NEW TORK. Hec. SI. ( Special. )
When Mrs. William A- Burden.
woman of wealth, living- at S East
Seventy-third street, sought, tn the
Vorkvllle Police Court, to withdraw
the charge of grand larceny against
hee butler. Walter Parsons, she ran
as-alnst a anas-. Instead she drew upon
her head a severe arraignment from
M.-iKl'trate House, who took occasion
to comment freely upon the practice
of persona of wealth and high social
.tannine- In causing trouble to the
courts and police.
The butler. Parsons, had been it
reaierf for creating a disturbance at
dinner time. He waa found Intoxl
cated and Mrs. Burden ordered him to
leave the house. He started to leave,
but took with him, or rather tried to
taks with him. two uniforms, the prop
erty of his employer.
Batler Becomes nepeataat.
But In police court the butler was
both sober and repentant and was only
too willing that the charges against
him be dropped and that be return to
the Burden II vary.
Mrs. Burden was In a forgiving mood
nd calmly Informed the court that she
would not press the charge. Her re
pulse, which waa delivered in caustio
vein by his honor, somewhat non
pluksed the social leader. Magtstrats
House not only refused to allow the
case to be dropped, but Insisted that
the city would press the case and
would demand that Mrs. Burden ap
pear as a witness.
"Persons of wealth and high social
standing' said the court, "cause much
trouble for the courts and police. As
soon as anything goes wrong with
them they set the polce department in
notion and csuae an arrest. Then they
pull out and want to withdraw from
the proceedings.
aide's View Appraved.
"Police Commissioner Waldo has
taken the proper view of such proceed
ings and declines to let the policemen
be used for private ends. He has In
structed policemen In such eases to
make complaints themselves, Just as
Is done In this case."
Mrs. Burden's attorney then asked that
the complaint be made petty larceny.
He sal.l that the uniforms had been
worn and were not worth as much as
had been thought when the arrest was
n-.ade. The court granted this request.
Parsons then waived examination and
was held under S0 ball for trial.
