DU THREATS CONSTITUTE
AN ASSAULT? MAYOR ASKS
One Man Threatens to Strike Another
With Hammer; Case in Court.

The question of whether a man is
liable to conviction for assault when
he steps towards another man with
la hammer in his hand and threatens
ito strike him, is being considered by
Mayor Batson today.
l.. Rubenstein brought charges
against NJ. G. Abney. claiming assault
and battery. He said that Abney
started toward him with hammer,
but that he stepped out of the way,
not desiring to let "the neighbors
know of any difficulty" He said Alb
ney threatened to strike him.
Abney admitted this, but said that
he did not strike Rubenstein. The
question then arose in the mind of
the Mayor whether the intent consti-
tuted an assault and battery charge.
He is taking up the matter with City
Attorney Sullivan.
The argument between the two men
arose over the question of an alleyway
having been fenced.
