For nearly two hours the lecturer and theological student stood in the unsavory line of prisoners await ing examination. Both bore traces' of the savage fight they had in the semi nary late on- Saturday night and in, wich Howe is said to have been the aggressor. At last, after hearing the case, Magistrate Cornell discharged Atkinson and held Howe in $1,000 bail i for the Grand Jury. The , testimony showed that Howe, who boards with a Mrs. Koehler at 233 West Fourteenth street, called at At kinson's room on the top floor of the semina'xy and without preliminary words assaulted Atkinson. The latter said that he was prepare for an at tempt to assault him because Howe had made threats to that efTect. Atkinson's story was that while he was at work he heard a rap at his study door. There was some fumbling at the knob and he sprang up to open the door, thinking that some of the men at thi seminary were playing pranks. Opening- the door he found Howe white-faced, wild eyed, and Atkinson said, intoxicated. "Howe shoved his hand into the front of his coat Atkinson testified; " and I ; satdta myself eot . revolver, sure' ; ahd dived or Ibhtii I hit him a .blow and-then caught-him.

IJ.owe .'would only say that he went to Atkin son's room to demand an explanation of an affront which he asserted t-.t Atkinson had ottered Mrs; Koehler. Howe admitted that lie had been drink ing. The bludgeon Atkinson referred to was tenpound cast iron furnace shaker belonging to the furnace of the seminary. ' "I thought you were all a lot of lit .tle lambs down. there," remarked Mag istrate Cornell. "No-o, not exactly," said Cook. Before being taken to court prison Howe said that Atkinson had violated his confidence. "On Christmas . Day he accepted my hospitality and afterwards affronted my landlady," Howe 'said. "He per sisted in payingattention to a young marled woman after I had warned him not to do so. He has letters that re flect upon me and has turned, people against me. I went to room to force him to apologize to-yme and to promise not to contiue his disagree able actions.
