warrants on which they were arrested.

alias Monk" Eastman, who gave his address as
No. 9S South Third-st.. Williamsburg. and Jo-
seph Brown of No 239 West Thirty-second-s
They were arrested at Forsyth and Rivington
sts.. charged with "atrocious assault and at
tempt to kill" The warrants on which they
were arrested were issued by justice of the
peace of Freehold. the county seat of Mon
mouth County N. j.. and the warrants further
said that the 'atrocious assault and attempt TO
kill' was upon the request of David Lamar"
The arrests grew out of trouble that Mrs.
Lamar lad with James Mcmahon, formerly
coachman for Lamar. on July 9. On that day
Mrs. Lamar was being driven through Long
Branch by Mcmahon. She had lap dog in the
carriage. and the dog suddenly jumped from
the carriage. 1t is said that Mrs. Lamar asked
Mcmahon to stop and get the dog for her. Nc
Mahon replied:
I'm not paid for getting dogs. but for driving
the horses. IL you want the dog, get II your
self"
Mrs. Lamar ordered Mcmahon 10 return i'm
mediately to the Lamar summer home. which he
did. Mrs. Lamar then told her husband of Nc
Mahon's words and. it is alleged, Lamar went
to the stable and gave Mcmahon a beating. and
discharged him
few days after this Mcmahon was set upon
near Lamar's summer home by two on
dark night. He was knocked down. struck in
the face, and received a stab wound in the
breast. He managed to fight on his assaiants,
and was later taken to hospital, where his
wounds were dressed. About two weeks ago
two men came to Police Headquarters and
looked through the rogues' gallery and identi-
fed pictures of Delaney or Eastman, and of
Brown, both of which, Inspector McClusky said,
were in the gallery, as the two men who had
assaulted Mcmahon. Later a warrant, issued
by the justice of the peace at Freehold, was
issued calling for the arrest of these two men,
with the appendix that the crime committed
"at the request OF David Lamar"
Delaney and Brown later were arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Ommen in the Tombs Court.
They were remanded back to Police Headquar-
ters for examination this morning.
