TROUBLE IN THE GARDEN DIsTRrcT-Re-
coyder Weber Assailed bya Metropoiitam.-On
the twenty-second instant Charles c. Schoaf,
his way to the Recorders Court of the
Fourth District to make an affidavit against
q policeman named T. Z. Miles, of the
sixth precinct, for disturbing the peace.
Miles followed him to the corner of Sixth
and Constance streets, and there assaulted
and beat him. Schoaf having double
cause of complaint, continued to the court
to make his complaint. Miles managed to
get there before him, and to prevent him
from making the charge, locked Schoaf up
in the police station, and made charge OF
assault and battery against him. The case
was examined, and every witness except
Miles testified to the correctness OF the facts
as they are above given. Schoaf was con-
sequently discharged, and he then made
three charges against Miles, the policeman,
one of assault and battery, one for false
Imprisonment and one for perjury.
Mills was examined on the assault and bet
terry of the twenty ninth, and sent before
the Cflulludl SOut' hC idlsC lHpIlSoh
ment charge was examined yesterday and
the evidence for the prosecution was clear.
Corporal Leintz, OF the sixth precinct,
was called to the stand for the defense, and
after stating that he did not see Schoaf ar
rested OF know anything about the case,
insisted upon his statement that Miles had
made a legal arrest, and that he was treated
with injustice. Becoming very demonstra-
tive, the Court several times tried to con-
fine him to such points Of evidence as he
might know. The Court asked him to ex-
plain how the accused was pnjustly treated
and he answered "thats my business, which
/ will keep to myself" The Recorder
stated that if the witness would continue III
that way the court would be compelled to
punish him for words and acts amounting
to.a contempt of court, upon which Corporal
Leintz replied by picking up pile of law
books which were lying upon the Judges
bench, and hurting them in quick succession
at the Recorders head, until he was re-
strained by the court officers, who con-
ducted him to the lookup for twenty-four
hours for his violence.
