“Was einem Matrosen passirte — Der am Centre-Market-Space wohnende Barbier Johann Trautwein wurde gestern Abend under der Anschuldigung verhastet, einem Matrosen, Namens George Palmer, angegrissen und mitzhandelt zu haben. Als Polizist Chaney den Arrestanten nach dem Stationshause bringen wollte, wurde der Letztere widerspenstig und schlug nach dem Wächter der öffentlichea Eicherheit. Palmer erzäh'te im Stationshause, datz er night nur das Vergnügen gehabt habe, sich an einer Prügelsuppe zu laben, sondern auch von einem gewissen Michael Tehan, in dessen Gesellschaft er sich besunden, um $3.20 beraubt worden sei. Tehan ward spater ebensalls verhastet und nach dem Stationshause gebracht, wo er, wie auch Trautwein, heute ein Berhör zu bestehen haben wird.” — “What happened to a sailor - Barber Johann Trautwein, who lives in Center Market Space, was caught last night accused of attacking and negotiating with a sailor named George Palmer. When police officer Chaney wanted to take the detainee to the station house, the latter became unruly and struck at the guardian of public security. Palmer narrated in the station house that he had only had the pleasure of having fun with a spanking soup at night, but also by a certain Michael Tehan, in whose company he had found himself, had been robbed for $3.20. Tehan was later arrested and brought to the station house, where, like Trautwein, he will have a hearing today.” [Deutsche Correspondent, 22 March 1877, page 4.]
