John Looney and Officer Charles
Sexton Mix in Court
Room.
LOONEY'S NOSE BATTERED
Viciously Attacks Mayor McCaskrin
and Mayor Olson Asks That Mc
Caskrin and Sexton Be Fined.
A disgraceful row occurred in Justico
McFarlane's court this afternoon with
John Looney as a center. Looney came
out of it with a badly bleeding nose, and
then posed as a martyr, and asked that
Mayor McCaskrin and (isicer Charles
Sexton be fined for contempt of court.
This matter oes over until after the
trial of the case which brought on the
rouble.
Officer Dr It
The case over which the trouble
arose was that of the people vs. Effie
Vauphn. chanced with robbery, wh!ch
was taken before Justice McFarlane
on a change of venue. It was contin
ued until this afternoon, when it was
dismissed upon motion. Mayor Mc
Caskrin. who is acting as chief of po
l'e, ordered an officer to take charge
if the defendant until another com
plaint could be made out and sworn
to. John Looney, who, with B. F.
Schriver, was appearing for the defend
ant, attempted a bulldozing game with
the apparent purpose of getting the
woman out of court after her dismis
sal. There was bad blood between
lyooney and Officer Sexton, and it was
the more aggravating to Looney be
cause Sexton was the officer in charge.
Mayor McCaskrin requested Looney to
desist and then ordered the officer to
take charge of him. Tins brought the
two together. Sexton was assaulted by
Ixjoney 'and then he went after his as
sailant and struck him several times
on the nose.
Arc S r it n rated.
Other officers were in the court and
succeeded in separating the two men,
and they almost got together a couple
of times after that. Jeremiah looney
appeared on the scene in a few min
utes and tried to calm his brother, and
fimilly the second warrant was herved
on the colored woman.
Waota t ntmi( t'lnc.
Cpon order being restored in the
court room, Looney having had the
blood washed from his face, Justice Mc
Farlane ordered the trial to proceed,
Loney arose and asked that Mayor
McCaskrin and OHict-r Charles Sexton
be fined for contempt of court. It was
here he made his pose as a martyr,
maintaining that he had bf;n held by
two other officers while Policeman Sex
ton struck him. He bitterly attacked
Mayor McCaskrin and the officer, also
indulging in abuse of Mayor Olson of
Moline, who was acting as state's attor
ney in the absence of Mr. Scott and
his assistant, L. M. Magill.
( r iif lifihltrry.
The case in question is one for al
leged robbery. There are colored dives
in the city of Rock Island which the
mayor has been attempting to clean
up, and Magistrate Elliott has been
lacking on penalties that were intend
ed to drive them from the city.
Ist night, upon complaint of John
McLaughlin, driver of an ice wagon,
Mrs. Hoyd McDonald and Effie Vaughn
were arrested and taken to the sta
tion. McLaughlin was directed to
these women, who live in the vicinity of
Twenty second street, he says, to se
cure a washwoman, his wife being ill.
He was talking to them, and in some
way, whether they got into a scufflt or
not is not known, he asserts they rob
bed him of some money. He was also
struck with a bottle which he had in
his iockeL
Two Arrr-mt r-tV
The wagon and officers went to the
lioiie where Mclaughlin said they en
teretl and admittance was refused. The
lock was broken and the officers took
Mrs. McDonald into custody. At the
station she was identified as one of
the women, but McLaughlin could not
tell whether she was the one who took
the money or not. She was given a
hearing after midnight and bound over
to the srrand jury by Magistrate Elliott.
The witness had to return home on
account of the ilhfess of his wife and
the Vaughn case was continued until
this morning when. Loney and Schriv
er were secured as attorneys, and took
the change of venue. Effle Vaughn
was secured after McDonald found that
his wife was implicated, he revealing
where she was.
