LONDON, Oct. 24.-Geo. Rogers, the
American arrested at the instance OF
Parkinson, editor of the Stephens Re-
view, on charge of assault, was Before
the Bow street police court to-day.
Train, the barrister for the prosecution,
said that Rogers visited the office of
the Review and as a result of this
Visit an article of an amusing character
was inserted in the Review. In this
Rogers was termed "palker Rogers.n
Rogers objected to the article and re-
visited the office. He there INDUCED
in an abuse and throttled Manager
Parkinson and swore that he would
kill him. Parkinson, however, re-
ceived no serious injury. After
that he assaulted the cashier. There
was no doubt, the barrister continued,
that Rogers was dangerous man and
was connected with people engaged in
various dangerous ofieRses. The
sooner he left England the better it
would be for himself.
Parkinson testified that Rogers
called at the Review office and offered
to write an article and that this article
appeared. Subsequently to this he
met Rogers at the American Exchange
and was assaulted by him. Rogers
acted like mailman and uttered sew
eral threats Rogers, he certified, gave
him no useful information in regard to
the presidential election in the United
States, and nothing that he said on
that score appeared in the Re
view. He was seeking information
of this kind because the Review was
contemplating the publication Of a
special edition on the American can
didates, Blaine and Cleveland. He
had been recommended to find Telker
Rogers as one who would be likely to
give him the facts he desired.
Rogers said in his defense that he had
been treated unfairly. He had been call
ed rowdy and rufiian and accused OF
being an Irishman and associated with
dangerous people. The fact was hC
was Vermonter and the accusation
that he was connected with dynamic
ers was made to prejudice the people
