He was given a hearing on an intoxication charge and made so many false statements that Justice Condell became disgusted with him and imposed a sentence of thirty days. It was learned that White had but re- cently been discharged from the Seyms street institution. Constable Marino took him back for another month’s ay. To Close at 8 O’clock.
