ed to go up to Lucas Grove. Defend
ant is young man or rather boy,
and he was seen drinking whisky
from bottle on the platform just be-
fore the train started. He was in
toxicated. Just after the train started
he passed from the caboose into the
car, saying he was going to whip
nigger. Otis Pettiford is a young
man, slightly colored, but he would
be taken for white man where he is
not known. He was brakeman on
the train. He was in the act Of light
ing a cigar, when Branscomb ap-
preached him and without any appa-
rent reason for so doing, struck him
with iron knuckles, cutting a cash in
his head, causing the blood to flow
freely. Branscomb's brother then ap-
preached and struck Pettiford, when
Pettiford's brother interfered, and the
Branscombs had their metal knuckles
taken from them. One witness testi-
fed that the first part of the affair
which he saw, was Pettiford with his
right arm around Branscomb's neck,
while he was striking Branscomb in
the face with his left fist. The blood
was flowing from Branscomb's nose,
and from Pettifcrd's head.
For the defense the defendant testi-
fed that Pettiford struck him first.
The Judge commented upon the
aggravated nature Of the assault, and
fined the accused $50 and costs, and
also to be confined in jail ten days.
