Says He, Too, Was Assaulted, and Col
 lns Proposed the Ride.
 Martin Ersley who is now in jail gave ou; the following stat tment of the as- sault:
 q came here two weeks ago from Mem phis and went to the Southern hotel My business has been of la.e racing and bet- ting on races have lest and won. have lost $2,OOO in two weeks, bu, have made enough more than that to have this money ($60W in my pocket.
 For the past two or three days MT. Collins, a MT. Guthrie, of Lexington, Ky, and I have been together a great deal We have been at Forest Park and Forest Park Highlands, and during the recent holidays have taken many street car rides. Tuesday night Guthrie was not with us, but MT. Collins proposed, about S;15 in the evening, that we ride cut to Merrimac Highlands. We rode out there.
 About II o'clock Collins said we ought to be getting in and 1 assented. We left the hotel and began climbing the steps that lead up to the electric car loop, or pavilion. When about half way up some. body struck Collins on the right side of the head. I was on his left side and he fell against me. Then another man came up ard aimed a blow at me, but missed. me. saw that the man who struck Col- linS had n implement in his hand, which 1 afterwads found to be a hammer.
 The man had black mnustache, fan mel shirt, black trousers and common white felt hat with no band. After hit ting Collins twice the man dropped the ha mmer and clinched with Collins. picked up the hammer and began to lay about me to defend Collins and myself.
 "It is possible in the darkness and con- fusion I may, too, have struck Collins. I krow hit somebody,a hard lick. Then I felt a hand in my pocket and dropped hand had my watch, valuable gold one I bought in Memphis. Quick as flash was struck in the face with the watch. and nearly knocked sepseless. I was dazed for second or two and when I recovered I saw the man running around the hotel and I took after them. I was. met by lot of hotel servants, but Ikept: after the two men, calling for help. They escaped among the trees and shrubbsry.
 q searched for some time but could. find TO trace, and then began to realize the horror of the situation, and made a search for the sheriff, of course I was so dazed and excited that don't remem- Der where ] wandered for the next half hour I know found a house. There was told how to find the watchman. Busch, and I gave myself up to him."
 EnsIey emphaticallyl denied that he krew anything about Collins finances, and insisted that 1t was Collins who pro- posed the ride. "I could have no purpose in robbing him." said the prisoner.
