.SLASHED BY RAZOR
USED BY FRIEND"
Injured Man Had to be Helped
Into City Court to
Testify

John Partez, Of Il6 East Second street,
thought Mickele Saleone was his friend but
from the appearance of John, in City
Court today, Mickele had an altogether
different idea. Partez had to be brought to
the courtrps m from the Delaware Hospital
to testify against Saleone, who WAS charg
ed with assault and battery. Partez look
ed like man who had been picked up in
"No Mans land" and il was only with the
assistance of two policemen that he was
able to walk in the courtroom.
According to the testimony the two men
were in q house near Front and King
streets on Saturday night and became
mixed up in some kind Of an argument
They left the house with the intention of
fighting it out with their fists but Partez
said that Mickcle was not in a fistic humor,
he drew razor and started slashing.
From the appearance of the prosecuting
witness in court today il looked as though
Mickee made very good job OF IT. After
Judge Churchman had heard the case he
told the defendant that it was only an
accident that he had not committed
murder. IIe asked Salcone If he could
produce any witnesses to speak oil ms
previous good character and Mickele SAID
he could. The case WAS continued until
tomorrow morning for this purpose. The
prosecuting witness was taken to tho
hospital again after the case.
