A FORCIBLE ARGUMENT.
Hennessy and the Police Force—Captain Karber's Nose.
Mr. John Hennessy last evening on Military plaza, was in an argumentative mood. He selected the police force as the point of discussion, offering Captain Karber an hypothesis with his fist on the Captain's nose that caused the claret to flow freely, and leaving that worthy representative of the strong arm of the law in a state of bewilderment. Hennessy was preparing one or two more forcible problems for some more of the force, when his argument was entirely refuted by four officers pouncing on him and giving him a playful tap on his cranium with the butt end of a revolver. This chop logic Hennessy resented, but he had to succumb and was lodged in the bat cave to reconsider his forcible method of reasoning.
John Hennessy was charged with striking H. Karber. The defendant exhibited a hideous appearance. His shirt was soaked in blood and his face was also covered with dried blood. The case was continued.
