To BY former United States Senator
Thomas M. Patterson as the result Of
an encounter between the two men
early yesterday, when Senator Patter-

jured
The encounter was the elimination Of

ing on for several years between the

to the details Of the encounter, Patter.
son says Bonfils came up behind him
and said good morning" When he
turned to see who addressed him, SEN
ator Patterson said he was dealt a ter
rife blow which felled him, after which
his assaiIant beat and kicked him be-
fore he could rise Patterson says ne
did not know who had hit him until
alter some men had separated them,
He adds that Bonfils cursed him and
threatened to kin him if Bonfls name
appeared in the News or the Times.
Bonfls says that he and Patterson
met and discussion arose over an al
leped threat of the News to run Bonfls
out Of business or put him in the peni-
tentiary. According TO Bonfils, Patter-
son reiterated the threat and the fight
started. Bonfils admits knocking Pat
terson down, but says he was justified
on account Of Patterson's published AMI
spoken language, Bonhls says that
Patterson was accompanied BY his som
in law. Richard G. Campbell, when the
dispute arose.
Former Senator Patterson IS 20 years
old and AIr. Boniils is about A.
