! SMOllet's Hearing Continued..G en-
eraI Town Talk.
| Officer Smolet was arragned before Asso-
ciate Judge Manwaring yesterday at 9 a. m.
on the charge of assaulting w. H. Beardsey,
while arresting him, on July 5. Fayette
Marsh and E. b. Burlington opened for
Beardsley and J. N. Searles for Smollet. The
| court room was crowded with spectators and
witnesses. Twelve or fifteen witnesses were
examined and the testimony was given to
| diSprove that of BeardSley. Smollet pleaded
guilty to assault and battery. Searles intro
| duced testimony as to the kind of assault.
| To this Scales objected, saying that he had
| no right, that the city attorney was the proper
authority to prosecute the case. Marsh said
| he had right to do this, that he was repre-
| senting wronged community, that Gregory
had appeared against Beardsley when he was
| tried for assaulting Shortall and had taken an
| entirely different side, that his sympathies
| and energies had been devoted to the other
| side of the case and that it would be unfair
| for him to appear in behalf of Beardsley.
| Gregory consented to allowing Marsh to in-
| troduce evidence as to the kind of assault,
and the morning was taken up by the testi-
mony, which will be submitted to Gregory
| next Tuesday.
The evening post-mortem sheet, which sell
dom reports anything correctly and which
generally attempts to try prisoner and con-
Wet him before he is brought into court,
| stated last evening that Judge Manwaring
had reserved Smallett's sentence till next
Tuesday is erroneous. Since Smaett's ar
rest this alleged newspaper has criticised our
efficient police force very unjustiy.
