CHARLES KLICK SENT UP
Gets Three Months for Assaulting P. August Gervens
Charles KLICK, a young German who has been employed about the city for some
time past as a laborer, was this morning sentenced to three months in the
penitentiary for assault in the third degree on P. August GERVENS, a North
Clinton street jeweler.
The trouble all arose over a pocketbook. KLICK on the 24th of August last,
after drinking about town with a fellow workman, whose name he says he does
not know, went to GERVENS' jewelry store with his companion. He left his
companion with GERVENS a few moments while he went down stairs. When he came
up he says a drink was suggested and he took his pocketbook out of his pocket
to get some change to send for beer. In the pocketbook was $8 or more, all he
had in the world.
His companion grabbed the pocket book and ran out the door. When he started
after him, he says, GERVENS grabbed and held him, saying it was only a joke.
A struggle ensued, the two men falling over the floor and out of the store
into a back room. KLICK says GERVENS held him down on the floor and beat him.
He therefore believed that, having been prevented from following his
companion that the missing man was in league with GERVENS to rob him of his
money.
GERVEN'S testimony was to the effect that KLICK had come to his place and had
sat down for a half hour to sleep off the effect of his drinking. When he
awoke he found his pocketbook missing and demanded its immediate return from
GERVENS. Not receiving it he assaulted the jeweler, throwing him down,
grasping him by the throat and pounding his head against the floor. He
finally kicked him and left.
Judge ERNST evidently believed GERVENS' story and sentenced his assailant.

WOULDN'T BUY A MOP
Mrs. Newdale Testifies in the Martin Will Contest
The contest over James MARTIN's will, bequeathing a $50,000 estate to his
brother, John, was continued before Surrogate BENTON this morning.
Mrs. NEWDALE, who worked at intervals for James MARTIN, testified as to the
condition of the miser's house, on Matthew street. She described it as very
filthy. She cleaned part of it one day, and would have made a thorough job,
but MARTIN refused to buy her a mop.
Albert WILCOX, who had also worked for MARTIN, gave evidence as to the old
man's condition. Another adjournment was taken.

FITZGERALD ARRAIGNED
Like His Pals He Denies That He Is An Extortionist
John M. FITZGERALD was arraigned in County Court this morning on the charge
of extorting $200 from Rev. Fidelis C. OBERHOLZER. His pals, "Kid" HALL,
"Wink" WILLIAMS and "Al" McINTYRE, were arraigned yesterday. Like them
FITZGERALD pleaded not guilty.
FITZGERALD was brought into the court room handcuffed to Frank FANNING, who
is accused of burglary. He is less corpulent than when first arrested, his
skin is clearer, and his flesh not so flabby. He is on the whole much
healthier looking. His trial was set down for November 5th. He will be
defended by Salisbury & Ward. The cases of HALL, McINTYRE and WILLIAMS are
set down for the preceding third. WILLIAMS, who is defended by George RAINES,
will probably demand a separate trial, so HALL and McINTYRE will undoubtedly
come first in order, then FITZGERALD or WILLIAMS.
The following prisoners were also arraigned:
Charles KINGSLEY, colored, grand larceny, second degree; stealing bicycle
from George LAMBRICK July 25, 1897; plea, not guilty; case set down for
Friday of next week.
William WILLIS, robbery, second degree; stealing $1.70 from Michael LAVIN on
July 9, 1897; plea, not guilty; trial, Friday.
Hugh McMANNUS, burglary, third degree; breaking into Hugh CONWAY'S barn May
9, 1897, and stealing 7,000 cigarettes; plea deferred until to-morrow at the
request of his attorney, George M. WILLIAMS.
