In Justice Court

IN JUSTICE COURT.

A Nervy Prisoner Makes Off With a Deputy Sheriff's Overcoat.

John Parker, who was arrested recently on a charge of larceny from a dwelling and bound over to the circuit court, where the case against him was dropped by the prosecuting attorney as the evidence was not quite strong enough to warrant trial, borrowed the overcoat of Turnkey Martin Wackenhut when he made his exit from the jail. Hearing that he had left Ypsilanti with the coat Wackeuhut picked up a warrant, which had been gotten outt charging Parker with the larceny of a pair of shoes from the Alpha Delta house and made after his coat. He caught Parker in Detroit, regained the coat and brought his prisoner before Justice Duffy this morning. Parker plead guilty and was given 65 days in the Detroit House of Correction. John Johnson was sent to jail for 10 days for being drunk on the streets. Complaint was made against George Dixon for drunkeness, but he was too shaky to be brought up before the justice.
