The men had some words about the closing

the actors In the stock ompan refused TO 20
on with the performance because their sal
aVies were not paid. Kahn says he went to
Mordaunt & Blocks office tn hook some new

closing OF his theatre. ''That's .. nice trick
you played on me Saturday night" he said to
Block. according to Kahn. said he had played
no trick, and the dispute became heated.
Finally Block called Kahp a liar and struck
him IN the chest. Kahn says he returned the

well licked. Mordaunt came up from behind
and struck Kahn on the head with a cane.
Kahn fell IN the floor Unconscious. Kahn
