HEARING DEVELOPS A FEW SEN,

COMPLAINT FIGURES PROM.
lNENTLY in DIEz TRIAL.

The hearing of Felix Diez, charged
with assaulting Dan OFConnor, a
school boy, with a deadly weapon
held last Friday afternoon, developed
into several sensational surprises ito
the large crowd that turned out to
hear the case.
AIT the hearing held Wednesday of
last week Mez plead not guilty,
asked for jury trial and a postpone
ment of two days in order to give
him time to employ counsel.
AT Fridays hearing the defendant
plead guilty as soon as the case was
called, whereupon the complaining
witness attorney, W. W. Dunbar
asked that the complaint in the case
lie read
Justice of the Peace Collins then
read the complaint, and to the sur
prise of everybody who attended the
pfo.t,Ls hearing the defendant was
charged with plain misdemeanor.
The words, assault with deadly
weapon" did not appear in the new
complaint.
Then the first sensation was
sprung. The complaining witness,
Jack OConnor, stated very forcefully
that When he signed the complaint it
was in blank but that the Justice of
the peace said ne would fill out the
blank in the same words as were
contained in a previous complaint,
nor. and which charged the defend
ant with assault with a deadly
weapon, making the crime a felony.
After investigation it was found
THAT the complaint signed in blank
by MIR. O'COnnor really charged the
defendant with felony, and was the
same complaint to which the prison
er plead not guilty at the hearing
held the previous Wednesday.
AT this juncture Attorney Dunbar
4itook a hand and wanted to know
original complaint in the case, and
just what the court was attempting
to pnll Off by trying to conceal a
felony charge. The attorney alleged
that the complaint as read was not
the complaint to which the prisoner
plead at the previous hearing and he
insisted that the defendant plead to
the original complaint. Whereupon
the ]. P. waxed very angry and stat
ed that he would refuse to listen or
recognize the attorney for the COM
planning witness; that the case was
disposed of and that he would SEN

four o'clock
After a hot parley of words be-

He was followed by the complain

complaint be made charging the de-
fendant with a felony, as the assault
was committed with deadly weapon.
but the ]. P. refused to issue an
other complaint.
Later in the day Mr.. O'Connor
personally inspected the complaint
which was sprung at the trial and
unequivocally stated that the sigma
