TALLS OF GOTHAM AND OTHER CITIES

Held Up, Whips Eleven! Proof? Black Eyes!

NEW YORK.—*! can see right now that It wasn’t your fault,” said Magistrate Appleton, when Julius Hinderks faced him In the West side court the other day. “But lam curious to know Just how you got your face so badly disarranged.” ’ - ; Hinderks was somewhat mussed up. Both of his eyes were supported from beneath by large black patches like the map of Great Peconic bay. “It was a hold-up,” he said, f “Where were you held up?” asked the magistrate. “All oyer town. Tm sorry I killed the big fellow; I didn’t mean to do it, fcnd I’ll apologize if that’ll help any.” “Did he kill some one, too?” asked Magistrate Appleton. “I don’t see it In the affidavit” “Naw,” said Policeman Fitzgerald. f “He swung on a guy over in front of Cuneo’B place, but missed him by three feet It took three of us to get him back on his pins.

“I tell you it was a hold up. They took my money, and never gave me a chance.” “How much did they get?” , Hinderks consulted a scrap of paper for a few seconds, and replied: “$48,294.36. I had it in my Inside pocket here.” • - “Where’d you get it? Was it your week’s pay?” “It was my earningß for a whole month. Now its gone. Judge, how would you like to lose $48,294.36 yourself?” "I don’t know; I’m not used to It. What do you do —build railroads?” “I’m a bricklayer,” said Hinderks. “Well, what did you do?” “I knocked II of them down with my fist, then the last one hit me on the head.” “With what?” ■T think it was a steel girder. -It hurt a little, but I’m pretty hard. I killed the .big one, though. I hit him once, and when I hit I always kill.” “Hinderks,” said the magistrate, “how long will it take you to get cold sober?” “I don’t know; I,haven’t had much practice.” ... "Well, I’m going to give you six days over on the island, so you can try it My advice is, don’t carry so much money around with you on Saturday nights.”
