THE WILTON ASSAULT.
The Trial OF Daggelt.-Te.timony Of the
Physician.

FARMINGroN, May IA.
Wednesday afternoon Warren Daggett was
brought before Judge Chandler in the Farm
ington municipal court, and plead not guilty
to the charge of assault. and also to the
charge of assault with intent to murder, upon
which count he was placed upon trial. County
Attorney Joseph C. Holman ably managed the
case for the government, and Henry l. Whit
comb of Pennington defended the prisoner.
The bloody stone with which the deed was
committed, and the torn and bloody hat of the
injured man was produced in court. Daggett
claimed that Ranger made an unprovoked
attack upon him with sled stake, and he
was in peril of his life and acted in self de-
fence. The testimony of DIR. Joseph w.
Perkins of Wilton, medical attendant upon
Ranger, showed that the wound was located
in the temple about half an inch below the
hair and was two inches in length, with a
branch wound half an inch in length There
was no external fracture of the skull, but he
was unable to say whether there was any
internal fracture, and in that uncertainty lay
the danger to the mans life. Daggett was
held to await the action of the grand jury.
