FOES or ORTIZ STEIN FINED.
Berry. English and His SON Assessed
5000 Each

S@bb Eucn.
Atlanta. Ga. June 9.-Judge John D. Ber-
ny of the city Court Of Atlanta, was fined
500 by Judge John s. Gambler in the Su-
perior Court to-day for committing an as
sault and battery upon the person Of Orth
II. Stein, editor Of the Defunct Looking
Glass, in the dining room of the Kimban
House.
Capt. James W English one of the most
prominent citizens was at the same sit
ting of the court fined 500 for assaulting
Judge Berry at the Capital City Club.
while his son. James W. English, Jr., was
fined 500 for carrying concealed weapons,
and $50 for participating ia the assault up
on Judge Berry at the club by his father.
Ortiz H. Stein was also on the docket
to be tried for carrying pistol, but the
case against him was continued on ac-
count of the illness Of his lawyer, Col. w.
c. Glenn
All the cases were the outcome of the
famous poker game Of Savannah politi-
clans at the Kimban House last winter.
This innocent little game has caused fights
galore in Atlanta. After the participants
were arrested, Stein, In his paper, cen
sured Solicitor O'Nen and Judge Berry Of
the City Court.
Immediately Mr. ONe1 hunted Stein up
and slapped his face in the lobby of the
kimbali House.
Following This there was another sensa-
tional scene in the recorders court room,
when Hon. Harvey Johnson denounced
Stein. Bloodshed was expected to result
from this for days, Stein then being re-
garded a dangerous man.
The next difficulty was that at the Cap
ital CITY Club
According TO the statements of both
sides, which were repeated in the court
room to-day, Capt. English accused Judge
Berry of circulating the report that he was
STEMS hacker in the publication of his
disreputable sheet This so angered the
captain that he looked up Judge Berry and
attacked him with a club, knocking him
down. His son was on hand to see fair
play, and in the excitement not only as
sisted his father but drew a pistol.
Several days after Judge Berry walked
up to Stein, who was seated at a table in
the dining of the Kimball House at
dinner, and after smashing a ketchup
bottle over has head, knocking him down,
stamped in his face
Stein was very badly hurt. For sew
eral days it was feared that he might die
from the effects of the judges anger.
Cases were made against all parties, in
GLIDING Stein, who had a pistol it is
claimed, when Judge Berry attacked him,
but they have been allowed TO stand on
the docket without being tried until to-
day.
As a result of all these rows, STEMS pa
per went to the wall. The attacks upon
him were the beginning of the end, and
he soon severed his active connection with
it, the last issue being printed two weeks
ago.
At the time of STEMS affair with Solic-
itor O'Nei he had a pistol and was fined
for carrying it.. Judge Gambler said to
him then that he would not let a second
offense 80 with a fine, and 1t is therefore
expected that the eX-editor will get a
severe penalty when arraigned under the
present indictment, If he is convicted
Both Capt. English and his son entered
pleas of guilty when arraigned to-day.
