assault was committed upon young man about
eighteen years Of age named James Doyle, OF

while passing, one OF them seized and began beat
ing him. lie defended himself as best he knew
how, but when set upon by the remaining
number he was completely overpowered and
sorely beaten. They must have brought deadly
weapons into use; for, besides the fracture OF
the skull there were several cuts and ContuslOns on
the body. Since the night OF the assault the nnfor
tunate youth has lain In q state OF agonzing PAIN
