 The Lake assault case in the town hall yesterday morning at o'clock drew a crowd of several hundred peo- pie. Justice Henry I. Dayton conduct ed the hearing. The states attorney, Donald T. Warner, prosecuted. Attor- ney John O'Neill was counsel for Bur- ton c. Warner. The hearing began at g o'clock and continued until 4 o'clock with the interruption of but a few min 'utes.
 Justice Dayton in the end found the defendant guilty of breach of the peace and imposed a fine of ST and costs, amounting to about $90. Attorney O'NeiIl appealed under S200 bonds.
 The small fine imposed demonstrated beyound doubt that the state took "a decidedly different view of the case aft ter the testimony had been heard and the defendant expects to be cleared en- tirely.
 Considerable unenviable notoriety has arisen over the affair but the re suit of the hearing will have ten dency to clear all parties concerned from any disagreeable complications The charge of assault with intent to kill faded away like mist. That the case is practically ended as far as the state is concerned is assured.
