Is More Severe Than in

prior to his arre.-t by th'ficer Griff
King of the local police force.
Storer approached a number of
persons during the forenoon offering
what he claimed were good rings for
the small sum of two dollars. The
wares were carried in his vest pocket
and he had covered a considerable
portion of the business section of the
city before approaching Griff King
to whom he attempted to dispose of
one of t lie rings. King immediately
placed the man under arrest and he
was later arraigned before City Re
corder Van Tassel where he entered
a pb-a of guilty and was given a fine
of ?2;.0O and cost, with the alterna
tive of spending ten days in the city
jail. He was unable to pay the fine
and is this morning doing time on the
city streets.
When he was arraigned, Storer stat
ed that this was not the first time
be has been under arrest for the same
offense. In fact he fully expected
to be arrested but according to the
custom in other cities he was given a
fine, with the alternative of leaving
the cty wthn twenty four hours.

arrived this morning from the east
and will spend several days in Albany

nent home in this city, lie is excep
