WAS 1T SELF DEFENCE.
George Pierce's Explanation of His Attack
on Philip Bouchard.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Lewiston, November 1o.-George W.
Pierce was tried in the Municipal court
today for an assault upon Phillip Bouch.
ard. The story of the assault was told in
the PRESS Tuesday. Hon. W. Ell,
Newell was the counsel for Pierce and
Hon. d. j. McGillicuddy appeared for
Bouchard. A large crowd of spectators
was in attendance upon the hearing
which lasted all day.
Dr. Leader testified to dressing the
wounds upon Bouchards head. There
were seven cuts which were made with
knife or some sharp instrument. In five
of these wound stitches had to be taken
Bouchard told his story which was to
the effect that he YVES to leave the house
of Miss Warren, with whom he had been
boarding and was offering to shake hands
with her when she drew back and told
him to be careful as Pierce was looking
in the window at them. Bouchard then
went out and Pierce was sitting on the
door step. After the exchange of few
words he was attacked by Pierce, who as
saulted him savagcly and cut him on the
head several times with knife. He was
SO blinded with the blood which filled his
eyes that he could not resist the attack
made upon him.
Ex-Alderman Arsene Caller heard the
struggle between the men and as soon as
he could stopped Pierce from striking
Bouchard. He got Bouohard into
stable near by and tried to stop the flow
of blood from his wounds. Bouehard was
SO weakthat he could hardly stand
The defence was that Bouchard struck
Pierce first and that the latter acted in
self defence. 1t was claimed that the
cuts upon Bouchard's head were made by
his falling against post which was filled
with nails.
Judge Cornish, before whom the case
was tried, announced that he would
mako his decision in the morning.
There has been much criticism caused
by the delay In getting out a warrant for
Pierce Pierce is said to be worth some
$25, 900.
1t has teen decided at once to bring a
civil suit against Pierce for heavy dam
ages.
= Bouchard is getting along quite well
but he is not yet out of danger from the
terrible wounds he received.
