days in jail…

chunk 429 · paragraph 1474

re. This not having accomplished, the de- sired effect, the court again was compelled to impose a third fine of $5. This did not seem quite adequate to the occasion and the court told him that if he still continued to curse and swear that it would have to give him thirty days in jail. Then the court heard no more from Mr. B. while in the court room. After leaving the court room, Mr. B. and your reliable informant were around in the street creating disturbances and I had to threaten to send Mr. B. to jail before he would behave himself. Mr. Bruesch is the town butcher and if he had been in his shop attending to his own busi- ness, this circumstance would not have hap- pened, and Mr. B. might have been a wiser and wealthier man. As to the threats made by one of your at- torneys as to what he intended to do, he should remember that he is not in Georgia. — Henry Woods, Justice of the Peace, Central, N. M.
