Commissioner of Public Charities of the City of New York, on Complaint of Clarice Devonish, Respondent, v. Fitzerland Watson, Appellant.
   While we are slow to interfere with the findings of the trial court in this class of cases, the date of the alleged intercourse, as testified to by the complainant, is squarely contradicted by the evidence of the disinterested witness Redman, and we, therefore, think that in the interests of justice we should order a new trial, where the matter may be more fully investigated. The order is reversed and a new trial ordered. Blackmar, P. J., Rich, Kelly, Kelby and Young, JJ., concur.
