PEOPLE, Respondent, v. LE COMPTE, Appellant.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
    October 30, 1914.)
    Proceeding by the People of the state of New York against Edward Le Compte.
   PER CURIAM.

The only credible evidence in this ease is to the effect that defendant's wife met him on a public street, and committed an assault upon him, and that he was trying to escape from her at the time be was arrested. This is insufficient to sustain a conviction for disorderly conduct. The judgment of conviction of the city magistrate, and the order of the County Court of Queens County affirming the same, are reversed, and a new trial ordered. Settle order before Mr. Justice Burr. Upon the settlement of the order, the tribunal for the new trial will be considered.
