ps , gation Along Different Lines ~ May Become! Necessary —_— Asked several times if there will be any further legal - pro- cedure im the case of Benigno; Roque, who was freed at the pre-} liminary hearing held Monday afternoon before County Judge} Lord, The Citizen asked question of County So- lieiter Allan B. Cleare, Jr. Roque was charged with assault with intent to murder mere Pierce, following a brief argu: ment in a beer garden and sand- wich parlor on the morning of February 1. Roque surrendered later and was placed in jail await- ing the result of the wounds he was charged with inflicting on Pierce. In the meantime Assistant State Attorney J. Lancelot Les- ter in collaboration with County Solicitor Clear and the _ sheriff's office made an investigation of the event» in the case pending the ‘Fevalt. of the. wougds. Pierce, ree) St. ceived. ‘When Pierce was pronounced as being out of danger and was released from the hospital the; date for the: preliminary hearing! was set for Monday afternoon 4{ @'cloek and 11 witnes.es besides the principal were sununoned, At the hearing Monday these} Witnesses were examined but mone of them would testify that a, kenife had been seen in the handg! of Keque and that he inflicted the wounds alleged to have been made! by a knife on the body of Pierce.| There was the question of ag-' gression and the testimony, ex- eept that of the person who was’ stabbed was to the effect that Pierce was the aggressor and! while several admitted having! seen Roque strike Pierce, it was only after the latter had struck Roque. As the evidence was con-! elusive and nothing indicated! that Roque was guilty he was al-! lowed to depart, freed of the; eharge. | However, said Solicitor Cleare! this morning, there was one dis-! Grepaney in the testimony of one witness which made it necessary! | for him to be called befo:e Mr Cleare and explain this — state-! ment made before the county} Judge which was in conflict with that given at the investigation. The explanation, said Mr.} Cleare, wa: one which may make! it necessary for a further investi- gation along different lines, al-| though this has not been fully| decided. | LOSES WEIGHT | EDINBURGH.—Mrs. Edith Rey- ers of this city testified in her breach of promise suit against Robert Gommel that while they were engazed she lost seven pounds in weight.
