The assault was the second of its kind. It was revealed recently that Druggan, who grew rich as a beer runner and brewer, had been at lib- erty many nights and on other occa- sions although supposed to be con- fined as a federal prisoner for vio- lation of a prohibition injunction. Lovering went to the jall and in. sisted on seelng Druggan. When the prisoner was produced he attacked Lovering who was held by Warden beat him, breaking his nose and leaving him covered with blood. Lovering went before the grand jury which indicted Druggan on a charge of assault to kill. Some time ago Druggan assaulted Hilding Johnson, a reporter for the {Herald and Examiner. Guards hur- | ied Druggan away before Johnson lcould take the offensive, Brockmeyer, who explained he held Lovering with the intention of stopping a fight and that he expected jail guards to hold Druggan, ad- mitted Druggan had not been placed in solitary confinement, the usual punishment for an outbreak by a |prisoner. Brockmeyer sald Drug- |zan had sald he was sick this mern- ing. Chlef Justice T. J. Lynch of the criminal court set Druggan's trial on the assault to kill charge for September 21. In a statement the judge said: “It is a shame thas Druggan It certainly is a fine state of irs when a prisoner, while con- fired {n the county jail can strike and beat up a citizen in the jail, Druggan should be placed in solf- tary confinement.” As a result of Druggan's nightly iailers were discharged.
