AHot-steaded witness.

Frank Barr, a tall, slender young man,
was summoned before the Police Court
this morning to testify in a petty larceny
case. While standing on the steps of the
court he was discussing the case with an
other witness, when Oflcer Slack remon-
strOted with him about talking to witnesses.
Barr had been drinking and he used a pro-
fame remark and was arrested by Slack, and
he resisted and struck the officer in the
eyes and behind the ear. He also struck
BailifT Barton, who attempted to lock him
up. In about fifteen minutes afterward
Barr had been tried and fined s. for pro-
family, $40 for assault on Barton, and
charged under the statutes with assaulting
an officer. In the latter case he was held
for the grand Jury.

blocking it up. This called out the select
