SAYS MO7ORMAN
ASSAULTED HIM
PASSENGER SECURES WARRANT
FOR ARREST
Crowded Condition of Car Makes 1t
impossible to Secure Seat
and Alleged Assault
Follows

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Eddy
issued a complaint yesterday against
John Doe" motorman of an Oak
Knoll car, charging him with battery.
The complaint was sworn to by L. C.
RAIDER, a passenger on the car.
According to the complaint, RAIDER
boarded the car on Also street, near
the Los Angeles Gas company's plant.
He got on at the front end, and owing
to the crowded condition of the car,
stood near the motorman.
The motorman told RAIDER to go in
side and sit down. The number of
persons on the car made it impossible
for him to do so, and he stayed where
he was. He was again told by the
motorman to go inside. He replied. 1t
was impossible for him to do so.
"You go inside or I'll put you off,
the motorman is alleged to have said.
II cannot get inside and 1 won't get
off, RAIDER. said.
The motorman then, while the car
was running at a good rate of speed,
attempted to put the complainant off.
The car was on the bridge spanning
the Los Angeles river and approaching
the Salt Lake railroad crossing. RAIDER
was thrown from the car to the bridge,
the motorman escaping the fall by his
coat tearing. RAIDERS shoulder was in
1ured and bones were broken. The car
was on the railroad crossing before the
motorman took charge of the lever
again.

cause of fraternity.
without these faithful men, he
claimed, interesting themselves in the
