Smith sits in Judgment upon the cases of various malefactors and otuers of lesses im portance who merely fell by. the way side under the stress of an annual holiday bel'ebration, " Among the Important cases engag ing the police during the Christmas celebration was that of Charley James, who chased by Officer Press ley, emptied his revolver at his pur suerand was in turn hit twice, though with slight damage to his anatomy, and also the case of John "Ellison, who while trying to beat up Walter Morrow was suddenly confronted by two brothers of his antagonist, who made it so hot for him that he fled ingloriously from the gory field, with many gaping wounds and knife, cuts ornamenting his countenance, body and arms. : In the first difficulty reported Pa trolman Pressley had been called in to quiet a . disturbance at " the house of Mary Dorrittee on Davidson street, all of the parties being colored. As the patrolman entered James executed a high dive through fhe nearest 'win dow the most of which piece of archi tectural design followed the bulky f onxi to the exterior of the' house. The policeman started in pursuit and fired several shots. The noise of firearms bestirred James to further activity and whipping out a horse-pistol he tried the trick of firing over his shoul der as he ran. Several blocks the chase continued, until the officer had used all available ammunition and borrowed a. second pistol which he be gan to empty in the direction of the fleeing James. . ' The negro was finally run to cover near,"Dilworth and -other officers be ing summoned he was successfully ousted from his hiding place and tak en to police headquarters. He car ried a slight wound in the foot and one in the side. The second serious affair was a case in which strong reinforcements com ing in at the critical moment, turned the tide of victory in a new direction. John Ellison was engaged In adminis tering blows and sledge-hammer licks upon, the person of Walter Mor row and was said to have been suc ceeding to his entire satisfaction when two brothers of Morrow came in and a carving scene followed which, came near costing Ellison his life, it was thought for awhile. The negro was slashed and eut into peculiar designs and markings until his personal ap pearance was well-night obliterated. The brothers finally left him in sore straits and help was summoned. He was taken to the Good Samaritan Hos pital, where no official being present to guarantee the payment of the cost attending to the wounded man, he failed to get aid. Then a physician and officer were sent for but when they arrived Ellison was gene. He was found later at his. home on Graham street and received medical attention. Walter, Hazel and Jesse Morrow were charged with assault with a deadly weapon and their cases will probably be heard tomorrow. ; i MASKED BALL WAS DISTINCT FAILURE .. .
