TRIED TO PROVE ASSAULT.
Colored Woman Overacted Her Part In
Court Scene.

"Some people who appear in the
police court resort to queer means
in an attempt to convince the judge
that they have been dangerously as
saulted," an attorney remarked to
Washington Star reporter. ''The
judges, however, are up to all the
tricks, and it is seldom, if ever, that
they are fooled" the speaker added.
1.-Two colored women got into a
dispute the other day, and it resulted
in one of them having the other ar
rested on charge of assault, and
when the case was called in the po-
lice court the one who caused the ar
rest of the other, after taking an
oath to tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the TRUTH
declared that the defendant had
struck her on the head.
odd you have a physician in at
tendance? the court asked, noticing
that the witness had her head ban
daged up.
"'No, sir she answered, but ! was
badly hurt
"Let me see the wound the court
asked at this point.
"'There isn't any wound the
woman replied.
"'But why is your head wrapped
upY
81 was struck so hard that Eve
had the headache ever SINCE was the
reply.
"The case was disposed of at this
point by the charge being dismissed
by the judge, who decided that the
facts did not warrant a conviction"
the attorney said, in concluding.
