A little tale is told about the prose

upon one McTernan. 1t is true story,

he had been attacked, as he alleged.
by William F. Blake. and had had a
quartet of teeth completely dislodged
by blow from the defendants fist;
how he had then been kicked in the
side thrice, and how he had borne it
all without lifting his hands to defend
himself On the face of it up to that
point the narrative sounded like one
of aggravated assault.
Then Harry p. Cross took the wit
ness In hand to cross-examine him.
