the head with certain weapon Injurious
to life and the pursuit of happiness, to
wit, a bottle.
Hanlon's eye was surrounded with
purple dado and he told a tale of extreme
ly rough usage. He testified that he was
boarding with defendant and asked him
for his breakfast, whereupon Mccarthy
aspersed his parentage. hit him on the
| head with a bottle, knocked him down
and kicked him in the breast. Hanlon
said, 'IIe gives his boarders a nickel 70
| get breakfast with every five or six days
one day he gave me and two other men
who were working on a ship bottle of
gin for breakfast, and another time he
gave me a lemon
+ us it not a fact that you are an ex-
pugilist?" asked Attorney Henshall
| mo, SIR replied the witness. II am
all old man. One day Mccarthy wanted
me and another man to fight in his back
yard to amuse him, but I refused, for
| am a quiet man, so l am"
Did you call Mccarthy any pet names
when you asked him for breakfast" en-
quired Judge Wilcox
| Il axed him polite like" was the an
swer.
| Il suppose you said, My dear Mr. Nc
Carthy / am badly in need of bodily sus-
| tenance and if you would kindly furnish
| it I shall feel truly obliged remarked
| His Honor.
II axed him very nice" replied Han
Ion. though I didn't use them same
words
Witness j. Mcintyre, who explained
that he didn't love one man in the case
more than another, testified that when
Hanlon asked for something TO eat Nc
Carthy fed him with bottle
Was Hanlon drunk at the timer asked
Attorney Henshall.
NO. replied Mcintyre. He wasn't
drunk; he was just sitting quiet like on
the veranda with bottle of swipes. He'd
take drink and then he'd sing a verse
| to the bottle and then he'd take another
II. l.. Gillette, the male chambermaid
at the boardng-house, said that he heard
Hanion challenge Mccarthy to fight and
saw the two scrapping. He knew moth
ing of the bottle racket.
Mccarthy swore that Hanlon came I'D
| to him and asked him for two bits and
then squared off and struck him in the
chest. He admitted having a bottle in
| his hand but denied that anything but his
| first had struck Hanlon
IL didn't amount to nothing" said
Mccarthy. HE came back and wanted
| 10 tight, so / licked him and then we
shook hands and made up. He was al
ways drunk about the house and smashed
the furniture. I told him before / hit
him to go away as / didn't want to have
no trouble, but he wouldn't listen. I used
to give all my boarders two bits for to
| get breakfast with, but they bowed it in
Tor swipes, so l had to knock off and take
them to restaurant instead"
| Attorney Henshall moved for a dismiss
al on the grounds of insufficient evidence
Judge Wilcox found defendant guilty
and fined him $50 and costs, saying in
conclusions:
You are running a sailors boarding
/ house, Mccarthy, and you must expect
trouble at times. You mustn't take the
law into your own hands, however. IF
you were a smaller man you would not
be eager to accept invitations to fight or
to show others the error of their way"
An appeal was noted.
| Mccarthy WINGED when he heard the
amount, but, remembering that Turk and
Lewis were no longer here to gloat over
MS misfortune, his classic features be-
came a parade ground for a large smile
