each occasion the court upheld the OBJ
jectioins of the defense that Long s
alleged association with the woman
was irrelevant and immaterial. 1t was
brought out on cross examination that
Hess and Bowman had both testified
in the divorce case of F. NJ. against
IDez Phillips. The state argued that
it had a right to show the circum-
stances of Longs alleged association
with Eva Lambert as indicating his
state of mind on the morning of Au-
gust % and what he meant when he
is alleged to have told Bowman that
he was telling lies about him and in
terfering with his business"
''As a matter of fact" asked Longs
attorney as a final shot in the cross
examination of Bowman. didn't you
try to make a date with Katharine
Tassel and she hit you in the mouth
and make it bleed?"
The state objected and Judge Lees
announcement that the objection was
sustained was nearly drowned out in
the uproar of laughter.
Plants, who was also charged with
assault and battery, was acquitted
when he was tried last Friday.

CASE UP MONDAY
Police Officer Charged With
Assault and Battery.
Exposure of Associations With
Eva Lambert Fails.

W. p. Long. former lieutenant of
the Topeka police force. was on trial
today before Judge Rad Lee in the
court of Topeka charged with assault
and battery upon NJ NJ Bowman, mer-
chant policeman. The case was con-
tiuued at noon until next Monday.
Attempts by the state to expose al
legged associations of Long with Eva
Lambert, Queen of the Bottoms"
failed this morning. The strenuous
and repeated objections of counsel for
the defense held the trial to the mere
fight at the police station on the morn
ing of August %.
He Deputized Hess.
Bowman, on the witness stand. said
he deputiZed Hess, a youth whom
Longs attorney referred to in his
opening statement as a half baked
idiot to assist him a few nights. He
did this. he said. because he felt that
his life was in danger. Patrolman
Vic Plants arrested Hess, charging him
with carrying concealed weapons.
Bowman accompanied Hess and Plants
to police headquarters, where Lieu
tenant Long. who was asleep in the
police car, was awakened and made
acquainted with the circumstances.
Bowman said Long told him he had
no right to deputize Hess. The lieu
tenant then handed his gun to Plants
and stated to Bowman, in substance.
that he had been telling lies about
him." the merchant policeman said.
Bowman said Long then struck him
on the chin, then clinched him. after
which he struck him again lightly.
Bowman said his gun was then taken
from him and he was locked up. He
claims that after he as put in the
bull pen" he heard Long offer the
jailer 81 if he would let him into the
bull pen" that he might Finish
the -"
Did Not See Fight.
Patrolman William Meagher. who
witnessed the fight, said he did not
see Long strike Bowman until after
he clinched him. Longs attorney re-
peatedly asked Bowman and Meagher
If Long had not urged Bowman to go
back to his beat and not cause any
trouble. Replies to this were in the
negative.
S L. Lashbrook was engaged as spe-
cial prosecutor to assist Paul Edgar,
assistant county attorney. in prosecut-
ing the case. In his opening statement
Longs counsel declared that this was
not really a trial for assault, but IAN

litical dope and to ruin mans char

business when called to the evening

who, with bowed. head was gazing alb
