A bottle of whiskejr, an all night car-; ou&al, the gleam of "easy money", temptingly displayed in a show win dow, proved the undoing of young John Holland, a white youth barely past his majority, convicted in the Recorder's Court this morning of having smashed the large plate glass window in front of .the Grand Ice Cream Parlor and taking therefrom some one dollar bills placed there for an advertisement. j Holland is rather an intelligent looking fellow and testified that he -had been em ployed at a local buggy factory as painter jatfd made $9 (week. He was not represented by counsel and none of his family were present to render hmt any sympathy. He de nied his guilt and told a rather weak story of. his meveirtents last night, which culminated i nhis arrest this Inoromg a lifene after live, a few minutes after officer George Jennings of the local poliee force had heard , window crash, and upon investiga tion ascertained it to - be at the Grand. Two rolls of mey were found on the young fellow; one con taining about sixteen dollars and ! shown to officer Rous when the ar rest was made, this Holland- claimed and St was turned over to him by the Court; the other ithe officer testified had been dropped n route to the -jail and Holland denied having, had it; there were sx dllars -new ones -which were identified as some of the money displayed in the . Grand win dow. Little or no doubt of the guilt of Holland waa held by any who heard the case. He was sentenced to twelve months in the county, jail or to be worked on the roads, f There was about $10 in paper mon ey in a pyramidical twine cajre in an improvised display window in the front of the Grand Theater's lobby until this morning about 4:30 o'clock. The money was kept rising and fall ing in the daytime by a current of lit from underneath, and was" a part of a cigarette advertising display. i Another unfortunate case before the city tribunal today was that of an , old negro couple . charged with running a "rooming house." A young white girl comely of appearance was on hand and testified that she ' had visited ' the house on several occa sions with a young man said to be employed on one of the shifting engine forces of the local railroads. Decis ion in the case was reserved until Wednesday. UP TO DIRECTORS OF RAILROADS 10 KEEP!
