that Mrs. Singer fell against the barn
door.
H. NJ. Jones was called and testi-
fed that while Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens
were in his office they told him that
Stevens did not strike either OF
them. They wanted a warrant for
Stevens arrest but he refused it on
those grounds.
Other witnesses for the defense
were II. p. Smith, Charles Batzell. d.
d. Phillips, Aliza Bird, Herbert Ak
ers, William Brundage and they all
testified to about the same thing and
corroborated the other witnesses.
In attempting to show the bad rep
utatlon of Mrs. Singer the foregoing
witnesses were recalled to swear on
this point of the defense. They all
testified that Mrs. Amanda Singers
reputation for truth and veracity in
the neighborhood was bad. Mrs. H.
c. Angel and Miss Rose Angel also
testified as to her bad reputation for
truth and veracity.
The court was dismissed at 6 p.
IN. on Monday evening and convened
again on Tuesday morning when the
case was resumed by rebuttal and
character witnesses for the prosecu-
tion. Mrs. Singer and her husband
were again called on the stand to
testify as to the number of trees be-
tween the Stevens house and the
scene of the trouble. They said
there was 29 trees. A. B. Walker
testified there were no trees in the
line of vision between the house and
barn. The other witnesses of the
prosecution to testify to the char
acter of Mrs. Singer gave no i'm
portant evidence and were not resi-
dents of her immediate neighbor-
hood and their testimony was more
damaging than good. After a SUNNI
ing up of the case by both sides,
District Attorney Simons for the
Commonwealth and Attorney Lee
for the defense, the case went to the
jury. The jury was out from 1O:45
to 11:40 and brought in a verdict of
guilty of assault.
The case of the Commonwealth
versus Lewis Kelly and Joseph
hendry was called about 1920
Tuesday morning.
