THE MATHEW ASSAULT CASE.
TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE.

Jacob s. Mayhew took the stand in in his trial before Justice Blackman testified about meeting Joseph at the ed Theodore to come over and bring him home. After Mayhew reached home, Theodore hitched up his own horse and he rode to Taunton with him, expecting to reach the Gay home in Taunton about the time Joseph re- turned from the train. When they reached the house they knocked and nobody answered. They drove around while and came back. When Theo- dore knocked again, the door was locked in his face. He knocked and out with flat-irOn and struck Theo- dore on the head with it. I immedi. ately put my arm about MT Gays neck to prevent bim from further using the flat-iron, but did not at any time kick or strike him. On the cross ex- animation he said: am law-abiding and peaceful citizen. Gala lives at MT Gays. We had to go to Gays to get Joseph's grip. Theodore went there to see the daughters. I had no feeling of hostility toward. MT Gay ana QlQ not go there to make CrOuDle. He had shown his disposition by con- ing out with the rock-hook the Friday before. My daughter was to return to Bridgeport and wanted to see her before her return. I did not see John Gay when first went there. Theo- dore knocked on the door: It is not so that Theodore struck Gay when the latter opened the door. I did not see Pike strike Theodore. Theodore's testimony corroborated that of his father. He denied striking Gay when he-opened the door. He testified that his father did not kick or strike Gay. Theodore testified he wanted to stay there and talk with Mrs Pike. l did not know was not wanted there. I did not think my mother could mean it. Gay made his threats that he would whip me if I came on to the premises. After argument by the two attorneys, 0. H. Northrop for Mayhew and Judge Beecher for the State, Justice Blackman bound him over to the criminal term of the Su- perior court. Peter s. Hall was ac- cepted las bondsman in the sum of $15O.

A JUDlCIOUS INQUIRY.

A we'll known travelling man who visits the drug trade says he has often heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for cough medicine, wheth- CT it was wanted for child or for an adult, and if for a child they almost invariably recommended Chamber lain $ Cough Remedy. The reason for this is that they know there is no dan ger from it and that it always cures. There is not the least danger in giving it, and for coughs, colds and croup it is unsurpassed.

EASTON,
AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT,

MT Thorn and party of Black Rock, who were enjoying an automobile ride through the western part of the town, last Monday afternoon, met with a bad accident. MT Thorn, wishing to test his machine for hill climbing, de- cided to go up the hill in front of o. B. Osborne's that leads to B. K. Free bOrne'S house. The machine climbed the hill in good shape, but in coming down the brakes failed to work and the chauffeur lost control of the ma- chine, and seeing something must be done, when he reached the sharp turn in the hill he ran the automobile into the bank, completely demolishing one wheel besides badly breaking the machine in many other places. The whole party, which consisted of MT Thorn, the chauffeur and three ladies, were all thrown out, scratching and shaking them up quite badly and one lady had an arm broken. It is mi racle the party did not receive more serious injuries. They were taken to their homes in a carriage.
