He Did Not Strike a Female Notary Public
and Is Now Free
The case of battery against John Burke
brought by Mrs. Pickett was dismissed by
Judge Morrison yesterday. 1t appears that
Mrs. Pickett, who is a notary public, rented
offices in the building corner of Main and
Winston streets, of which Burke is the
proprietor. Afiidavits failed to come in
with the desired and even the necessary
frequency, with the result that the lady
got in arrears for her rent to the extent of
81. She had desk which Burke refused
to allow removed until he received his
money.
In company with her attorney, Mr..
George Rowland, Mrs. Pickett called at
the place and tried to take the disputed
article away. Burke, who is burly, threw
Mr.. Rowland out and then, so Mrs. Pickett
claimed, caught hold of her arm and at
tempted to put her out. She resisted and
row occurred, and after having a real
good cry la any other female, she swore
to complaint charging Burke with having
committed battery upon her.
