BADLY THRASHED
TROUBLE ARISES OVER REAL
ESTATE DEAL
BEATEN LlTIGANT USES WHIP
Charles w. Stewart Is Attacked by
j. s. Barrett, Who Accuses Him
Of Having Committed
Perjury

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, April 27.-Charles w.
Stewart, local real estate dealer, was
horsewhipped here about noon today
by ]. S. Barrett, a contractor. The
trouble arose from a law suit over a
real estate deal. Some time ago George
Niebel listed three lots with Stewart
with the understanding that If he
could not secure title, all contracts for
sale would be void. Stewart sold a
lot to Barrett for $500 and received $50
to bind the bargin. Nlebel could not
secure title and declared the sale off
Barrett says Stewart told him that
Niebel had been given the $40 and had
given a receipt for It, whereupon. Bar
rett sued Niebel for $500. on the wit
ness stand Stewart denied that he had
Niebel's receipt, but swore that he had
the $50. that he rendered it to Barrett
when the deal was off and that Barrett
refused to accept 1t. on this evil
dence Barrett lost the case and had to
pay the costs.
This morning Stewart received tele-
phone request from Barrett to pay him
his $50 and Stewart drawing the
money from the bank, went to Barrett's
office in the BiXby block.
Stewards version of what happened
is as follows: II entered the office and
met Mr. Barrett. to whom | rendered
the money. He went into his private
office, wrote a receipt and, after hand
ing it to me, reached over to his safe
and, seizing a new blacksnake whip
began to lash me. | cried for help and
Barrett's son rushed in and grasping
me by the neck held me against the
safe while his father continued to lash
me. They desisted only when people
began to pound OH the doors"
Stewards cries attracted a crowd of
people who saw Stewart stagger out
evidently in great pain. Barrett de-
clared that he mad whipped Stewart
and that he deserved it. HE deliber-
ately periured himself at the trial and
beat me out of my money, and any
one who does that will suffer- declared
the whipper. II prepared myself for
him and when he came to pay over
the $40 gave him receipt and then
horsewhipped him. I expect to be ar
rested. pay my fine and then things
will be evened up
A doctor examined Stewart and
found that his legs from the hips down
were welted and lacerated by the whip.
Barrett is much larger than the real
estate man and indignation runs high
against him. Stewart swore out a
warrant charging Barrett with assault
this afternoon. The contractor as ar
rested and gave bail.
