THE HOUSE.

The debate on the Senate free coinage
substitute for the House bond bill was
scheduled to commence today. and there
was a good attendance, in consequence, in
the galleries The session opened with an
attempt to pass bill to stop the "pugi-
listic festival" billed to take place near Ell
Paso, Texas" on February H. Mr.. Catron
unanimous consent for the consideration
of bill making it misdemeanor punish
able by imprisonment for not less than five
years and not more than ten, for men to
District of Columbia or the territories Of
the United States. A "pugilistic encoun-
ter" as defined by the bill, is a fight be-
charged. The bill had not been reported
by a committee. and Mr.. Bartlett (N.Y)
interposed an objection, but withdrew It
when Mr.. Henderson Qowa) pleaded the
urgency of the case.
Mr. Catron explained that it was notorious
that the prepa ra tons for the series of fights
now going on At Ell Paso Texas, could not
take place there, but were to occur In the
territory of New Mexico, which was within
three miles Of Ell Paso.
The governorVof New Mexico had publicly
stated, Mr.. Catron said, that he knew of no
law to prevent thef fights His personal
opinion was that they could be stopped by
the governor, Hbut that the latter had no
disposition to stop them.
Mr.. Catron saso said that 1t was the DUR
rose of the managers Of these fights to sup
plement them with bull fights, and some
Mexican bulls were now on their way to the
United States. In view Of the shortness of
the time remaining 1nine days. he warned
the House THAI If objection were made and
the bill was sent to committee it could not
pass both houses and be signed in time to
prevent the mills"
What penalty does this bill prescribe?"
asked Mr.. Knox Mass).
HEgya ran1fp0 Mr. no
at is fortunate that it does not prescribe
capital punishment" said Mr.. Knox. II
object he added emphatically. The bill
vas referred.

ceedings will be, found elsewhere in The

Mr.. Ding1ey on the Bond Bill.

committee has recommended non-concur-
renee.

CONVICTED OF ASSAULT.
End of the Case of Assnultins an
officer.

When Assistant District Attorney JEFF
fords concluded the closing argument yes
terday afternoon in the case of James
Early, Richard Hurley and Maurice Davis
charged with assaulting Policeman Vermil-
lion on the 22d of last September, Judge
Cox adjourned the trial until this morn
ing. When the trial was resumed today
after counsel for the defendants had sub
mitted a few additional prayers, the Jury
was instructed.
In charging the jury, Judge Cox said that
there was much in the case to confuse
them, and he would endeavor to assist them
in reaching conclusion. Assaulting an
officer while he Is engaged in the discharge
of duty is really assault upon the gov
eminent. But the officer must be proceed
ing lawfully, for If he does otherwise the
prisoner sought to be arrested or abused
has the right to resist. The first question
to be considered was, therefore, whether
Officer Vermillion was engaged in making
lawful arrest when, as he claims, he was
assaulted. If Dempsey was disorderly then
the officer was right in attempting to ar
rest him, and the man should have quietly
submitted, as should have his companions
the defendants. But if the defendants
merely acted in the matter passively, Of
fering no resistance to Dempseys arrest
they should not be found guilty.
Shooting of Dempsey.
million. accidentally or purposely, Judge
Cox said the jury had nothing to do, de-
spite the violent denuncfations of the
policeman. In any event, it appeared that
the shooting did not occur until after the
alleged assault upon the officer, and what
ever the liability of Vermillion, his shoot
ing of Dempsey should in no way influence
the judgment of the jury in determining
the guilt or innocence Of the defendants
Referring to the two versions of the
shooting of Dempsey, the court said that
If Vermillion was successfully contradicfaa
then the jury might discredit his yothef
statements, and that rule could be applied
to the testimony of all other witnesses
But the main questions were, was there
such disorderly conduct on the part of
Dempsey as to warrant his arrest? and
was the officer assaulted by the defendants
while endeavoring to make and maintain
such arrest? If those questions were
answered in the affirmative, then the de-
PENDANTS should be convicted as indicted,
But if the jury found that the arrest of
Dempsey was not authorized, but that
nevertheless the defendants assaulted the
officer, they would be guilty merely of
simple assault
Judge Cox explained the meaning of
reasonable doubt, the value of previous
good character, and then, at 1885, di-
rected the jury to retire, counsel for the
defendants expressing their entire sarisfac-
ton with the courts Instructions a rather
unusual occurrence.
The jury late this afternoon rendered a
verdict OF simple assault.
