ONLY A MTSDENIEANOR SAYS
THE 5USTICE.

Justice J. A. Chambers announced
his decision this morning in the
case against Chief OF Police Newkirk
for assaulting young Biggs, The
Daily Leader reporter. He announced
that Mr.. Newkirk came To him Sat
urday night soon after the alterca-
tion and confessed to the assault:
that the evidence was very much the
same in the trial as was told by
Newkirk Saturday night. and he saw
nothing to Justify the charge OF
felony. but only a misdemeanor. The
justice announced that he imposed a
fine OF $40 on Mr.. Newkirk Saturday
night and would dismiss the felony
warrant He said that a great deal
of evidence had been introduced that
had no bearing on the case; that the
matters between Mr.. Newkirk and
Mr.. Ross. of the Leader, should new
er have entered into the matter, as
ii had nothing to do with the assault
on young Biggs.
LEADER WILL PUBLISH TESTI-
MONY OF BOTH SIDES.
Some complaint has been made
that it was unfair To- publish only a
portion OF the testimony in the case
against MIR. Newkirk. A good deal
of irrelevant matter was testified to,
and the entire record is too long to
publish. but we want to be fair, and
we propose TO publish every word OF
both Mr.. Biggs' evidence and also
Mr.. Newkirk's. In this way the pub
lie will hear both sides, and we leave
them TO judge. We are willing to
publish any portion OF the evidence
that Mr.. Newkirk's counsel desires
to appear in print. The Leader pro-
poses TO be perfectly fair i'm the mat
ter, despite the fact the defendant
has attempted to close her columns
as to certain matter.
We will give Mr. Newkirk's testi-
mony tomorrow. We give below the
testimony of Mr.. Biggs. or as much
as the stenographer can transcribe TO
get i'm today's Leader II we fail to
get the whole of # in. the balance
will follow tomorrow.
