THE ENGINEER
ASSAULT CASE.
Priests Assdilant Sent on to
the Grand Jury.
Especial to The Times-Dispatch,,

Especial TO Inc IlIneS-DlSpalCll,l
NORFOLK, VA. June GA. c. Meek
ms was examined in the Police Court
this morning as to the assault on s. d.
Priest of last Thursday. All the Wit
nesses for the defense were excluded
from the court, and S. D. Priest, the
man who had been assaulted was the
chief witness for the prosecution. The
charge was felonious assault.
Mr. Priest testified that he is forty
eight years of age; was born in Newbern,
N. c.. and is q marine engineer at work
for the Old Dominion Steamship Co.
He Is small man, not strong In appear
arce, ana he said lie did not have good
health. because of q chronic affliction,
and he showed his right hand, on winch
several fingers were manned.
He said that he had been accosted on
the evening previous to the attack BY a
gang of association members, who spoke
roughly to him, called him a scab, gave
him the rules to read, and one of them
said he should not go to work for the Old
Dminion boat; that he would be beaten
first
The next morning at o'clock. as he
was going to work, he was accosted by
Meekins and severely beaten. kicked ana
generally roughly handled while down
on the sidewalk. He said he made no
attack, and that the small knife he had
in his hand he was using to pick MS
teeth
He said that the attack began imme-
diately, and that Meekins had advanced
to him as II to shake hands. and struck
before the shaking began.
The physician who attended Priest tes-
tilted that he had been severely beaten
and battered. but not seriously injured.
After several witnesses had been ex-
amined by the defense, Mr.. Meekins was
nut on the stand to make statement.
He denied all of the material points IN
the testimony of Mr.. Priest as to the
fight.
The evidence In the case is conflicting,
except as to the facts that Priest was
met by appointment when he was alone.
and that he got the worst of the fight
between two men of the association at
the time. and that the preponderance OF
the evidence is against him from the
two association witnesses In the court.
AIeekins Is a young, good-looking man.,
much superior in physique to Priest, and
Wood Downing, the other marine engtn-
eer under the same charge, is younger
still and equally strong. There was little
evidence against Downing. The wit
nesses agreed that he did not engage
In the fight except to pull Meekns off
Priest.
Long speeches were delivered by the
attorneys. Captain W. II. White for
the prosecution, commended that there
was n conspiracy to force the non-union
man to leave his Job or be beaten: Hugh
G. Miller, for the defense. contended
that there was nothing more than case
OF assault and battery, In which both
men were hurt. Justice Taylor held
Meekins under ball to appear before the
grand Jury. and the case of Downing
was continued for another hearing.
