FIGHT IN A PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY.

A LAWYER AND A DOCTOR OF BROOKLYN AND
THE PHOTOGRAPHER ARRESTED.
There was fight in the photograph gallery Of
Emil Heyman, at No. 4 st. Marks Place yesterday
afternoon. and a result Dr. H. Plympton, a
police surgeon. OF No. $50 Marcy-ave.. Brooklyn and
Adophus J. Boyd. a lawyer OF the Arbuckle Build
ing Brooklyn. and Heyman were placed under ar
rest and arraigned in the Essex Market Court late
yesterday afternoon. The photographer accused the
doctor and lawyer Of assautlng him. and they made
a counter charge against him OF assaulting them.
The trouble started over photograph which Mrs
Plympton says she gave to Heyman for the purpose
Of having crayon portrait made Of It. The versions
of the fight. told by the prisoners. differed some
what.
DR.. Plympton said that some time ago an agent
in the employ Of the photographer called at his
house and secured an order for the crayon. He de-
cared that when his wife called for the crayon and
the photograph Heyman refused to deliver 1t unless
she purchased $50 frame. This she refused to do
and told her husband. The latter, accompanied by
Boyd went to the photograph gallery yesterday af-
ternoon and made demand for the property They
were accompanied by a friend, whom they met on
the way Before reaching the gallery the doctor Is
alleged to have purchased revolver in the expecta
ton of trouble Boyd testified In court that he car
red the revolver until they reached Heymans apart
ments, when he handed 1t to DR.. Plympton.
Heyman testified that he unjustly assaulted.
.'These men," he said, rushed into my place like
wild animals. Plympton advanced toward me and
said: Give me my wife's photograph. replied:
BE patient You will be patient In hospital II
YOU don't hand II over said the doctor.
'"Then before l could say word. the doctor
seized me by the throat and almost choked me. He
nointed the revolver at my head and said he had
n great mind to shoot me- ! made grab for the
revolver, and then he grappled with me. and tore
from my shirt shouted for help and police
man came. .
that he heard the noise, and when he entered the
place ne found Heyman the doctor and the lawyer
Engaged in a rough and tumble fight. He said he
could not tell who the aggressors. and when
ne entered the they all started TO talk at once
H. niaced them ali under arrest. The doctor said
that he went into the place with peaceful intentions
and when he asked Heyman for the photograph the
latter struck him the face. and then he defended
himself The lawyer corroborated his statement:
Magistrate Crane, after listening to the different
TO blame He discharged the prisoners. and warned
the Brooklyn lawyer. and doctor not to Try to get
the photograph by force. but to proceed by civil
action.
