Violent Assault. Yesterday morning RoDr
RKiD appeared before the Mayor to answer the
charge Of violently assaulting and bea.ing
Gko. HARVEY, on the evening Of the 3Oth uit.
Without giving in detail the evidence Of each
witness-for six or seven Of them were exam.
ined-we append the substance, al accurately
as we are enabled TO do.
On Friday afternoon Mr.. Harvey visited
Reids Hotel, on 9th street, between Marshall
and Clay. and meeting several acQuain tapc~s
there, invited them to drink, which they did,
MIR. II. was then invited to "A friends Room in
'he hotel, and ordered bottle Of whiskey to
be sent up When he returned 10 the bar.
room-bFing then under the influence Of II.
quor-he again invited the party to drink, but
after wards refused 10 foot the bill. This TACT
led the bar.keeper 10 make remarks which
were offensive to Harvey, and which H. re.
sented by abuse. MIR. Reid happening to he IN
The ballroom at the time, stepped up 10 Mr..
Harvey and told him he could allow no ona 10
insult and abuse his bar keeper, and that the
bar bill must be paid. With this Harvey drew
u revolver, and leve!ing IL at Reid, the latter
re'reated into an adjoining room. Harvey
supposiDg that Reid had gone after an officer.
immediately left the house, and started ia the
direction of his own h me. He had gone buf
few seconds, when Reid came out Of the no.
tel IN MS shirt sleeves. and eng ured the dirsc.
fi"n taken by Harvey On bel, r told that he
was then crossing a vacant lot on Clay street.
Reid started in pursuit OF him, and one Of the
witnesses then saw in his haud a short club or
piece of iron. When Harvey had gone about
on the head, knVc.esi him down, and kicked
him no or thr.e times. BY some means Har-
sey also got Reid down, and white the two
we're upon the ground, Lieutenant Carter and
watchmen Rove and kowlan came upon the
