The charge under which General
williams was indicted was that OF
felonious assault, a penal offense in
this State. After the instructions to
the jury were fully argued yesterday.
however, the charge was changed TO
simple assault and battery.
The legal matter hinged on the
question OF sufficient provocation. In

was then being tried. he was a damn
liar. At this juncture Judge Will
liams hurled an inkstand at the West

each other. but friends effected d
separation.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
James French Strother expounded the
facts OF law. and clearly differentiated
between felonious assault and simple
assault and battery. The jury was
unanimous in finding a verdict on the
latter charge.
The case has attracted wide atten-
ton In this vicinity. The train ieav-
ing the city this morning was crowd
ed with friends of both parties en-
route to the legal contention.
Very little dissatisfaction in this
city Is expressed regarding the verdict
of the jury.
