To Face Trial For Slugging Pearson L ; Hi ■ ■ i ] \ T - Pleads Innocent To Hittint) Columnist f WASHINGTON, UP —Lobbyist Charles Patrick Clark pleaded innocent Thursday to a charge of assault oh Drew Pearson, the oftslugged columnist. Judge Andrew Howard of the of Columbia municipal court set Clark's trial for July 3 aftdr attorney George McNeil, an associate in Clark’s law firm, asked two weeks to prepare the case. Clark was released pn his personal bond. McNeil—who referred •|o him as “an honored and respected member of ,• this bar" — reserved the righ|t to ask for a Jury when the cas’e comes to trial. ; Pearson, was not in the courtroom. Attorney William A. Roberts Represented him. Clark had talked freely Wednesday about the onepunch brawl in the lobby of the Slayflower Hotel, but Thursday he to say anything more to ’newsmen about the fisticuffs, ' “I meet things as they come ; along,’’ Clark told a reporter i Wednesday. “We’ll take it in •stride.” t ' ,i ■ ’ Pearson had little to 1 say about the arraignment. “It’s a disagreeable incident,” he said. “The less I say, the tyet*ter.” As in the fracas between Pear■son and Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy ■ R-Wis. 18 months ago, the col’umnist and Clark disagreed over where Pearson got hit. • I i “I let the guy have it right in ;the eye," Clark told newsmen. : But Pearson claimed he caught the first punch op his right cheek and then Clark “swung at nie with, his right which I think I ducked. It just glanced off.” Pearson said his nqck was : swollen.‘ | '“lt hurts,”- he said. « “At least the blows are getting a little higher.” Pearsbn said, referring to his wrangle w-ith McCarthy when he charged that the senator kneed him in the'groin. Peatnson said nis clash with Clark resulted from Sen. Owen Brewster’s defeat in the Maine Republican primary this week. He said Clark had called his office last Friday "and “threatened to get me if I wrote anything about. Sen. Brewster.” ... U-'. ; ' Pearson wrote a column on Brewster the next day. I - , Ih his column, Pearson referred to Clark as a lobbyist for Generalissimo Francisco Franco of Spain. He also wrote about Brewster’s role in getting U.
