JUDGE ALBURY DISMISSES FOUR MAN CARRIED HIS ‘WEAPON’ IN COURT TRIAL CONSIDERED THEM TRUMPED “QP CHARGES OF VAG- cvRANCY; SAYS CASES BE- ‘ LONG IN CITY COURT Judge William V. Albury, at a special term of the criminal court yesterday afternoon, dismissed four cases on what he considered trumped-up charges of vagrancy. Today, Judge Albury asserted, his court is not a clearing-house for plain “drunks.” The place to handle cases of that nature, he added, is! in the city court, whgre the cost is little, because city policemen are! paid whether or not they make any arrests. “But in the county it is differ- ent,” Judge Albury stated. “The least amount for a trial is $15 and: the average is about $18. Seah) the criminal court is no place to try men charged with drunken-! ness; the city court is the right place for such trials. The fact that the charge is changed to vag- rancy makes no difference when it turns out that the defendant was only drunk. “For instance, two of the cases I dismissed yesterday were against Key Westers who I know are not vagrants. One of them had been released from the city jail, where he had served his term for being drunk, only two hours when he was arrested and lodged in the county jail on a charge of vag-! rancy. Another case concerns a} man who works on a dredge. He | was arrested while drunk andj charged with vagrancy, and still} another was put in jail on that! charged and kept there even after | he had produced papers to show he | had come here to work and was} not-by any means a vagrant. | “In the last case the arrest of | aman was justified. He was found | shortly after he arrived here ona} bus. He told that story to an ar- resting officer, and when the man | was asked to show his credentials, he stated that the bus had not} brought,in his suitcase and that it would come on the next bus. It came ingas the man said it would, | but even after he proved that his | stdéément ‘was true, he was kept edhe unty jail five or six days. end be borne in mind,” ! i] |Observation taken at 8:30 a. m., ON RIGHT FOOT THIS WAS BROUGHT OUT IN HEARING BEFORE PEACE JUSTICE ESQUINALDO YES- TERDAY It developed at a hearing before Justice of the Peace Enrique Es- quinaldo, Jr., at 5 o’clock yester- day afternoon, that a man, charg- ed with armed robbery, carried his “weapon” on his foot. The defendant is John Julius Johnson, negro, who, after his ap- prehension by Police Captain Al- berto Camero, admitted he hadj been arrested 37 times in Miami, where he was known as “Tut.” Johnson, it came out in the tes- timony, wore his right shoe, which was as heavy as a brogan, unlaced. John Ruth, negro, the complainant, testified that, in So- lano’s alley, Johnson, as he ap- proached Ruth and a woman com- panion, Iola Pick, stooped down, pulled off his shoe and pounded Ruth over the head with it, knock- ing him into insensibility. Johnson is said to have stolen $33 out of Ruth’s pocket, while the woman called for help. Johnson pleaded not guilty, but he was identified as the assailant by Ruth, Iola Pick and three other witnesses. He was held for! the Monroe County Criminal Court on a charge of armed robbery and his bail was set at $500.
