SERVE NINETY DAYS RESULT OF SPREE Charles Snideman Draws Real Package When He Appears Before Judge Mansfield. Charles Snideman, a junker, was fined $50 and costs, totalling $60, and sentenced to serve thirty days in jail yesterday when he pleaded guilty in City Court to a charge of intoxication, the third offense. He will spend ninety days at the Indiana state farm, because of his inability to pay the fine and costs, the Indiana statutes making prohibitory the confinement of a prisoner in the county jail for a period longer than sixty days. Snideman was arrested Wednesday night. Jesse Conners, laborer, was assessed the maximum penalty when he pleaded guilty to firing revolver shots across a public highway. He was fined $3 and costs. Conners was arrested Tuesday afternoon, suspected of having fired upon Officer Lee Borman last Sunday morning at Hoyt avenue and Sixth street, he told the court that he had imbibed freely during Saturday evening and could remember firing several revolver shots. "I don’t know whether I shot at anybody, though," he said. Cyrus Hole, a laborer, was fined $5 and costs, totalling $15, when he pleaded guilty to intoxication, the second offense. He was arrested Wednesday night. Joe Menard, a laborer, pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault and battery upon Lester Speaker, colored, and was released under $500 bond.
