Bedrukus, the prosecuting witness, testified that he had ridden in a motor car belonging to a friend and thut, following a little trip around tho city, the machine was stopped on lower Twenty-fifth street and he alighted from the car to the curb. Tho Paul-us Paul-us brothers were standing noar und saw him step from the auto. According tu Bedrukus, ono of the brothers mado an insulting rcrtiark, asking him what rlghl ho had to ride lu an automobile. Tho name that the Paulus brothers used In nddrcsslng Bodrukus was a Grecian terra and the interpreter statod that translated translat-ed into English, It meant a "slob" or a "cheap skate." When tho auto passenger resented this roroark, hia two countrymen sot upon him and gave him a severe beating. According to the Paulus brothers, Bedrukus felt so haughty over his automobile ride that, although he had known both of them for several years, he declined to recognize them as ho slopped from tho machine. When thoy spoke to him he replied in such a condescending manner that thoy Justly resented It and the fight for which thoy wcro arrested resulted. The court did not decide between the stories or the witnesses, but will probably render his decision In tho case Monday morning. |
