This cast had been remanded for a couple of weeks and the complainant on the stand said that the accused had threatâ€" ened her unless she withdrew the case. When on the stand in his own behalf Barilka claimed that he had not threatâ€" ened the lady but admiitted that he had interviewed her with the idea of having the case withdrawn. "I was willing to pay the doctor‘s bill and any other charges simply to avoid trouble," the accused said. The magistrate said that one way to‘get into serious trouble was to interfere with witnesses or to make threats. The story as told by the complainant was to the effect that the accused had started an argument with her and that she had gotten away from him, but later when she was with some friends in the Star Cafe Barilka had resumed the argument and when she would not answer him he threw the contents of a bottle of "coke" at her, following this up with the bottle itself. The bottle hit her on the head close to the temple and the mark of the bruise made was still visible.

Instead of weakening the staories of witnesses he sought by questions to throw reflecâ€" tions on their characters, the questions having no bearing on the assault. Dr. A. S. Porter gave evidence as to dressâ€" ing the injury to the lady‘s head and agreed with Crown Aitorney S. A.
