PATILLO FINED FOR
 ASSAULT ON FLYNN
CASE GREW OUT OF THE TRouR- LE IN CAPITOL PARK, IN WHICH FLYNN WAS BADLY BEATEN AND LEFT UNCONSCIOUS.

Ed Pattillo, check steward at the Hotel Hillman, was fined s25 by Judge Feagin yesterday on charge of assault on Frank Finn draughtsman for J. B. Carr & Co.

Another witness for Pattillo swears the same thing.

He claims that he did not recover consciousness until he found himself in the office of a physician who set his nose and attended to his other wounds. He was confined to his bed for four days as result of the beating he received
