that have more mules than horses. In

The two Johns then clinched. The
first thing Taylor knew he had been
ripped up the back with a knife IN
Green's hand. II took fifteen
stitches 10 sew him together again.
Green was arrested and charged
with sssaulting Taylor. The latter
admitted throwing the brick and
the bottle but insisted that Green
attacked him first.
The other people az the house
declared that Taylor was the first
one TO start something and stated
that he had thrown the brick snd
bottle before Green had done any
thing at all.
Judge Mcmahon decided that
Green had acted in self-defense and
