"I didn't hit anybody, I'm not very good at it," he added. After he finished the next dance, Lindros said friend Jeif Hardy called him over to the kitchen area and told him "some girl had accused me of spitting beer and elbowing her around." 'A lot of things happen to me where Ican't respond."' Lindros then went to the bar's front entrance te confront Nun- ney and straighten eut the mat- ter.

"A lot of things happen to me where I can't respond " h e said. Admitting he shoul d not have raised the issue ci his salary, Lindros repeatedly denied Grant's charge that it was done te "intirti idate" Nunney. "I w&6e frustrated, she was making allegations,» said Lin- dros. "I suggest to you Mr. Lindros that you said those things te her because it was your last shot at her,» replied Grant. In her closing arguments, Grant said that while Lindros' witnesses aIl swore they did not sec him pour or spit beer at Nunney, none could swear that he did not and ail gave difféerent versions o?~ what transpired.
