THE BINGHAMTON PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1910. 3 MIXED TIPPLING WITH HIS BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS Cleveland Man Goes to Jail When He Faced Judge Wales for the Second Time Within 24 Hours Frank McHenry, a Cleveland man, came here early in the week to who some business, did his transtransact over the flowing towl Monday acting night and the City Hall bullpen was as he could get in the direction of far as hotel after the close of the business, Judge conference. Wales suspended sentence on him yesterday morning, when he explained that he was a lawabiding business man and had merely forgotten the limit of his capacity while engaged in drumming up busiby an approved method. Last ness night he had some more important business matters to confer upon, and again resorted to the stimulation of booze. And again McHenry experienced the same forgetfulness in regard to his and his prompt reappearance in Police Court this morning was obviously an aggravation to Judge Wales' impatience.

When Officer DeWitt explained that he had arrested McHenry while the latter was singing boisterously on Chenango street and waving a coat belonging to L. C. Pitcher, the Court decided upon a sentence of 20 days in the Broome County jail. There were a wallet, some keys and a bankbook in Pitcher's coat pocket, but the owner did not wish to prefer codercen a been charge, appropriating as the McHenry's coat pur- had to secure a banner of defiance to wave at the cops, and a weapon with which to whip passersby. McHenry said didn't exactly take to such occupations as and lawn-mowing, but he philosophically agreed with the Judge that the 20-day term was one way to insure a complete sobering up.

WOMAN CONNECTED WITH MURDER CHARGED WITH THE BADGER GAME Young Lawyer Says He Was Held Prisoner and Forced to Pay $57 in Cash and a $500 Note to Secure Release New York, Sept. Burns Wildrick, who as Florence Burns was placed under arrest but never brought to trial for the death of Walter S. Brooks, in Glen Island Hotel in 1902, was arrested yesterday along with Edward H. Brooks, charged with what Magistrate Steinert characterized as "one of the boldest badger games ever attempted in this city." Charles W. Hurlburt, a lawyer, told the magistrate in the Jefferson Market police court yesterday that the woman had lured him on Sunday into a house One West Twenty-fifth street.

There, said, as he was sitting in a room with the woman, Mrs. Florence Burns Wildrick, Brooks and another man came in, each with a bottle in his hand, and forced Hurlburt, under threat of assault, to give up $57 in cash, sign a note for sign a declaration' that he guilty, on various occasions, of degrading practices with the woman. This was on Sunday night, according to Hurlburt, and he was kept in the room until 6 o'clock the morning, after which was taken in a taxicab all around the city and as far as Yonkers, then brought back to the city about 10 o'clock and liberated. The manner of the arrest of Brooks was peculiar. He had been before Magistrate Steinert early in the afternooN when Paul Adamson, a taxicab chauffeur.

charged Brooks with being one of three men 'who had employed him early Monday morning for a ride up to Yonkers, and then got away without paying his bill. Brooks, who gave his occupation as real estate agent, admitted being one of the party in the taxicab. He offered to pay his share of Adamson's bill and was discharged by the magistrate. Just after he left courtroom Florence Burns Wildrick came in and inquired whether Brooks was still there. She had heard of his arrest and had come to help him out.

In the meantime Brooks had started to walk west in Twelfth street. It so happened that was in the same neighborhood, and when he met Patrolman Hewitt of Charles street station, Hurlburt handed the policeman a loaded revolver, with the explanation that he had been carrying it for protection from the man coming up behind, who had threatened his life. Hewitt arrested both men and took them to the Jefferson Market Court. When searched, after Hurlburt had made a charge of extortion, Brooks was found to have in his pocket a note for $500 payable to himself and other man accused, and a confession, signed by Hurlburt, admitting that he had ben guilty of a degrading crime in company with Florence Burns Wildrick. Hurlburt explained in his affidavit that had the woman for about a year, and had several times kept appointments with She telephoned to him about noon on Sunday, o'clock and asked him to meet her at that evening.

It was after the meeting that they went to the house in West Twenty-fifth street, where they were interrupted by Brooks and his companion. The latter is now being sought by the police. Brooks had stated at the time, Hurlburt said, that Florence Burns Wildrick was his wife. Magistrate Steinert held Brooks in $3,000 bail for examination. MRS.
