THE GOLDEN ASSAULT.
Unpleasant Episode Between Police
man and LaWXer in Court.

Unpleasant Episode Between Police
man and Lawyer i'm Court.
Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court.
after The Stars report closed in the case
of the four young men-David Adams, VIII
liam Werden, Robert Simmons and David
Werden-charged with assaulting Mr.. r. A.
Golden last Saturday night. Policemen
Hughes AMI Bannagan were further exam
ined, and although they were witnessesfor
the prosecution, their evidence was favor
able to the defendants. Each Of the three
lawyers. Messrs. Gloss. Lipscomb and Will
hanson took a hand In the cross-exami-
nations and got the officers SO badly mixed
that they almost imagined they were not in
the case
While Policeman Hughes was on the
stand Mr.. Lipscomb cross-examined him at
some length concerning his alleged attempt
to get confessions from the defendants,
and the officer answered HE wouldn't say
anything" But counsel insisted on the
witness telling whether or not he had asked
his client anything. After some little time
the officer finally admitted he had. and also
admitted that he had probably told one of
the defendants that another of them had
been talking.
This evidence thoroughly disguised the
lawyer, who characterized 1t as shameful.
ard remarked: II wouldn't hang yellow
dog on such evidence" and added, Some
policemen are liars
These remarks did not cause an outbreak
on the part of the prosecution. and passed
almost unnoticed until after court had adj
journed. when Officer Hughes called the
lawyer to account for what he had said,
and Lawyer Lipscomb answered him with
a blow. Judge Miller called the party to
order. but no explanations were called for.
When the prosecution had rested its case
the defendants attorneys thought 1t hardly
necessary to put their clients on the stand,
because the proof had not shown them
guilty, but the court thought 1t would be
better for them to make their statements,
which they did. They denied that they
were guilty Of the offense charged, and gave
satisfactory accounts of their conduct Sat
| urday night The young mems characters
could not be questioned, and when the time
came for the court to charge the jury Judge
Miller had very little to say, but what few
remarks he did make were favorable TO the
defense. The jury returned a verdict Of
acquittal without leaving their seats. and
then the unpleasant episode between the
police and counsel followed.

burning discriminating Evidence.


On Sunday evening. after having return
ed the cleaysr to the person from whom he
procured it, the superintendent says Caesar
went to his rooms and burned UP the eff
fects of the woman So much smoke and
so curious an odor arose from the flames
as he proceeded that the attention of a
woman living on the floor above was at
tracted. She came down stairs, knocked
at Caesars door, and asked If his room
was afire. The door was locked, and the
murderer refused to open 1t, but he called
out in reply that he had only been kindling
a fire with damp wood and the woman
went away satisfied.
Monday and Tuesday Caesar worked at
the hat store as usual, and the crime re-
manned a mystery.
When the rooms were examined yester-
day, after the prisoners arrest, a piece
of the handle of an umbrella, a number of
hair pins and other belongings of the dead
woman were found in the ashes.
The walls were splattered with blood.
No attempt had been made by the muir
derer to eradicate these tell-tale marks
and the police removed the stained wood
for microscopical examination.
Caesar is about twenty-eight years old
and was born in the West India Islands
He is a little above medium height and
is very black-sknned. He has been in New
York city since 1890.

Reporters representing New York papers
have been here making an effort to learn
something of Mary Martins relatives and
friends, but it Is thought they failed To
find them. If she ever lived here the police
do not know it.

it was so different. AS is well known
there was no clue. The woman had been

Trniners' Licenses. Granted.

In his message On the convcning of the
Florida legislature, Gov. Mitchell, in strong
terms. has recommended that "These prize
fights, or glove contests, be made felonies
by statute. with such penalties attached
as will cause these thugs to respect law
and to respect law-abiding. God-fearing
people of the state in pursuit of all their
rights as citizens" According to the gov
ernor's view, the law should authorize
sherifs to enter a house or Enclosure and
arrest on suspicion of fight, and 1t should
also make persons present at the fight
guilty of a felony and, upon conviction, be
punished the same as the PRINCIPALS.
