KING CARLO DISCHARGED.
Evidence DID MOI Show That He Struck
Isaac Green.

King Carlo, leader of the Indians and
cowboys, erstwhile S'tBallyhoo" lecturer
with the Wild West aggregation in connec-
ton with the Bostock shows, and who
had been in durance vile for several weeks,
once more follows the trail of a free
man.
He was discharged by twelve good men
and true, after several hours had been
consumed in hearing testimony, in the
Hastings Court yesterday fternoon. The
charge made by Isaac Green that King
CARO- had damned him the head with
a war-club was not sustained.
Black and unacceptable fate had pursued
Isaac on the eventful night of May the
18th, when Indians and negroes ran
free-for-all rouge ct noir game on Third
and Broad.
IT seems that Isaac was waiting with
calm and discriminating enjoyment for
the performance which took place on the
-.Ballyboo' stage by way of encouraging
the onlookers to become ticket purchasers
when, like a bolt from the clear sky. a
man clad in garments that were variously
described as beaded buckskin. red. blue
and simple Wiid-West costume" fell
upon him and smote him 10 the ground
This fierce assault caused great coIN'ter-
nation in the ranks of the patrons Of the
Baliyhoo, and also so confused Isaac that

that the next lightning flash was followed
by the thunder of King Carlos war-club
coming into contact with the back of his
head.
Thereafter came officer Redford. and
took Isaac to the Station-house. Bomba
Carlo, a brunette Yaqui Indian, who had
found the show business fattening to an
alarming extent went along at Sergeant
Redford's request, to bear Isaac company
The next morning Bomba stood be-
fore His Honor of the White Chamber.
BY Bomba's side stood King Carlo
dressed in full glory of blue corduroy PAN
falcons, With appliqued blue roses and
beaded waist-coat-
No sooner did Isaac's blood-shot eye
light in that gorgeous apparition than he
appealed to Caesar. The result is known
10 all, but still not understood by King
Carlo.

In The melee that followed the arrest of
the Carlo Brothers, the much-admired and
scalp-splitting war-club that, according 10
the testimony, had as many prongs as a
porcupine has quilts, was lost, and SO
Isaac stood before the bar and saw only
the glory that King Carlo had wen on
that day of battles, but the war club he
saw. not. The testimony was to the point
that Isaac Green had bsen struck 4 facI
10 which his ban6aged head bore witness,
and which none dspiored more than the
incarcerated Caro- who came 10 testify
for his brother and stayed under the
protecting influence OF City Sergeant
Claiborne Epps to testify for himself, for
Bomba went out on bail and returned
no more.
King Carlo said he never left the plat
form. and his testimony was backed up
by Mrs Carlo, pretty little Mexican who
sells the tickets at The Wild West Show
The jury thought with Carlo that the
sutfcrinss OF Green were no PROOF that
any enc except BoEaba hit him, and so
