The case this morning was pro ductive of numerous lively tilts be tween Attorney Peden for the prosecution and Attorney Green for the de fense, and the testimony presented up on the vital points was so conflicting as to confuse the court and spectators as well. The policemen averred that the trouble arose when they entered the saloon the day after having arrested Chorek's cousin on a disorderly charge, when they were set upon by Chorek and his bartender. They allege that saloonkeeper attempted to use a revolver on them and that the injuries he received were the result of his attempts to shoot them.
