What did he do then?'
| HE grabbed this little girl Nora, by
| the top of her head and threw her in the
corner. Then he went out into the bar
room and started fighting with man."
Did you cut him with razor?"
| mo, sir--with emphasis.
| did you cut him with anything"
| mo, sir'-with still more emphasis.
II had no weapon at all and used none"
| Nora Smith, slender little wench with
| a languid air and habit of saying
| "eyether' and "nyther," took the stand
| next.
Are you tired, Nora?" said the judge
| pleasantly as she sank into the witness
chair as if it were piled high with pill
| lows.
| NO SIT Sald Nora snapplshly. Il am
not tired at ALL
! oh" said the Judge.
Nora told the same story as that re-
lated by Mollie Rogers. She denied that
Mollie had used razor and swore she
| had seen no weapon at all.
| Rosie Parker. a white woman who talk

II seen this man Sullivan before in the
| evening" said she He was in Joe's
place"
"Ah, may l ask who IS this Joe and
what is his place." said the judge, with
an ignorance that did not appear genu-
| inc.
Rosle explained
He comes in there with lot of fell
lows and lie tells me he was looking for
trouble, so / gets out and goes home.
Then gentleman friend and me goes to
Matt LAWNS to have waltz. These two
ladies' were Waiting in there when we

explained both lawyers to enlighten the
ignorance that seemed to have fallen
well, did he hit her?" questioned Mr.
O'Brien.
Il didn't see" said the witness. "I
didn't stop waltzing. No, didn't see any
weapons of any kind"
May Parker next came to the stand
Her testimony was made up chiefly of Il
says" and "he says" which irritated the
court and brought forth request to use
English trif1e purer. Mays testimony
was that she had been in Joe's place
when Sullivan had come in looking for
trouble and slapped her face.
what are we to understand by look
ing for trouble?'"
Well when a man comes in and SLAMS
a woman's face when he hasn't any
right to. l should say he was looking for
trouble"
When has man right to slap wo-
mans face?' queried Attorney Casey in
pursuit of information.
Yes echoed the judge "when has he
right to slap woman's face? 7 want
to know about that"
The witness admitted that she didn't
tnlnk man had right to. slap wo-
mans face at any time. 1t developed
that she had not witnessed the fight, so
her testimony was stricken out as in
competent. The testimony of John Ros-
ers, who had seen Sullivan Furnishing a
razor earlier in the evening, also was
stricken because he had not seen the
tight. Then came the decision of the
court.
