Kali With
A Bottle
SUCH IS THE BURDEN OF EVIL
DENCE GIVEN BY THREE WIT
NESS FOR THE PROSECUTION.

A Black and White Bottle played
quite prominent role in the diEtrict
court this morning. But it was an
empty bottle and it was only incident
al in the present instance. Charles F.
Chillingworth, attorney for the de-
fence, introduced the bottle for use IT.
cross examination of witness for the
prosecution i'm the case against Fred
Kiley. The latter was under prelim-
mary examination on a charge of as
sault with a weapon obviously and
imminently dangerous to life, to wit
bottle, and one d. Kali, a police officer
was the alleged victim of Kiley's
poweress.
The case aginst Kiley has been hang
ing fire for some time past but was at
last begun this morning with the de-
PENDANT charged with a mere serious
crime than had originally been prefer
red against him.
Kali. bearing the marks and scars OF
the beating he had received just out
side of Kileys saloon on the night of
July 81, was the first witness. The
witness has been in the Queens Hos
pital during most of the time since the
alleged assault upon him, owing to the
wounds inflicted upon his head. Kali
testified that he had gone into the
saloon on July 81 and had seen the
barkeeper, who is charged by other
| witnesses as being Dink Davis, beat
| ing a Portuguese Norman Braser).
Kali tried to separate thsm and they
went outside of the saloon where XII
ley and the Portuguese began fighting.
| The Portuguese was knocked down
! and the witness stopped over to pick
him up and received blow over the
left eye He thought it was bottle
for he saw Immediately after brok-
en- bottle in the hand of Kiley, who he
thought had hit him. Subsequently
the witness had received a blow on the
head. The witness denied that he had
been intoxicated at the time. He SAID
offers had been made to him While
| he was in the hospital to drop the
prosecution against Kiley; the latter
! had, through his attorney offered to
| pay him for his expenses and trouble.
DR.. West, who had been the resident
physician at the Queens Hospital at
the time of the accident, and had at
/ tended to the injuries of Kali, testified
regarding the nature OF the wound.
The witness said that the cut in the
forehead had probably been caused by
some sharp object, while the blow over
the eve had more likely been caused by
a blow of the fist.
It was on the cross examination of
this witness that Chillingworth sent
out and got an empty bottle of Black
and White to use in illustrating the
questions. Frank Andrade, for the
prosecution, opposed the use of the
bottle, but Chillingworth was permit
ted to use it. 1t was empty. The wit
ness expressed the opinion that had
the blow over the eye been struck with
such a bottle the bone would have been
fractured. There were no fractured
bones on Kali.
Charles Maschke, a Portuguese, was
the next witness, and just about this
time a little "scene" occurred. Chill
lingworth addressed the court to the
effect that he had been informed that
somebody had been listening in the
court room to the testimony and Their
going outside and informing other
witnesses for the prosecution of the
nature of the evidence given. Chill
lingworth was told to produce his in

Chase.
The latter claimed that a native mar
had gone out of the court room after
the other witness had testified. anG
had called Maschke aside and begar
to tell him in native about the testi-
