ASSAULT CHARGE AIRED IN COURT George Prior is Alleged to Have Struck Mrs. Helen Brown The case in which George Prior is charged with assault will be con- tinued next Monday, December 20, at 10 o'clock, in police court. Prior is charged with common assault by his sister-in-law, Helen Brown, who says he struck her on the left ear with his fist on the evening of De- cember 1. Evidence of the com- plainant was heard yesterday after- noox by Major Hind in Magistrate's court, She was in the box over one and a half hours, most of the time being used by defense counsel Gor- don "Conant in a grilling ecross-ex- amination. Repeated clashes be- tween Mr. Conant and Joseph Man- gan, counsel for the plaintiff, added zest to the case. It also necessitat- | ed the bench making ings. Helea Brown told of driving her Pontiac coach dow:a to Rypalin on the Kingston Road on the evening of December 1, at the request of her sister, Mrs. George Prior. As they approached Rypalin, they saw Prioir drive his car out into the highway, and drive towards Oshawa. Witness turned her car, and follow- ed his machine to Division street and along Brock street, where he drove into a driveway. Mrs. Prior who has not lived with her hus- band since December 24, 1925, wanted her cheque for the support of herself and baby boy. Witness told of pulling her car up on the wrong side of Brock street, and of Prior walking over to her car, step- ping on the running board and reaching in with his right arm through the half opened window, struck witness on the left ear with his fist. Before he struck her she says he stated with several oaths, "I do not want you following me around, and I want you to mind your own business". This was a- bout 7.15 o'clock. Witness im- mediately drove to the police sta- tion and swore out an 'information against accused. To Mr. Conant in cross examina- tion, Mrs. Brown told of living at 674 Simcoe street south with on | several rul- mother, sister and her sister's son.

She said she never struck Prior that night. Be- fore Prior struck her she told of Mrs Prior shouting, "I want my check," and of Prior's answer, "Try and get it." Then Mrs. Prior told him she needed the money to buy food for the baby. Mrs. Prior had called him when witness stopped the car. Asked if Mrs. Prior had shouted, "I want my check," in a loud voice so as to embarrass Prior, witness said that she did not shout it loud with notice not to trespass on the Rypalia property. This notice was served in November. She denied positively that she had been *"spy- ing" on Prior during the last thrbe or four months, and denied having said one word to Prior before he as- saulted her. She admitted a conviction in po- ville, 'and lived off "means" which she had. She said she was a "grass" widow, having been twice married and twice divorced. She has got the divorces in each case, and could produce both marriage certificates and divorce pajers. She had no children but an adopted daughter: was allowed to go with her first hus- band. "He was a Mason, and well | lice court for using obscene lan- able to keep her, so I let her go with | = age «<n a public highway. That him," she wvxplained. Both hus-' was last Janvary.

There was someoae in the car. with Prior coming up the highway, witness said. Mr. Conant wondered if the loud assertion were made to embar- rass Prior and those with him. Reading statements, the phraseo- logy of which was not so savoury, Mr. Conant asked witness if she had hurled this language at Prior. She denied having done so. Then Magi- strate Hind was told the exact words used by Prior ghen he '"oathed" Mrs. Brown as she termed it.
