the mix-up and the three young men
were arrested.
Bell Gadson, negro boy, went into
police station, crying, and said a man
had slapped his face in front of the
building. Patrolman Collins went out
with him and brought all three of the
young men in before the sergeant.
Robert Aldrich, who appeared to have
been drinking, was pointed out by the
boy as the man who had struck him.
Aldrich called the boy liar, and talk
ed very roughly. He was reprimand-
ed by both the sergeant and Patrolman
Collins. He kept on talking, and Pa
trolman Collins again told him to hush.
He then made for Collins.
While they were struggling ]. E. Al
len, one of Oldrich's companions, is
said to have jumped on the officer
from behind. Detective BOstick then
jumped on Allen and pulled him
loose. AS he did so, Collins and Aldrich
fell to the floor. Gordon Delst, the
third of the young men, then started
to get in the game, it is said, but
Deputy Sheriff Seyden, who happened
to be at police headquarters, inter
fered.
Aldrich is charged with being drunk
and disorderly, slapping the boys face,
cursing, resisting and striking an Off

GOODMAN MURDER CASE
TO BE TRIED THIS WEEK.
Judge Twiggs VIII Not Assist State
In Prosecution.

Judge Twiggs VIII Not Assist State
In Prosecution.
Thursday the case against Patrol
man w. c. Goodman, charged with
the murder of officer Zipperer, will be
tried in the Superior Court. This will
be the center of interest in court cir
cles this week, the other cases on the
docket being of minor interest to the
general public.
Judge H. d. D. Twiggs, who was at
first retained by relatives of the dead
officer to assist in the prosecution, has
been notified by the father-in-law of
Mr. Zipperer that he will not be ask
ed to assist in the case. This means
that the prosecution will be conducted
by Solicitor General w. w. Osborne
and the assistant solicitor, Mr.. Dan ].
Charlton. The defense will be con-
Quoted by Judge Samuel B. Adams and
Col. Robert l.. Colding.
In all probability self-defense will be
set up by the prisoner. He will claim
that he thought, when Zipperer reach
ed for his club, that he was going
after his revolver, and that he shot
him because he actually feared that if
he did not he himself would be killed.
The case will be hard fought through
out. AS far as could be learned there
will be no new testimony brought at
the trial, the statements of witnesses
published in the Morning News i'm
media tely after the shooting covering
the entire ground.
