Office of Magistrate Pugh, Prospect

hiram Hathaway, Chester lawyer,
and William j. McCarter, an assistant
district attorney, yesterday forsook ora
tory and used their FISTS on each other
with telling effect. The trouble started at
he hearing Of two men charged with
being implicated in robberies in Del
aware county. Hathaway was defending
them, and in summing up paid his re-
spects in uncomplmentary fashion to
the state constabulary, remarking that
"about the only thing they ever did
in this vicinity was to protect the resi-
dence of Governor Sproul.
During his argument Hathaway IS
alleged to have raised his arm in the
direction Of McCarter. The young
evidently thought Hathaway,
who IL about fifty five years OF age,
while McCarter is not yet thirty. was
about to strike him, and grabbed Hatha-
ways arm. A lively mix-up followed
and Hathaway was thrown to the floor.
His eyeglasses were broken and his hat
crushde.
Deputy Sheriff Shaw, Of Norwood,
got mixed up in the affair and grabbing
by the collar ushered him
out of the door of the Office. Hathaway
later returned and emphatically ex-
pressed his opinion to Magistrate Pugh
regarding the manner he had been
treated. Hathaway's clients were held
under $500 bail each for their appear
ance at the next term Of criminal court.
