He called me a vile name and
wouldn't take it back and 1 hit
him with a stake" said Arthur
Ludecke in explanation Of the fact
that he is locked up in Moline po-
lice station on charge of assault
with a deadly weapon. John From
gas is the complainant and the
man whom Ludecke hit The hit
ting and alleged vile name calling
occurred yesterday at the Moline
Plow company.
Ludecke says he is a German
alien enemy who has his first cit
iZenship papers; that he has lived
here for Is years and has seen SER
vice in the German navy. He is 81
years old and at present resides
in Rock Island.
Arthur Ludecke, veteran of the
German navy, and now an employee
of the Moline Plow company, paid
s18.25 this morning for the out
burst of temper that led him to
hit a fellow employee with a heavy
stake yesterday. The other man,
George Fromgas, had used foul
language and otherwise had been
abusive, said Ludecke. Evidence
showed that both men had used
clubs. F'romgas, however, has Z
badly swollen face today.
Ludecke had originally been
hcarged with assault with a deadly
weapon. Magistrate Gustafson, aft
er hearing the evidence, changed
the charge to assault and battery.
Earl Robb and James Broadfoot,
the two youths charged with taking
a car from the Moline garage with
