Arrested Yesterday Afternoon

Attempting to Sell Ring.
A man giving his name as John Doe,
was arrested late yesterday aiternoon
on First street by Policeman Griff
King, o'n a charge of peddling without
a license, and taken before Police
Judge Van Tassel.
Doe pleaded not guilty to the
charge and was given a bearing. It
appears that Doe was up against it
and had tried to dispose of a ring, in
order to raise money to get out of
town. Judge Van Tassel held that
there was no extenuating evidence
of wilful peddling and the case was
dismissed.
