STORY Of The Assault

Patrolman Clifford told Of the arrest
and the assault made upon him by Di
Nardo. Detective Cannon corroborated
him and added that personally he made
Di Nardo give up his hold and twice
drove him out OF the room and upon
the stairs, and Allesandro Durante. a
constable, testified that he saw Di
Nardo i'm the house and told him to get
away from Clifford. In addition Clifford
testified that on the day after the
trouble on Spruce street he met Conn
poletti, who had obtained bail, and
conversed with him concerning the af-
fair. Compolett told him there and
then that he did know Di Nardo and
that Di Nardo was a fool to have come
upstairs as he did Frank Raia testi-
fed that ne had correctly Interpreted

trial.
The defence offered no evidence. but

DINNER PAIL AS A WEAPON.
Ksllshsr Fnsd $40 and Coss fo' Assautlng
0onnslIey In a Saloon

Daniel Kelleher was tried in Judge
Sweetland's court today for an assault
upon Michael Donnelly. Donnelly was
in John McCann's liquor saloon on
Globe street on the 18th instant. A few
minutes before Donnelly entered the
place Kelleher had had trouble with
Mccain and had been put out. Re-
turning, he saw Donnelly and knocked
him down with a diner pail, cutting
Donnelly SO badly that the latter had
TO go to the hospital to have his head
sewed up. While the evidence for the
prosecution was overwhelmingly to the
point that the assault was wholly un-
provoked. the respondent testified that
he and three others were I'm the saloon
playing cards for the drinks. Patrick
Mccain. brother OF John Mccain,
wanted the respondent to set up the
drinks and then TO shake for them.
nelleher refused to do either but he
accepted challenge from Mccain to
play "forty-five" for the house. Kel-
leher won two games and this so en-
ragged Mccain that he seized a base
ball bat and hit Kelleher. The latter.
acting upon his own defense got the
McCann's assistance and then Il wa.
that Kelleher struck Donnelly. Kelle-
her denied point blank that after he
knocked Donnelly down he kicked him,
although three disinterested witnesses
people residing across the street. said
Donnelly kicked savagely after the
blow with the dinner pail had produc-
ed insensibility. All Of these people
swore that Kelleher dragged Donnelly
TO the saloon door and there knocked
him down. and that Donnelly had no
chance 90 defend himself. In the face
OF this positive evidence Kelleher and
his witnesses insisted that Pat Mccain
broke n baseball bat over Kclleher's
head and that Donnelly took one of the
pieces W the bat and assaulted Kelle-
her The httess brother also said that
he saw Dounellv fan but that Dom

Adludged Probably Guilty.

Assistant City Solicitor Greenaugh
argued that the wilfulness Of the re-
spondents was TO be inferred from the
circumstances surrounding them in
this case. Unfortunately no official re-
porter was assigned for duty in THIS
court, but here was the fact that IN
response to the inquiries of their own
counsel. and i'm meeting the cross-eX-
animation by the state. these men had
iterated ad reiterated that they were
together all that afternoon; that they
never took their eyes off each other
and that FancesCo Di Nardo did not
leave them: did not go into the build
ing and did not Obstruct. or In any way
iterfere with Mr. Clifford.
Judge Reuckert said that the re-
spondents must have known from the
preponderance Of the states evidence.
as well as its high character, that they
were swearing falsely and that very
knowledge made it wilfully false swear
ing.
He adjudged them all probably
guilty. bound them over to the grand
jury in $500 each and refused, when re-
quested TO do so. TO diminish the bail.

London, Sept. 22.-The much ex-
pected cabinet council was held today.
beginning at 1890 p. m. The cabinet
ministers were loudly cheered, the sec
retary of state for the colonies, Mr.. Jo-
seph Chamberlain, receiving the hons
share of the applause.
A large crowd assembled about
Downing street early in the day. Pre-
vious 10 the meeting Baron Rothschild
visited the first lord of the treasury
Mr.. A. j. Balfour. The circumstance
is unusual. and is said to be in con-
nection with the money difficulties the
government is encountering regarding
the prospective military campaign.
When the cabinet went into session
no new developments in the Transvaal
situation had transpired. The dis
patches from the Cape continued of a
warlike tone and voiced the indigna-
ton of the British contingent against

The further claim Is made that the

Angelo Compoletti, Nicola Di Nardo.
Gennaro Di Nardo and Michale Terlini
were tried in the Sixth district court
today upon the charge Of perjury, COM
mitted on the 18th instant, when they
appeared before Judge Sweetland and
gave evidence in defence of Fancesco
Ia Nardo. who was being prosecuted
for obstructlng Patrolman Ralph r..
Clifford. when the latter, in pursuit of
his duty. was arresting Compoletti.
who had stabbed Antonio Masso and
the latter's wife, Eugenio.
All these witnesses had sworn that
Fancesco Di Nardo did not enter the
house on Spruce street at the time of
the arrest and that he in no wise inter-
fered with the officer.
As Judge Sweetland sat in the origi-
nal trial, at the conclusion of which he
had adjudged Di Nardo guilty and had
bound him over to the grand jury, he
gave way TO Judge Reuckert when the
time came for hearing the evidence,
but he remained On the bench during
the preliminary talk.
John T.. .Conley appeared for the ac-
cused and opened the proceedings by
moving TO dismiss the complaints.
His contention was that the warrants
did not charge any offense known ID
the law: they did not charge the re-
spondents with perjury. In his opin-
ion the warrants should have stated
expressly just what the perjury con-
sisted of, viz, that the respondents
did, wilfully. maliciously and know
ingly swear falsely TO such and such
a thing, whereas these complaints
averred simply that they did commit
perjury. Moreover the warrants did
not set forth that the false swearing
was upon a material point.
