The Incidents related in the famous "Casey at the Bat" may be sound baseball philosophy, but they didn't go In the Police Court when 'William Clymer, manager of the Columbus team, was presented yesterday on the charge of disorderly, conduct, for fighting with Umpire Charles P. King at Eclipse Park the day before. He was fined $15 and placed under $300 bond for ninety days by Judge John McCann.

Clymer admitted he was wrong, and added in mitigation that he had lost his head, and Umpire King, who stated that due apology had been made, was anxious to drop proceedings. On this point James P. Edwards, counsel for the defendant, addressed the court and spoke feelingly of the nervous strain on the players at the crucial periods of the game, and Quoted, the following lines from "Casey at the Bat:" 'Kill him; kill the Shouted someone from the stand; And It's likely they'd have killed him.

"Bill Goebel," the black cat which joined the jailer's forces on the night after William Goebel was nominated for Governor, got wind of the Intended change and was sitting calmly on the steps waiting for his friends when the "Black Maria" drove up with the first 'load. This was taken as an omen of good luck, and he was carried inside ahead of the prisoners. The first prisoner registered was Eleanora Franklin, colored, who was surrendered by her bondsmen. The afternoon was spent In moving various departments, which were delayed until after the transfer of prisoners, and- by night the old Jail stood empty. Sr.

Garvin's Becollections. This Davenport Ss TRANSFER EASILY EFFECTED. Sells Regularly For $45. Even this did nqt move the court, and in fixing the punishment Judge McCann took occasion to say "This court has frequently been called upon by the owners of the baseball club to suppress disorders. Here Is a case where a player took offense at a decision of the umpire and attacked that official.

A serious riot might easily have taken place as a result of his conduct. If it had been a Sunday game there is no telling what might have happened. I do not propose to fine our citizens for creating disorders and then allow an outsider to make as much trouble as he wants. Let a fine of $15 and bond of $S00 for ninety days be assessed." Nearly all the Columbus players, with a scattering of the Louisville aggregation and a host of fans, crowded the court room an hour before the case was called. The players, among whom Umpire King sat, discussed the affair in all its phases and many of them seemed to think the matter should be dropped by the local authorities, and the difficulty settled by the officers of the association.

This was the view taken by Attorney James P. Edwards, who defended Clymer, and In examining the only two. witnesses, Police Captain Thomas Riley and Umpire King, he asked them several times if such disturbances were not usually settled by the officers of the association. Judge McCann did not consider this argument, and treated the affair as an ordinary case of disorderly conduct. 4 Not Certain Who Hit First.

Don't miss this remarkable bargain.

About 4 o'clock Dr. Samuel Garvin, the Jail physician, who was the last to get moved, was seated in the empty office in a reminiscent mood. "I have seen this old jail empty twice in my life," he said. "I remember when they moved the prisoners from where the St. Nicholas Hotel now stands to the old jail in the rear of this one.

It was considered a fine Institution then. That was sixty-one years ago. About the time the war ended this front part was built." Three or four times only the lock In the front door of the jail on Jefferson street has been turned. The last time was yesterday at noon. The other times, but once, were when a mob was In 1857 a cannon was trained on the door by a mob seeking four negroes who had murdered and burned a white family south of the city.

The cannon was not fired, "because the door was opened. Twice after that the door was closed and barred' against a mob, and when Caleb Powers and James Howard were brought to the jail about two years ago it was again closed In the face of a crowd. PERIOD OF GOOD WEATHER FOR LOUISVILLE PEOPLE. As the clock In the City Hall was tolling the hour of noon yesterday Eugene Blandford, Chief Deputy Jailer, turned the brass key in the rusty lock of the front door at the old Jefferson-county Jail, on Jefferson street, as the last formal act of abandonment of the building. The prisoners had all been transferred to the new jail on Green street, between Fifth and Center streets, during the preceding three hours.

The transfer v.as completed in order and without special incident The "Black Maria" and the Central Police Station patrol wagon were used In conveying the 180 inmates, and as they arrived Jailer Pflanz and turnkeys were present to take charge of the prisoners end place them in their new quarters. Thirteen men charged with murder 'comprised the first load, and "Babe" Brown, under death sentence, was the first to set foot Inside the corridor. He was accompanied by Jim Thomas, another negro. In the first load, besides these two, were Charles French, Simon Adams, Irwin Roberts, Will Warren. Sherloy Young, Tom Berry, Cornelius Johnson, B.

Howard, Joe Johnson, "William Van Dalsen and Jacob off. They were received at the entrance by Turnkey George W. Levy and assigned to their cells by Henry They now occupy what will be known as "murderers' row," the third tier of cells on the west side of the building, Val Dalsen and Bischoff, the white men, being on the west side of the section and the negroes on the east Bide. County Judge J. P.

Gregory and other members of the Fiscal Court were at the Jail ahead of the prisoners. The keys were turned over to Jailer Pflanz by Judge Gregory by a single "Yes," In response to the inquiry if the building was ready for occupancy. A classified list of prisoners had already been made out, and earls' yesterday morning the prisoner were notified that they were to be moved. Each was provided with a basket, and Into these they packed their small belongings preparatory for the short trip. The way from the old to the new Jail, along Jefferson.

Center and Green streets, was lined with spectators, who yelled as an acquaintance was recognized, and the small boy was In evidence with his pert remarks. When the prisoners were locked up in the building the negroes crowded the windows like monkeys in a cage, and begged cigars and chewing tobacco from people on the outside. Many ar The first witness' called was Police Capt. Thomas Riley, who arrested Clymer. Ca.pt Riley said that as far as he could see Clymer became incensed at the Judgment of the umpire in calling a man out at home, and attacked him.

Capt'. Riley did not know who struck the first blow. He said Clymer rushed to the home plate and stood in a threatening attitude with his fist drawn back as if to strike, and then the two men mixed it up, and tlie players rushed In. Umpire King too the stand, but made an unwilling witness for the prosecution. When asked by Prosecutor Ha-gan If an effort had not been made to settle the case out of court, he replied that he had no desire to prosecute the Columbus manager, but had been ordered to court by the arresting officer.

He testified that he had ordered Clymer to the bench, but the latter rushed to the plate In the sixth inning and drew back his arm as if to strike. "Then I let him have It," said Mr. King, "and the players separated us." After judgment had been pronounced Clymer took his seat Just outside the cage and waited until court adjourned, to pay his fine and execute bond. "I was wrong In going after the umpire, but they should not have arrested me. They could have tken me outside the park.

I will be at Eclipse park this afternoon fighting for my team and to show the spectators that I am not afraid of their abuse. However, it will be the last time I will ever wear a uniform at Eclipse park," said Clymer. He paid his fine and Scott Newman executed the bond for him. It seems that in the report sent to President O'Brien, of the American Assoclaiiat, reference was made to Clymer's alleged abuse of the police on the way to jail. Clymer denied that he was guilty of the latter offense and in this he was corroborated by Capt.

Riley, who furnished him the following letter after the case was concluded: Juno 8. 1505. To Whom It May Concern: This Is to certify that I assisted In taking Mr. Clymer from the baseball field and remained with him until he was placed in the patrol wagon.
