The case OF the United States agt. Charles Pei
nam, charged with assault and battery with
intent to kill Richard G.. Busted, was called.
This affair occurred at the Imperial
Hotel one week ago, and tho princi-
pal facts have heretofore been stated in
The STAR. Mr.. Cook appeared for defendant
After hearing the testimony the judge reviewed
1t, stating that 1t had not been shown that
the pistol was cooked or even loaded, nor that
1t had been drawn until after the battery had
been made by the hands, therefore the charge
Of intent to kill had not been sustained, and If
30 held by the Police Court, the Supreme Court
OF the District would not entertain such a
charge. In support of this view he cited the
case OF the United States aEt Lloyd, for assault
WIN intent TO Kill costumer Of this city named
Donohue, tried in this court some time AGO.
In this case testimony was that the pistol
was nred by Lloyd and struck the wall near to
Donohue, and the court dismissed the charge of
intent to kill, and imposed q fine for common
assault; he would not entertain the charge in
this case, but give leave to the prosecuting at
torney to amend his information. The bonds
were continued until q new warrant Is made
an end to the case.
