Karl Won Weddel, who is said to be a
clerk in one of the departments in wash
ington. was brought before the Mayor
this morning, charged with an attack
upon young man named Lee Gorham
several days ago, which resulted in an
operation at the hospital by which the
injured mans left eye was removed, the
pupil of the eye having been split open
by blow. Won Weddel and Gorham
were passengers on south-bound Wash
inoton-Southern train which had stopped
on the confines of the city. According
to the evidence, previous to the stoppage
of the train Won Weddel had been an
moved by the hilarious conduct ofGorham,
and, at Won WeddePs instance, German
was placed in the smoking car by the
conductor. After the train stopped Won
Weddel left it, procured some cigars,
and upon his return entered the car into
which German had been placed. The
two men became involved in war of
words which eliminated in ugly epithets
being used by both parties. At this
juncture Won Weddel struck German
violent blow in the eye, with the result
given above, the organ being split open,
presumably by ring on the assailants
finger. After hearing all the evidence,
the Mayor imposed fine of 500. Mr..
Charles Bendheim was Won WeddePs

hausted itself At the Pennsylvania
