THE FLETCHER ASSAULT CAsE.-Thc exam-
nation of Theophilus II. Trombly and Peter
Roberts, both Of East Douglas, charged with
procuring aud melting the negro, George H.
Munroe, to commit an assault upon State Con
stable Fletcher of Whitinsville, took place be
fore Judge Putnam of the second district court
Of southern Worcester, at Blackstone, yesterday
afternoon. After the arrest of Munroe he in
formed several officers that Trombly and Rob
erts hired him to commit the assault, but
upon being placed on the witness stand
he swOre positively that he never had seen
either of the men before. His story is
that while in Putnam, Conn, on Nov. 9th, he
was told by Frenchman that he was wanted
at East Douglas on matter of business. He
went there next day and proceeded TO the hotel,
Soon after his arrival a man, whom he described,
came into the office of the hotel and took him
into side room, where they were soon after
joined by another man. The last conner, who
was Frenchman, then proposed to the negro
that he should 90 to Whitinsville and give
Fletcher good licking" and he would pay
him 300 when the job was done. The French
MOI inn tl,o I,,,t
menJ was made about the payment of the 500.
He went to Whitinsylle the next day, and on
Saturday committed the assault, the particulars
Of which were published last week. He then
went back to East Douglas to secure the money,
but becoming alarmed at the manner in which
he was watched by persons who knew of the
assault, he left town and was subsequently cap
tured by Deputy Sheriff Bacon.
State Constable Fletcher testified to the nature
of the assault, and that Munroe told him that
Trombly and Roberts hired Ihim to commit the
act. Deputy Sheriff Bacon also testified that
since his arrest Munroe had made statements
duplicating rrombly and Roberts.
The defence was conducted by j. H Stockwel
of Webster for Roberts, and John Hopkins of
NIllOury for Trombly. Witnesses were intro
duced TO testify to the general good character of
the defendants, and the positive testimony of
the negro that the defendants were not the men
who hired him was urged by the counsel.
After hearing of the case, which lasted over
five hours, Tromby and Roberts were dis
charged, no evidence appearing to criminate
them in the slightest degree.
There are circumstances connected with this
case which give rise to suspicious that the
negro swore falsely in order to clear his accom-
plices, but there is at present no means of
proving such to be the case. 1t is positively
known, however that the story told by the
negro to the officers, and that told upon the
witness stand are radically different, j. NJ.
Lyons, of Putnam, Conn, appeared as
counsel for the negro, and had several
consultations with him during the trial.
