Walter Picard, who was arrested. in
the city court on Saturday morning,
charged with being.the man. who two
weeks ago Sunday, assaulted Otto
Schcnk of Madison street ‘11 front of
his home. was discharged in the down-
‘town court on Saturday by Judge
. George H. Vosburgh, after it had been
shown that Schenk was the aggressor
and had followed Picard after some
words had passed. g
It was during the trial of Michael
George“ one o! the striking fieshers at

accused of assaulting Schenk,1th_ot it

into this state from another state.
According to the evidence given in
Picard's trial. after George's case was
nolled. Picard and four companions
had been to visit ‘ some friends on
Madison street at a house adjoining
Schenk's.
Schenk and a companion came out,
saw three men standing at the corner
of Madison street and State street and
Schenk said that he thought that the
men were strikers who had come to
watch his house. he being an employc
of the Gabbe-Mole works and also
having several of the men now work:
ing there. rooming with him. ‘
As he passed them Schenk‘said that
he thought he heard the men pass re-
marks about him' being a worker at
the Gabbe-Mole plant and questioned
them about it. .
Schenk Dsrcd Picsrd.
Words followed and Schenk at-
tempted to hit one of the men and
”was struck. The five men left and.
went down to Monroe street and
Schenk. feeling aggrieved at being
struck and daring them to fight him
one at a time, followed them.
Again the scuffle started and
Schenk was finally struck and knock-
ed down by Picard in self defense.
The five men then went away while
Schenk was taken home by Croat and
other people who were attracted by
, the sound of the row. .
One of the five men in Picard's
party. bore a. faint resemblance to
Mike George in height and features.
and it was this resemblance that led
both Croal and Schenk. it is believed
to think that George was one of the
party. g,
All of the men who were in the
fracas and'who were in Picard's par-
ty. are employes at another facory in
this city, and are all non-union men.
.Picard was discharged.
