State vs.. John H. Kittridge. County
attorney for State; F. E. Southland for
defendant This is an indictment for
assault and battery. The government
testimony tended to show that on the day
OF the alleged assault, a son of the respond
ent went to the rifle range, in this city, to
dig bullets from the bank back of the tar
gets, and that the complainant, Charles E.
Conforth, the proprietor of the premises,
ordered him off; that the boy refusing to
go, he took hold of his arm and helped him
along; that the respondent went with the
boy to the house of the complainant,
showed the boys arm to Conforth, and
asked him il he thought that was treating
the lad right, Conforth replying that it was !;
that the respondent invited him out into the
street, saying he would show him whether
it was right; that he ordered Kittridge away,
and he refused, and struck and kicked COM
plainant, and stepped back and drew a
revolver, cooked it and aimed it at COM
plainant, and threatened to FIX him; that q
brother came to the door of the house with
a shotgun, which complainant took, and
covering the respondent with it, drove him
out of the yard, when some of
the militia then in camp came along
and put an end to the disturbance. The
defendant claims that his boy was injured
in the arm by the complainant, and he went
there with the boy for an explanation; that
the complainant, who was repairing a car
riage, made an assault upon him with a
hammer, and he drew the revolver in self
defence, the revolver being one he happened
to have in bis pocket that afternoon on q
cunning expedition. He denied that he
assaulted the complainant During the
progress of the defence the respondent was
taken suddenly ill, and it appearing that
the case could not be proceeded with today,
it was by consent of counsel taken from the
jury, and will be disposed of hereafter.
