Description
ASSAULTED BY TWO MEN. John Baum’ein and Companion Say They Were Attacked in State Street. John Baumlein, of 29 Elizabeth street, was in the Police Court this morning to enter a complaint against two men who assaulted him at 1.30 yesterday morning. He says that with two companions he came out of the Columbia Hall and two men, who were standing near the entrance, followed them. After going a short distance Baumlein says he turned and asked the man his reason for following. For an answer one of the fellows struck at him with a club and the other backed him up. Baumlein says both he and his companions were beaten badly and a doctor was called to dress their injuries. He does not know the names of the assailants.
