Jas. u. Cleveland was charged with assault aud
battery on Chas. q. Pierce, who testified that the
accused made the assault on witness In the
! Treasury building with loaded cane. Accused
went into witness place OF business previously
and asked for the cane, and was Informed that II
had been previously delivered to him, which he
denied. Accused then caught up another cane
and went out, complainant following him to the
Treasury, where he demanded Il, aud the assault
was commenced by the accused. Witness called
hin thief, and after some hard words accused
demanded to know why he was following him.
Witness replied that he wanted his cane, aud ac-
cused struck him with Il over the hand. Both OF
/ them then cllnched and punched each other until
! separated by some clerks, who subsequently gave
] their testimony to the above effect. The assault
/ took place on the second floor, In hall which

! lected crowd Of clerks. Both got pretty severe
punishment, but Mr.. Pierce showed that he got

Mr. Cleveland, and after they cllnched the
latter seemed to have the best OF 1t, as he had
lierces arms pinloned The cane was shivered
by the blow struck, and the weight OF the loaded
end was some two or three ounces.
For the defence II was testified that the blow
from the cane struck the wall instead OF PieTce's

his cane. Mr.. L. replied sharply, and after ban
dying some words the blow was struck by C.,

Of the broken parts In his hand which he threw
away. Mr.. Pierce was following Mr.. Z. and de-
mandlng the cane In threatening manner when

that Mr.. c. had left the cane with Mr. r. for re-
pairs, and had called several times for II, and
not getting II, finally called on this occasion ut
the shop, when It could not be found, and Mr.
Pierce inslnuated that Mr.. &. was attempting 10
beat him out OF q cane. Mr.. P. was intoxicated
at the time, but offered hr. u. another one TO
make up for the loss Of his cane, which he ac-
Cepted and walked out. After he had proceeded
