Eugene Vincent, faced the mayor this
with emotion explained his assault on
Vincent yesterday afternoon.
"He seduced my wife, and tried to
ruin the reputation of my children, I
saw him and my wife standing on the
corner laughing and talking together,
and I couldn't control myself any Ion
ger. l rushed up and hit him. l guess
I'm guilty"
No testimony was offered. Mrs.
Platt appeared in court, with a bruis-
ed eye, where Mrs. Vincent had
planted" "fast one" the first of last
week, but took no notice of her hus-
band or of their three children. She
sat on the chair in the witness row,
and glanced out of the window when
her husband tried to attract her atten-
ton.
Mayor Gives Advice.
you stay away from the woman and
the man, and don't have anything to
do with them ordered the mayor, to
Platt,s and then continued stating he
would take the case under advisement.
Platt was allowed to leave, the mayor
stating that if a fine were assessed,
he would be notified.
The fight at Sixth and Main streets
yesterday afternoon was also respon.
Eugene Vincent for assault and bat
terry on P1att. Both pleaded not guilty,
and their cases were continued until
next Wednesday morning. They were
released on bond of $25 each.
Story Of Fight.
Platt stated he saw the couple stand
ing at the corner when he rushed up
and struck Vincent, seized him, throw
ing the man over brickpile. Platt's
wife then turned on her husband and
scratched his face with her finger
nails, inflicting several gashes and
cuts. The arrival of Officer Vogelsong
stopped the affray.
Vincent claims Platt tried to bite off
his left small finger. He says Mrs.
Platt did not interfere in the fight,
and that he did not strike Platt until
Platt had started the fight.
Vincent's face still bears marks of
his wife's treatment, when it is said
she gave him a beating on North
Eighth street recently.
