IRVING DISCHARGED
District Attorney Looked Upon the
Charge as Spite Work

On motion of Deputy District Attorney
Willis, Judge Smith yesterday dismissed
the case of the people against James Irv-
ing for assault with deadly weapon. The
motion was made because in examining
the transcript of the proceedings in the
preliminary hearing before the police
court it was found that there was wholly
a lack of evidence showing the defendant
to have ben guilty Of a more serious Of
fense than battery. The police justice had
so rema rked in rendering his decision in
the case, but as William Smith, the COM
planning witness, refused to swear to a
charge Of battery, to which Irving was
willing to plead guilty, the court decided
to refer the final disposition of the matter
to Judge Smith. There is much to indicate
that the complainant was reany using the
courts as a means of furthering what he
deemed his business interests.
1t will be remembered that Smith and
Irving were the partners in an assaying
business, and that the case grew out of
a fight between them, in which Smith al
legged that Irving struck him over the head
with a cuspidor. The matter resulted in a
dissolution of the firm, and, by agreement
E. A. Anderson was permitted to act as a
sort Of receiver in settling up the partner
ship matters He was to be compensated
for his services at the rate of 50 per day.
After his compensation had eaten a big
hole in the assets OF the firm, a final ac-

was had and Smith and the re-
ceiver thereupon set up a partnership bus
iness themselves under the firm name of
William L. Smith IL Co. Irving also took
a new partner, and is now of the firm Of
James Smith Il Co.
Meanwhile Smiths assault case against
Irving was pending in the police court, and
as soon as the court decided to hold Irv-
ing for trial in the superior court Smit h
& Co. procured copy of the record show
ing Irving to be bound over for trial on the
charge OF assault with deadly weapon"
had 1t printed on their letcer-heads and
mailed copies to all the customers or the
old firm and probably to prospective ones.
1nasmuch as the police justice had said
that there was no evidence to prove Irv-
ing guilty OF more than minor offense,
this action undoubtedly represents the
court in position which it by no means
occupied-that of backing a charge of
felony agaist Mr.. Irvig.
The district attorneys department was
shown the circular alluded to, and at once
determined to aid no such scheme. Ths
facts as above related were therefore set
forth to Judge Smith and the case was dis
Missed forthwith
