Argument of Council.
In the Ackcnbach-Hcnry case slues-
day l.. Council, attorney for defendant,
moved for the dismissal of the defendant
on the grounds that there had been no
threats made against Achenbach. 1t
was only polite Invitation to come off
the sidewalk and have friendly cncoun-
ter, and whoever was the best man would
crow in future. Itwould be dctrimc entail
to our sporting interests to bind man
over to keep tho peace for II little harm
less amusement that all the bystanders
took part in.
District Attorney Morgan said that
Mr.. Achenbach was u good citizen and
invoked the aid Of the statute instead Of
making u blackguard of himself on
the streets fighting, and if every one
did as he did there would be less crime
in our land. Why did Henry challenge
Achenbach Off the sidewalk if not
to assault him? lie is in bodily fear
Of Henry and could not sleep at nights
and he should be bound over under
heavy bonds to keep the peace.
The count thought the sporting inter-
ests would be amply protected if Henry
was bound over.
