TOOK WHISKEY AND COCAINE Two Quarts of Firewater Not Enough to Properly Stimulate Negro Not satisfied with the intoxication that comes from absorbing portions of two quarts of whiskey, Henry Franklin, a negro, additionally stimulated his one hundred and eighty pounsd of flesh and bone with cocaine Saturday afternoon and got into trouble.

The first symptoms of his brain-paralyzing jag became apparent when he tried to spill his remains along the Pennsylvania railroad tracks in the local railroad yards. He was attempting to mount a freight train when he fell into the hands of detective Yost, employed by the railroad company, and resisted arrest while caught in the act of trespassing. He assured the detective that he would ''cut him open if he interfered" and reached for his razor pocket. Then the -detective grappled the burly negro and in the scuffle the negro got safely away for a time. He mixed himself up in a quarrel at Short and Walnut streets with several citizens, who resented his behavior and in a very short while the police took him into custody.

This morning Detective Yost arraigned the defendant before Alderman Hover-ter, of the Ninth ward. Police Sergeant Joseph Thompson and Patrolman Mel. Kepford, were there to testify as to the condition of the prisoner when arrested. Sergeant Thompson said he was addicted to the use of cocaine and was very troublesome from the whiskey ho had imbibed. Alderman Hoverter held the case over for further investigation.
