TRIPLE PLAY IS | New Photo of Third Party Head DESCRIBED IN SIGN ESCAPADE Complaining Witness Says It Was Case of Danielson to Briggs to Henderson Tearing of the A. J. strike sign from the Union Hall on the lower Frankin Street early the morning of July 3 was sort of a triple pla according to a version of t given a jury in U J. F. Mullen’s court by Andy Gibson, complaining wit- ness in the disorderly charge against Ted Danielsen, Frank Handerson and James Briggs as a result of alleged depredation Gibson said he had just come out of the City Cafe and was walk up the street toward the Union Hall when he saw Danielsen jump on a bench in front of the hall, reach up and tear down the sign, p: it to Briggs, who in turn made a sort of delayed pass to Henderson, who tucked part of the sign in his left hand coat pocket and went for the goal line. The goal line and dis- puted touchdown, according to Gib- son, turned out to be the Arctic Club where the trio, he said, went in and when he arrived offered him a glass of beer. In the meantime Gibson had call- ed police, he said, and Officer C. H. MacSpadden responded to the call. Gibson said he felt very badly about the sign being torn down, in reply to inquery by Assistant Prose- cutor George Folta, and said he declined the offer to have a glass of beer with the alleged culprits Bill Pavloff, another witness for the prosecution, said his sleep had been disturbed by the action of re- moving the sign. He had just turned in to his bed in the Union Hall, up- stairs, about 4:15 o'clock that morn- ing, he told the jury, and a few min- utes later was aroused by the com- motion outside. He said he saw Danielsen jump down from the bench and pointed to Frank Hen- derson as another man he had seen with Danielsen and with a part of the sign in his hand. The witness said he knew he had been asleep for a few minutes be- cause he had been dreaming. De- fense Counsel Stabler asked if it was the dream he was relating to the jury and the witness replied “yes,” apparently not understanding the question | Convening this morning, Counsel | Stabler asked the case be dismissed | on grounds it did not constitute dis-' orderly conduct. After a recess in which the points of law were iraced down, Commissioner Mullen over- ruled the demurrer and the case was gotten under way.
