Judge Clarke List
ems to Dudley
Complaint.
THE TOWN NEEDS PROTECTION.
This and Kindred Cases
Keep the Town Folk
on Anxious Seat.

Webster, Aug. 5.-The assault case
that was aired before Judge Clarke to-
day is only one more link in the chain
of evidence that goes to show that the
town of Dudley should have better
police protection.
The case today that once more calls
the attention of Dudley people to what
they should do, was two charges of as
sault against James Carney, local
young sport, preferred by Fritz Stein
and Oscar Zumpke. Carney is we'll
known foot ball player. He appeared in
court with his bondsman, Michael Car
ney, his brother, and the Hon. Charles
Haggerty as counsel To both charges
he pleaded not guilty. Lawyer Frank
E. Deon appeared for the government.
The evidence showed that the two
compliments and Fred Ginter were
coming from the D. L. K. hall at 1.3o
o'clock last Sunday morning, when a
young fellow came across the street,
and, stopping them, asked for a cigaret.
He was informed several times that
they did not have any, by the plain
tiffs but it seems that Carney was
looking for blood, and the plaintiffs
testified that he struck them each twice.
Stein still wears black optics. Fred
Ginter was witness for the govern
ment, and he said he recognized Carney
as the assailant
Young Carney was put on the stand
and said that he was there but did not
strike either of the party. He said that
it was some one else, but he did not
know him, nor could he describe him
sufficiently to prove an Identification.
Frank Stockeye testified for the de-
PENDANT.
Judge Clarke in summing up the case
said that the evidence showed that Car
ney was guilty. He fined him SIS on
each count. The case was appealed and
bonds were given by the brother, the
Worcester hearing being set for the
third Monday in August.
