with Rene NJ. Van Lennep, an art dealer
to complain about the conduct of James
OConnor and Patrick Lynch, BARRIERS. OF
1881 Third avenue.
According to Mr.. Tartoue, he and his
friend Van Lennep were crossing Third
avenue at Fifty seventh street few
hours before, when O'Connor and Lynch
accosted them. The two BARRIERS. said
the artist, pointed at him and demanded
to know his nationality.
Are you French?" he quoted them as
asking.

said he asked in turn.
Mr. Tartoue said his question started
something resembling an argument, and
that the argument resolved itself finally
into a matter of left and right hooks
and labs. At that instant Policeman
Harry Schmidt of the East Fifty-firs
street station hove into view, grabbed
every one and took them around to
court.
Chief Magistrate McAdoo. who Listened
to the stories of all concerned, sent
Lynch and O'Connor TO the Workhouse
