 After a general melee lasting about ten minutes the assailant of the con- ductor was conquered and the car pro- ceeded on it's way. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of the man and it is quite likely that the arrest will occur to-day.

GOT OFF EASY
Dick Kidder Sentenced to 6
months in Jail and $25 Fine.

Charge of Malicious Assault Waived
Confessed to Unlawful Assault-His
Wife wrote letters Asking Clemeney
--Geo. Baker Fined $25 for Assault
ing Harry Lackey.
Richard Kidder, who was indicted
by the grand jury for malicious as
sault on his wife, Ella Kidder, on the
evening of July 3, 1908, and who has
been In the county Jail since. was
brought before Judge Mason Wednes-
day to answer the indictment,
The prosecuting attorney waived
the charge OF malicious assault, and
Kidder by his attorney, VIM. t..
Glasscock, plead guilty Of unlawful
assault. This took the crime out of
the felony class and made it INSIDE
meanor. Judge Mason sentenced
him to pay fine of $25 and to remain
in the county jail six months.
People who remember the attack
Kidder made on bis wife, slashing her
throat and breast with razor, and
drawing it across her arms and fingers
as she hung from the sill, will be sur
prised at the seeming leniency Of The
sentence. The public feeling on the
morning OF the crime, however, was
that Kidder should at 1east have a
long term in the penitentiary.
Extenuating circumstances, which
were never made public, caused the
prosecuting attorney to waive the fell
ony charge. Since the crime was
committed, Ella Kidder, though not
living with her husband, wrote two
letters, one 10 the judge aud the other
to the prosecuting attorney, asking
that her husband be sent to jail for
the crime, and not to the penitentiary.
She would refuse to appear against
him on the felony charge.
Furthermore, it is stated that the
women's reputation for loose virtue
had something TO do with the States
ienlency. It also alleged that there
was man in the room, or in the adj
joining room on the night her hus-
band made the attack. Kldder IS OF
good family and we'll connected it Is
said. He is a brother Of the man
who had the first street paving con-
tract in Morgantown.
Geo. Baker, who was indicted for
assaulting Harry Lackey, non-union
glass worker, appeared in court this
morning. He confessed to the charge,
and at Judge Masou's request made a
statement Of the attack. He denied
having any weapon of any kind. Lack
ey said that Baker approached him as
he was on his way te work and asked
him where he was going. He answer
ed ITO work. :" Baker replied, "Well
you are going for the last time, and
struck him above the eye. Lackey
thought Baker had used weapon.
Judge Mason gave the prisoner
good lecture on the necessity of obey
in the laws and fined him $25 and
costs. lie was represented by Donley
and Hatfield.

Mrs. Soffel was not present when the
case opened nor was any deposition
from her presented in evidence. No
witnesses were offered by the defense
The Soffel divorce case is the result
of the escape from the Allegheny
county jail on Jan 30, 1901, of John
and Edward Biddle, who were confined
there awaiting execution for the muir
der of Grocer Edward Kahney, of Mt
Washington. Kate Soffel was the wife
of the warden of the institution, and
it was only through her completely
that the freedom of the condemned
men was made possible, Mrs. Soffel
going with them in their flight, which
ended summarily less than a week
later, when the murderers were both
shot to death in a running fight with
Pittsburg and Butler officers in Butler
county. In the fight Mrs. Soffel was
sorely wounded, although it has never
been proved whether she was shot by
a detective, by Ed Biddle, of whom
she was said to be enamored, or by
herself She was sent to the Butler
county hospital, and after her recov-
cry was brought here, given speedy
trial, found guilty of assisting the Bid
dies to escape, and sentenced to two
years Imprisonment in the Western
penitentfary, where she has been since
confined.
