says that when he reached the corner Of
Third and Delaware streets he discovered
that White had been assaulted. White
was then lying on the. ground. and his al
legged a.sallants were standing off from
him. White requested to be- assisted to
his homo saying at the same time that he
would take legal measures to punish his
assailants the next day When they reach
cd Bridgswater's corner White put his
hand to his head and when he took 1t
down 1t was covered with blood.
That WAS the first intlmation they had
that Whites head had been cut Some
persons had bsen unchari5abls enough. to
accuse the officer OF showing paitiality
and therefore he requests the contradic-
tion to be made.
