The District Court room was packed

cred to- hear the case against Thomas
Murtha charged with making an assault
upon William Evans at his store On Ions
dale avenue on the evening OF Sept. 81.
The prisoner arrived at $3.50 IN charge of
Officer Bagley. When His Honor Judge
Goh assembled the bench he requested that
a policeman be detailed to keep company
with the prisoner and Patrolman Walsh
took seat beside him. Town Solicitorl
Bosworth represented the plaintiff and
Joseph Osheld the defendant.
The man Evans, who was held up,'
testified that he saw the defendant at his
store on the night OF Sept. 81 and also
described how Murtha and "pal" camel
into the store. Evans told his story In a
| somew hat dramatic manner, and did not
remember OF ever seeing Murtha before,
the night he was "held up" and not from,
| that time up to the night he was arrested, !
when he identified him at the police sta
| tion one week ago tonight. He saw him
| after being told by an officer that they
| had the man who shot at him. He was
| not sure what kind OF looking man the
other party was, but was sure that Muir
| tha was one of them. He wore a soft hat
and the other man wore a stiff hat.
The bullet was here shown, and its To-
cation when found, explained. The father
| of the witness found the bullet between
| two -four barrels.
Lawyer Osfiald stated that the case was
not with intent to kill, for had he in-I
tended such he could have accomplished
v,ab taa limo m ba nj
| Osfield also asked that the bail be re-
duced to the sum OF 5000. Attorney,
Bosworth argued that the intent was
shown; that Murtba was there with the
pistol, and that no testimony was intro,
duced to dispute such. Judge Goff ad-
judged the defendant probably guilty and
bound him over In the same sum as be-
fore, 5000. He was taken to jail to await
| trial.
