WO hosts met in gory -conflict Monday night in Union Square, and not satisfied with the arbitra- ment of battlc the principals on one side will carry the case into court. Dr. George T. Braly and Dr. George M. Chase are the complainants, and they charge Willlam McNevin, Harry McNevin, John Doe Kenny and John Doe with battery. Brady and Chase say they were led into & trap, ambushed and trampled un- der foot by an firregular force, composed of at least twenty men. The McNevins say the retainers fought under the other | banner, and that they themselves waded ‘lhrough a hollow square before they | reached the oculist and the dentist. Dr. Brady says he fought three men to but when he found he was a score he decided it | was not the part of valor to stand still any longer, and so discreetly took to his heels. The McNevin version is that he beat the starter's flag and sprinted down Stockton street like a 100-to-1 shot trying to win a race in the first quarter. They say he ran so fast that he fell down. The oculist admits that he ran, but says ¢ was only going after his gun and forty rounds of ammunition. When he returned the armies had dispersed. “They came at us out of the bushes on all sides, like Indians from ambush,” Dr. Chase, the dentis*, says. -“‘After Dr. | Brady got away they all attacked me. 3 was knocked down and kicked about !like a football. They were thick all zround me.

THE YOUNG WOMAN AND THE DENTIST WHOSE WOOING LED: TO A FEUD WITH FOOTBALL PLAYER'S BROTHER AND A PITCHED i S -3 G with a club,” William McNevin, brother to the football player, says. “You can fecl the hole there on top. Oh, maybe I wasn't right there with the g8ods. T wasn't looking for trouble, but they can't talk about you, Gertie. 1 would have died right there to protect your good rame." Tale of Love and War. Gertle is the fair Helen of this Troy square. She {s Mrs. Gerirude Piper, or, as she chooses now to be known, Miss Gertrude Afken. That was her name be- fore she married Fred Piper of Piper will husband agreed that she should take half of his inheritance of $100,000 and with a divorce decree go her separate way. Dr. Brady, whose patient Gertrude's_mother had been, became a suitor and was looked upon with faver until young McNevin en- tered the lists. Presently =Gertrude scarcely knew her own mind. Then trouble began. McNevin says that Brady and his bosom friend, Dr. Chase, spread tales about Mrs. Piper. Brady and Chase say that McNevin talked flippantly about the young woman. Both McNevin and Brady denied to her that they had sald the things alleged. Finally Dr. Brady told Mrs. Piper that McNevin had told him in Dr. Chase’s presence that he was going with her only -for the money there was in it and had flashed a diamond ring g; hers and sald he ‘‘could soak it for tyr Mrs. Piper repeated this to McNevin. He hotly denied it and sald he would. tell them in her presence that they had lied. That was Monday afternvon. She at once telephoned to Dr. Brady and askedsif he could see them at his office. Finally it was agreed that he should meet them in the square at 10 o'clock. He said he would bring Dr. Chase along. McNevin at once decided that he needed the moral sup- port of his brother Harry, who is well iitted for a stunt of that sort by reason of a long experience in the Olympic and Reliance .football teams. So the armies began to be recrujted. Man may never know how many fought or ‘the full list of casualties. It is suspected that the foot- ball player did all the‘damage. Dr. Brady has a lovely black eye. Dr. Chase lost a tooth and acquired a black eye and some bruises, not many, however, for a man who was trampled underfoot by a horde of Goths and Vandals. Then there is the hole in McNevin's head. The man that Chase licked, the three that Brady en- gaged and.the bunch through which Mc- Nevin fought his way have not yet given an inventory of their wounds. .

From the moment of the sus- pect’s arrival it was evident that if prop- erly handled he would be willing to di-| vuige the entire story of the acts of the murderous gang of thieves who occupied the ‘Turk-street flat, and to whom the death of Policeman Robinson was due. As far as the actual killing was concerned the case was fairly conclusive against the four men now in the tanks on suspicion of being connected with the murder, and “Kid” Goucher and “Brownie,” who are still at large, but the desire of the police was to_get the names of the men who disposed of the plunder which was the re- sult of the thieving operations of the | 014, pure and nutritious.

It is not claimed that either of these was privy to the murder, but in addition to acting as fences, they sheltered all of the gang after the crime was committed except Henderson, who was so badly wounded that he could not.escape, and fell into the hands of the police near the scene of the shooting. Kaufman claims he was not with the gang at the time Robinson was shot, but he was informed of the facts early that morning, and at once got under cover. He remained hidden with Woods, who was shot twice by Robinson, and he told where they were sheltered and who aided :nfilm tob eglcx%e im:rth.
