Assault Was Committed.

In the suit of William Mahoney
against Havelock Faulkner, Judge
Rogers who heard the case in the jury
trial waived division of the Appellate
Court late yesterday afternoon, handed
down a decision in favor of the defend
ant. On. Aug. 2, 1897. according TO the
testimony of the plaintiff, who is but
years old now. being on the date given
but 6. he was deliberately and without
provocation struck by the defendant who
walked across from his Ice cart to a
bank on which the plaintiff sat eating
a piece OF ice. The plaintiff was struck,
he claims. with some ice that the ice
man had in a pair of tongs. The lads
mother called doctor who found the
blow with the ice had caused a scalp
wound merely.
Some witnesses i'm behalf of the plain
tiff testified the defendant said he hit
the boy and was sorry for 1t. The de-
fendant testified that while he was
standing on the tail board OF the wagon
TO take piece of ice ost of the wagon
a little boy crawled under the cart and
the ice hit him. but not hard enough
to knock him down.
Judge Rogers says that in the con-
tradiction of testimony he has no
hesitation in believing the defendant
and his helper and says that the de-
fendant's appearance and manner did
not at all indicate that he was man
to make a ruffianly attack on child,
such as IL was claimed was committed,
but on the contrary his CAIN and tenn
perate manner favorably impressed the
court The offer of the defendant to
pay the Doctors bill, his honor does not
look upon as an acknowledgment of any
wrong doing on his part.
III. c. Curtis was attorney for the de-
fendant.

DEATH ACCIDENTAL.
Decision of Coroner Carpenter Ii
the Case OF Mrs. Smith.
Marks on Body Were Produced by Fall
Down Cellar Steps.

Coroner Job s. Carpenter of Cowesett.
yesterday visited the house OF Capt.
Richard NJ. Smith. near Oakland Beach,
and heard the several stories told by
the neighbors in relation to the death
of Mrs. Smith, who had been found by
her husband last Saturday lying at the
foot OF the cellar stairs of her home
dead, with bruises on her face. Doctors s
Hanaford and Fifield were present at
the examination, and, after careful
investigation of the circumstances, Med
ical Examiner Fifield signed certifi-
cate declaring the death to be from
shock resulting from an accident.
The stories of trouble between the
couple, and the fact that, as the dead
woman has no relatives. her property
goes to her husband, were not deemed
of any Importance, as DR.. Fifield
clearly proved that the marks on the
body of the woman could not have been
made by anybody, but could easily have
been caused by a fall The will made
by the dead woman devising the estate
to her husband could not be found yes
terday. although his Will leaving all 10
her was on hand.
Capt. Smith blames the interference
of Nacquaintances for this. One bank
book with a balance for S173 was found.
but another containing credits, Capt
Smith declares. foN about 1000 Is miss
ing. Ii is believed that there will be
more interesting incidents over the
question of the property.

HE DRANK
LAUDANUM
HOSmer Tried to End His
Life in a Saloon.
RESISTED A PHYSICIAN.
He Finally Submitted and Will
Probably Recover.
MARITAL TROUBLES THE CAUSE.

Fred L. Hosmer, known to the pub
lie by his stage name of Billy Christy,
attempted to commit suicide early last
evening, by taking large dose of laud-
anum. Hosmer had passed the after
noon in the Home saloon on Eddy street
and when he went out told the barten-
der he was going for a gun. Hosmer
returned in a short time. and going into
a recess partly screened from the main
saloon, took bottle from his pocket
and drank the contents.
AS soon as the label on the bottle was
seen. the people in the place prepared
mustard and water as an emetic, but
Hosmer clenched his teeth and resisted
all efforts to save his life. Finally the
ambulance was sent for, and he again
resisted the surgeon, but finally was put
under treatment at the Rhode Island
Hospital. where 1t is said that he will
probably recover.
Hosmer Is a son of A. l.. Hosmer, the
jeweler on North Main street, and he
boarded with his parents at 20 Olney
street, and left the house at o'clock
yesterday to go down town. There he
met some friends, and in their company
passed the afternoon, drinking more or
less. He had no occupation, having
left the Narragansett Hotel, where he
had been employed for a week as a
waiter in the bar, Saturday night He
has at various times been a Jewelry
salesman and member OF Primrose &
Vests Minstrels, where he took the
name of the celebrated minstrel, Billy
Christy. Recently, according to his
statements, he has had troubles, which
are believed to relate to marital COM
plications although his family know
nothing about them.
Hosmer told the people in the saloon
that he had married woman employed
at Taylor's hotel, Jersey City, and that
she was now in this city, and he talked
a great deal about suicide, to which
nobody paid any special attention. Hos
mer drank about one ounce Of the laud-
anum and this being an overdose nat
urally reacted and he will probably re-
cover.
