DOCTORS DISAGREE. ?

The Condition Of Michael ErrIcO Disr cussed by Learned Men i'm the City
 Court. a
 City court was a jumbled up mess this morning, in which the court house com@ mittee played part. One case would be partly finished, when another would be begun and it kept re- porter busy separating his notes.
 Attorney O'Neiil, Prosecuting Attorney Webster and Doctors Robbins and Graves figured in one case. Attorney ONeill in- sisted on the trial of Antonio Spardosa for assault on Michael Errico. He claimed that Doctors Axtelle and Graves both saw the injured man yesterday and reported him well enough to come down to court Attorney Webster said that Dr Robbins said he was not able to come down. He wanted to try the case as badly as MT O'Neill; he was sick and tired of it. Errico was the only witness and he must wait for him. Dr Gray ss, who was present, said that Errico was out Thursday. He could come down in a hack or a trolley car. Dr Axtelle. who had seen him last night, reported to Dr. Graves that the man was fully able to come to court. Both physicians were of the opinion that Errico was shamming. Dr. Robbins came in at this point and said that the mans pulse | and temperature were normal. It would not be prudent, however, to bring him to ! court. There was an irregular action of | the heart. He was told that Errico had | fainting spells He could stand ten or fif- teen minutes examination. He did not think it would injure him to testify. Judge Cowell said he had suggested to Mir Webster to get Dr Robbins Detective Egan and Doctors Graves and Robbins | were sent by the court to Errico's house. On their return Dr. Robbins thought Err rico might stsnd ten or fifteen minutes Dr Graves said he might stand longer. | Attorney Webster wanted to know if it was case of disagreement of doctors. Judge | Cowell thought the case had better be ad- journed. Attorney O'Neill then asked that the state summon the witnesses for the de- fense. He had been ready to try the case and it was hardship to pay fourteen wit nesses every time. Judge Cowell allowed the state to subpoena SIX witnesses for the defense and adjourned the case until one week from Monday.
 In the James W. Cook case Mrs Niedman, the injured woman, was in court with hen witnesses. Attorney George H. Kennedy of Buffalo again appeared and said that his brother was still absent from the city and asked for another adjournment. He promised if it was adjourned that he would himself become familiar with the case and | attend to it. Attorney Webster consented and the case went over until one week from Monday.
 Mrs Ellen Kennedy was cha rged with breach of the peace and with keeping dis orderly house. James Kennedy, her hus- band. was also charged with the latter offense. Joseph Healey, who lives next door to the Kennedys. st256 Bank street, said that on July 24 the woman threw water into his house, CUTS sd and swore and was very abusive. Prosecutor Webster and Attorney O'Neill were arguing objec- tions the most of the time, until Healy be- came so mixed up that he was glad to re- tire from the witness stand. John Mo. Evoy. a near neighbor, heard of the Ken nedys, but did not know them. He heard singing and loud talk in their house. Judge Cowell thought both witnesses were afraid to tell the whole story. Prosecutor Webster became provoked and said he did not want those people coming to him any more with complaints against the Ken nedys. All the evidence derived from Officers Ahearn, Mccarthy, Noonan. Nc Niff and Blakeley, was that the ''growler was rushed" frequently, there was singing and occasionally loud noise in the house. Mrs Kennedy was fined $5 and costs for breach of the peace and the case of dis orderly house was adjourned for thirty days.
