Not Man Who Struck
Traynor
DISMISSED BY
JUDGE CHURCHMAN

Paul Mark was srraigned in Mu-
nicipal Court this morning on a
charge Of manslaughter in connec-
ton with the death OF Eugene Tray
nor at Fifth and Lombard streets
early Sunday morning Before any
evidence was heard, Assistant City
Solicitor Malloy informed the court
that several witnesses would testify
that the man under arrest was not the
man whose blow had resulted in
TraynOr's fall and death, and asked
permission 10 enter a nolle proseQui.
The court was not sure that I'm such
a case 1t had any authority TO enter
tain such a plea without having heard
any evidence, and the hearing was
held
Mrs. LILLIAN Spinken testified that
she heard Anna Cloud call Traynor 70
70 downstairs and fight some men
who, she claimed, had called TO her
as she sat at the window Of her room,
When Traynor reached the street, she
said he wanted 10 fight everybody in
sight She said that Traynor and
Anna Cloud struck one man. who
pushed Traynor away from him with
his open hands. causing him TO fall
and strike bis head on the sidewalk
She said when Traynor fell he re.
manned prone. She said Miss Cloud
and some man picked Traynor up and
took him in the house. She was posi-
tive that the man who pushed Traynol
down was not the defendant. but wal
larger and older man, and that th'
only thing this man did was 10 pusi
Traynor away from him in an eviden
attempt to evade a fight.
The testimony OF Anne Cloud wal
much similar. She told, In addition
how Mark had been affected, and how
she bad attended him during the dag
following She also said that MARI
was not the man who pushed Traynoi
down. She was positive OF this, an'
that the man was a much larger maj
than tho defendant
William Smith. Fred Spinken, an'
Robert H. Conley. gave similar tesu
mony regarding the trouble and tina
Mark was not the man who pushe'
TraynOr down
The court decided that there wal
no evidence 20 show any probable
cause for Expecting that Marks ha'
ANYTHING 10 do with the case. He salt
that there was grave cause for doub
as 20 whether or not the mans dealt
was due 20 having been struck OF
that day or not; that all the evidence
in the case seemed 20 show that Tray
nor was the aggressOr; and that tner'
was every evidence 20 show tina
Mark had no connection whateve
with the trouble. He was dismissed
