FINED FOR ASSAULT
JOHN HALL BEFORE MAYOR EVAN G. BOYD LAST EVENING
New Castel, April 28. --- At the request of Mayor Evan G. Boyd, John Hall, colored, contributed $3.20 to the finances of the city last evening.
John was charged with committing an assault and battery upon Joseph Hood, also colored, the trouble originating because Hood had struck one of Hall’s children. When Hall arrived home from work, he was told of the occurrence, and at once proceeded to administer punishment to Hood. The latter claimed that Hall cut him on the neck, but as no weapon was found upon him when Officer Matthew Tobin took him custody, the charge could not be sustained.
