Williamson owed Dowd bill, which ne re-
fused In very offensive language to pay. Mrs.
Dowd then quietly elected Williamson and Martin,
saying they should make no disturbance
there. They went away angry and In ff-
teen minutes returned, williamson having in
MS hand an iron pipe about two inches thick
and three and half feet long. Martin entered
Dowds store again and demanded .'more drink
or nght.n and ne was not particular which. Mrs.

II, and could not say positively that IL was sucn.
No hole could be found In Williamson's clothing.
Dr. westbrook who oId probe the wound at che

with. Dowd alleged further that the story OF the
shooting was part OF o conspiracy against him,
and that the witnesses who swore TO u testified
falsely. The case has been under examination

OF comment In South Brooklyn. Yesterday Jus
tlce Delmar rendered his decision, discharging
