It appears by the police records that when he has served out his present sentence, Kit O'Connell will have spent 267 days out of about a year in the county jail. He has paid $60 in fines during the same time and has been arraigned before the municipal court seven times. This is a shining record. The other day O'Connell went into a drug store and asked for cigars. He was shown a box, put three cigars in his pocket and then gave the box a kick, telling the proprietor to "take the change out of that." Kit would make a good hook for the chain gang.
