In the Police Court yesterday the cases
of NJ. NJ. Brady and I'D Brady, for bat
terry, were taken up, and NJ. NJ. Brady
testified that on Saturday night George
Brady and he were talking on Eighth
street, between J and X, when Ed Brady
came up to him and asked him who his
bondsmen were, called him an oppro-
brious name and struck him. de fought
himself clear and went to a saloon near
by, where Ed and Jim Brady followed
and assaulted him. He managed to get
away, and, finding officer Maley, had Ed
arrested. The trouble was over the set
Element of the estate of their mother.
When Ed struck him he (the witnessl
took a billy out of his pocket and struck
at his assailant, but Ed knocked him
down. Ed, jim and George were all
drunk.
Witness said he lives some distance out
OF town, and carries the billy TO protect
himself from footpads. He did not carry
1t for the purpose of doing up Ed brauy'
nor did he tell anybody so.
George Brady testified that he met
Milton and they had some discussion
over the family property, and the latter
applied to all the other brothers an cpl
thet rejecting on their origin. Ed came
up and said something in reply, when
'Milt'' put his hand in his pocket, drew
8 weapon of some kind and struck Ed
over the head with it.
Ed did not strike Milton, but grabbed
him, and they both tumbled. Ed was
not very peaceable when drunk. The
three brothers did not come there to-
gether, and the witness did not know
where Ed came from. Jim arrived on
the scene just about the time Milton and
ed tumbled. The witness was sober, but
Ed was perhaps drunk, and jim nad
probably had some beer. Jim started TO
separate the others. Witness was sober
when the. fight took place, ont drank
afterwards and came down to jail.
Harry Wagner swore that he and Ed
Brady were coming from the Peerless Sa-
loon, and Ed said he wanted to speak to his
brother George. Ed and Milt were talking
loud, and he told Jim there was going to
be a row. He thought Milton Brady
called one of the others foul name, and
then struck Ed over the head with some
thing. Ed did not strike Milton, but
they clinched and tumbled.
Being asked by the City Attorney if he
had ever been convicted OF felony, he
said he had.
j. K. Brady testified that he was in a
saloon when Wagner told him there was
going to be fuss, and he went out TO
stop it, AS he stepped out Milton Brady
struck Ed on the head. He tried to
separate them, and Milton struck him
with billy. He did not see Ed strike
Milton. The latter pushed him away and
said he had been laying for Ed for several
months. Witness ran after Milt to stop
him and Ed from fighting, and when
they ran in the side door of the Cafe
Royal ne ran around to the front to stop
them.
Witness said he did not make any as
sault on Milton until he was struck by
him with the billy. They were both on
the ground when he interfered.
Ed Brady swore that he came from the
Peerless Saloon with Wagner, and
heard Milton and George talking about
bondsmen. Witness told Milton that
they could get bondsmen, If he could not.
Milton called them foul name, and
struck witness over the head with club.
Witness did not strike Milton first. He
did not 90 there to find him. When he
was struck he clinched. He did not
know how Milton got his black eye,
Officer Maley stated that he saw Milton,
Jim and Ed Brady in the Cafe Royal
saloon on Saturday night. Jim and Ed
We're under the influence of liquor; but
Milton was sober.
Judge Buckley said the testimony was
very conflicting. Wagner and the two
brothers had testified with considerable
unanimity that Milton struck the first
blow.
The circumstances of Milton Brady be-
ing sober and running away were IN ms
favor These things created doubt in his
mind, and he would have to lind the de-
PENDANTS not guilty.
The second case against Ed Brady, that
of disturbing the peace, was then taken
up.
Milton Brady testified that he went
into saloon and Ed followed him, pulled
OFF his coat and wanted to fight, calling
him an opprobrious name. Officer Maley
came in and witness asked him to arrest
Ed, which was done. Ed attempted to
strike him, and officer Maley interfered.
officer Maley testified that he saw Mil
ton Brady come in, followed by Ed, who
called Milton on approbrious name. They
were hatless, and Milton was trying to
get away Jim tried to get him to let Ed
alone, but he refused. Witness finger
was not bitten by defendant then, but
afterward.
Ed Brady testified that he ran after
Milton after the fight on Eighth street,
and followed him into the saloon.
The Judge pronounced Ed Brady
guilty. The latter's counsel asked for
ieniency for the reason that the defendant
was angry and excited on account of the
fight in which they had been engaged,
and heavy fine would only put him in
Jail, as he had no money.
Judge Buckley said the fact of one
brother applying to another the term
testified to could not be excused. He
then fined the defendant $50, with the
usual alternative.
LORENzERS LOAN.
