ESCAPES ON A SERIOUS CHARGE; IS FINED FOR INTOXICATION

The troubles of John Hinegardner and family were aired in Justice F.P. Marvin's court last Tuesday and as a result of somewhat complicated proceedings Hinegardner entered a plea of guilty to a charge of drunkenness and was fined $10 and costs by the justice. The original charge against Hinegardner was filed by his wife and son, Ray, and alleged assault with intent to commit great bodily injury by attacking his wife and son with a razor. Both Mrs. Hinegardner and Ray were cut about the hands with the weapon. However, when the hearing commenced and the plaintiffs testified that they received the cuts in endeavoring to take the razor away from the defendant and not from his attacking them. County Attorney U.M. Reed, who had come up from Brooklyn to attend the hearing, dismissed the case. The charge of intoxication was then filed with the result stated above.
