardin found hlnwlf In a predica ment Saturday night and for an hour or two lie was so hot under tho collar that it whs not safe for anyone to stand before his desk and misbehave. Tho cause of dlscomforturo was tlio perpetration of n fraud by n man who had been nriested and got tho case settled by presenting n straw" prosecutor beforo the Justice. The tik-k was such n good one that it affords considerable amuse ment nt tho expense of tho Justice, yet it also furnishes a warning fur other dispensers of justice. It appenrs that one day last week ono of tlio prominent Polish citizens of town was arrested on a chargo of assault and lmttery and put under ball by Justice Cardin for trial, Anight or two after tlio man appeared before Justice Cardin and ollered to pay tho costs and settle tho suit. He was told that no settlement could be mudo without the consent ut the prosecutor. All right, 1 go fetchin him," said tho man, who left tho otlico without fuitber urging tlio matter, About half nn hour later the man returned with n companion who said be was willing to withdraw the suit and lie signed tho Justice's docket to clinch tlio bargain after tlio costs wore paid. Tlio men left the office and tho Justice thought no more of the ease until Saturday night, when a third man entered tlio office and asked, "Mr. Squire, when dat case comin' up in court?" A few Interroga tions and replies followed and then tlio Justice exclaimed rather pettishly, "Why, man, didn't you agreo to settle that case the other night upon payment of the costs and didn't you sign tho docket to thatctlect? Tho impatience of the Justice changed to staggering astonishment when tho calle presented prouf that ho was the real prose cutor In the caso nod thnt ho had not signed anything of the kind. In fact, lio protested ho had not seen tho prosecutorsinco tho nlgli too caso was Instituted. Forn time Justice Cnrdln hung between doubt and despair, but after somo rcllectiou ho saw n way out of tuo dilemma. Anothe warrant was Ksucd and tlio man who had paid tlio costs was taken Into custody on charge of subordinating forgery. When tlio accused appeared lie admitted that lie got friend to impersonate tli,o real prosocntor in ttie case, but ho laughingly ndded, Neve mind, Mr. Squire, mo payin' moro costs now aud settleln." Not tins time, said the Justice and the trickster was put under $300 ball to appear for trial at court on tlio second and moro serious charge. .justice (.arum says that he has so many i-oiisii ami l.itnuanians neluro mm in cases and, ns n rule, these people resemble eacl other so much to or.o who is too busy to mako a closo inspection that it was quite easy fu him to bo deceived, but ill the future ho will bo moro particular as to identification peoplo in such affairs. Apropos with tins caso tlio Justice lias in hands a claim for collection of wages from tho P. & It. C. & I. Co. On a recent pay day a Polish woman applied at tho Maple Hill colliery for the pay of a man employed there biio said the man to whom tho pay was duo was her husband, and that lio could not call himself ou nccount of illness. In-ide l-'uio-man McDonald gao licr the money. Since that time a second woman has claimed tlio pay, which amounts to J30. It now appears that the latter is the wife of tlio man entitled to the money and who was ill on tlio pay day. It is believed that somo shrewd connec tion, or neighbor, of tho family perpetrated the trick, but tlio woman has not been lu catedand Foreman McDonald is out of pocket. Itlckerl'H Cale.
