BRUTAL TEAMSTER FINED
Irondequoit Justice Won't Stand for Horse-Beating
At the close of his hearing before Justice of the Peace BUYCK, of Irondequoit
yesterday afternoon Richard SEHM, a teamster living at No. 1339 North Goodman
street, was fined $30 for cruelty to an animal. He paid rather than go to the
penitentiary.
The man was arrested a week or so ago by Agent William J. BOYINK, of the
Humane Society. It was alleged that on May 23d at the Heffer sand bank in Ridge
road, Irondequoit, he beat one of his horses in an unusually severe manner.
A man who has a farm near by complained to SEHM, and was abused in return.
The farmer notified Agent BOYINK, who went to the place where the team was at
work and found the horse bore some thirty or forty welts upon his body.
Some time ago SEHM was arrested for beating a horse with a club in the northern
part of the city. He was fined $10 in police court. The horse died of its injuries.

FIGHTS INCOMPETENCY FIAT
State Hospital Inmate Would Reopen Sheriff's Jury Case
Charles S. BECKTOLD appeared before Justice SAWYER in Supreme Court yesterday
with a motion in behalf of Christian A. HEMPEL to reopen a sheriff's jury proceeding
in which HEMPEL was found incompetent to manage his property. The proceeding
was begun by HEMPEL'S daughter after he had been in the Rochester State Hospital
several months and was fought hard by him. Physicians and neighbors of HEMPEL
testified for and against him before Charles M. WILLIAMS as commissioner.
Mr. BECKTOLD based his motion on alleged misconduct of a member of the sheriff's
jury during the hearing. He had ten affidavits, including those of physicians,
that the juror showed unfitness for service. The Court adjourned the argument
until Thursday to give Arthur WARREN, attorney for Miss HEMPEL, opportunity
to file answering affidavits. On the day new affidavits will be offered by HEMPEL'S
counsel, to the effect that the juror appeared mentally weak from advanced age.
Members of sheriff's juries, who are taken at random from available citizens
by deputies, receive 25 cents a day for their services. In the HEMPEL case the
attorneys stipulated that they should receive the regular juror's compensation,
$3 a day.

Tho' o'er her dear grave they creep -
She has gone home with the angles --
Mother has fallen asleep.
