PMi'S MRS DED.1TE Oil CASE Flntlly Find New Castle Man Xfcs Only Guilty of Assault and Battery on Marshal Dan Drischcl. JAIL SENTENCE AND DOLLAR FINE GIVEN Point Made by Defense that Parton Did Not Know He Was Attacking Officer Sustained by Judge. A wld diversity of opinion prevailed among the Jurors, when they retired about three o'clock on Monday afternoon to decide on the fate of At Parton. of New Caatle. charged 'with asssult and battery with Intent to murder Marshal Drlschel or Cambridge City, on October 1. After eighteen hours of deliberation the Jury agreed and found Parton guilty of aaaault and battery, Imposed a fine of a dollar and costs and sent him to Jail for sixty days. The man wss found Innocent of all Intent to commit murder, largely because of the client's Instructions. Owing to the character of the trouble and the evidence Introduced, the case was In some regards a remarkable one, and made Judge Fox's Instructions interesting. Drlachel, the prosecuting witness In the case, claimed that Parton attempted to murder htm without any provocation. Parton went on the stand and said that he thought he was being attacked by Drlachel without cause, lie said he did not know Drlachel was an officer, so resisted, and felt the touch of the marshal's Jimmy. Alleged Self -Defense. Acting upon the Impulse of self-protection Parton admitted pulling out his pocket knife and slicing Drlschel's face and neck much the same as a cook does a beefsteak, when preparing It for Its dip Into the skillet. "When a person has no full inform a-t-n r t9 why lie la arrested; the prJ UiTI tsreisictt rrtoe mmt etftnse when protecting himself from an offlcer whom be does not know at sack.' Judge Fox declared, in proving Parton Innocent of any, Intent that Drlachel did not have on a uniform, a helmet, a visible badge or any other Instate of an officer,, nor did he tell Parts that he was under arrest or la gay way Indicate what was his purpose In accosting him, except to tell the man that he wanted him to "come along with him." Parton was arrested while intoxicated, Judge Fox said In hla Instructions to tan Jury, "mere Intoxication, as such, does not excuse , criminal conduet" Drlachel denied ever ' having told W. A. Bond and H. H. Evans, Parton'a attorneys, that he exceeded his au thority In arresting the man as they Implied he had la their cross-examination of the marshal. The two attor neys were the closing witnesses for the defense and they quickly gave test Imony for the purpose of admitting Drlachel Into the Ananias club. Parton who on the stand directly accused the custodian of the knife with which he eat DrischeL with having whetted It to snake It aharp aa a raaor whereas when he used It he was In habit of whittling brass and other soft ma terials. .

AHEAD OF TIMES " .;, r CODE CONSIDERED BY CITY COUIICIL And the Building Ordinance of the Commercial Club Is Sent Back to Organization for Many Changes. PET ORDINANCE OF POLICE CHIEF READ It Regulates Traffic, Com- ' pelling Vehicles to Keep on the Right Side of StreetsOther Actions. Richmond is too small for a build ing code ordinance such as was suggested to council by the Commercial club. This decision was reached by council at its meeting last night, when the bill was referred back to the building committee of the Commercial club for changes, which the committee re quested to be allowed to make. Councllmen Burdsall and Kauffman were appointed to confer with the commit tee in changing the ordinance. Both men are practical builders. After the Commercial club commit tee has made its alterations in the or dinance, council will come together in a meeting of the whole when the code will again be presented. The opinion is. that about half of the provisions in the ordinance will be eliminated. Councilmen say the ordinance is a fine thing, but several years ahead of Richmond. It Is stated It handicaps the working men who desire to build a small house. . This code regulates the building of every structure to be erected within the city, limits. There Is a probability that it will be made to regulate all structures within the fire limits. A Police Ordinance. The "right and left" ordinance, a pet measure of Superintendent Gotmon, of - the police department, was introduced last night and read for the first tithe. The new ordinance pro vides that, "it is unlawful to drive on. over or along the middle or left side of any street, except in necessary act of crossing the same or of passing any driver -orridar oiiig Jn. the same direction; and all such riders and driv ers shall keep as nearly as practical to the right of such street . . ... When overtaken by any other driver the vehical shall keep to the right, allowing such rider or driver to pass him to the left." - For violation of the ordinance fines from $1 to $50 are provided. Two ordinances were passed by the city fathers, one appropriating $100 for the use of the Richmond Art associa tion' and the other transferring . the sum of $500 from the account of repairs at . the municipal electric light ing plant to the account of wire, meters and sundry equipment The railroad committee reported that the street car company had promised to repair Its tracks and cars, where they were reported in, bad condition. 7 The company in , addition promised to rebuild the Falrvjew line next summer.

LHUII1LLII UHLLU A WRECK VICTIM GETS THE BLAME Pilot of First Engine of Passenger Train Wrecked Here Last Week Held Re- . sponsible for Smash. REPORT OF CORONER MADE PUBLIC TODAY Railroad Signal Officer Testifies that Red Light Was Set to Warn No. 27 of the Freight Train. Blame for the wreck in which he lost his life is placed on D. K. Bales of Xenla, O., who was the engineer on the pilot engine, of Pennsylvania passenger . train No. 27, which crashed into a freight near Glen Miller park last Thursday morning. This respon sibility is , placed by Coroner A. J. Bramkamp, who concluded his official investigation of the wreck today at noon. Coroner- Bramkamp found from examining 'a score of witnesses that beyond a doubt a- red signal was set when Bales ran his train into the freight. The evidence is conclusive on that point. Superintendent of Signals Walter Hallstein of the Pennsylvania lines. who is assistant to Train Dispatcher J, E. Foley, testified that he had ex atnlned ' the telegraph station from where the block would have been set. and found that the levers were set for a red block and that the red block was shining when he arrived on the scene. He stated it would have been impossible ' to move the signal after the ' wreck on account of the Interlocking set of levers used for sig nals at the block house. A Peculiar Incident. Another, important bit of testimony furnished by Hallstein was that a .large piece or runpisn rrom tne wreck fell over the wire controlling the red block.''. This weight held it justas it was when the .wreck occurred, 'Mr. Hallstein said it would have been Im trassible foir the b'eck to have been thrown by the falling weight of the wire. The red block was set almost tlieentire day of the' wreck. A number, of' yard men and an en gineer and fireman on an engine near the ' wreck, testified that there was - a red block hanging when the train ran through to destruction. There was some smoke and steam but this would not have prevented the engineer front seeing the block. The testimony of J. B... Smith, fire man on the pilot engine of No. 27. shows that just after the red block had been passed the engineer called to him to know whether it was a red or white block. Smith testified that from his side of. the engine he could not see. He said there was considerable steam and smoke which dimmed the signals. It was possible - to see the signal however, he testified. No responsibility is placed on any other member of the train crews or on the railroad system, by the Investigation of Dr. Bramkanp. MAYOR GIVES PROOF Uses Fire Department ; Convince Gregg. to To prove that he was right in contending that it would be impossible to properly protect the Hoosier Store building in case of fire, with a long shed over , the west sidewalk, Mayor Zimmerman took the fire department there late yesterday afternoon and "showed 'em." A. W. Gregg compromised with the board and has agreed to build a shed 16 feet long. The agreement was satisfactory to both the board and Mr. Gregg.
