V. Pierce Badly Beaten About Face and Head. Harold C. Bellows, proprietor of Bellows Store waa fined $50 In the city court today after pleading guilty to assault and battery on O. V. Pierce a taxi driver on the Jit ney 6 line. The assault occurred last night about 7:30 at the Intersection of South Main and Roberts streets, near the home of Lillian Walsh, an employee in Bellows' store, and with whom the merchant haa been keeping company. Jealousy over the woman Is given as the cause of the attack. Pierce was brutally beaten about the face and head, having had no opportunity to protect or defend himself, and It win take consider able time for him to recover from the terrible beating which he re ceived. Yesterday evening shortly after 7 o'clock the girl completed her work at Bellows store where she has been employed and started home. She procured the car driven by Mr. Pierce. When the Jitney arrived near her home, which is on Thompson street, a short distance off Main, Bellows was waiting at the Intersec tion. As the car stopped he Jerked open the front door and, pushing the girl in the front seat, struck Pierce, and then holding the driver with his head bent over the back of the seat proceeded to batter the taxi driver's face to a pulp. The engine waa still running af ter the car had stopped, and aa Pierce waa forced backward he al lowed the clutch to slip In again, and the car went forward and over the curb. Bellows reached over and switched off the Ignition, It is claimed, and stopped the car on the parking. After the driver had been beaten Into complete helplessness. Bellows bad the driver light the interior of the car so he could find his over coat and hat and started the driver back to town. Dazed and almost un conscious Pierce drove his machine to the Central Garage, where he was helped out and taken to the of fice of Dr. Melvln. The car was a veritable shambles. The rear half was a mass of blood. Bellows' blows smashing upon the driver's bleeding face scattered b'ood In every direction and the car as a sicKeuwg Blgnu ur. meivin, wno uresseu ine wounus, state i mis morning that twelve or fifteen stitches were necessary to close the wounds. The cut on the scslp was about three nches In length and the flesh was u . viuc. "1 don't know what caused him to jump on me. I suppose It would have been the same If it had been any other Jitney driver. He was Just crazy Jealous. I "If It hsd been a fair fight It ; would have been different. If I had had a chance to get out of the car ;and meet him on even ground I' j would have had a show, but I couldn't even protect myself the way It was. The steering wheel was in my way and he waa holding me F I ED FOR back over the seat so I couldn't da fend myself at all. "After he got through beating me he helped get the car back In the road and started me off to town. 'If you ever tell about this I'll look you up and kill you,' he told me. "I waa weak from the loss of so much blood, and daxed by the beat ing, and I don't know how I drora the car down. I guess I wobbled around a good deal, but I didn't go over the curb." . Pierce was badly daxed "when taken out of his blood-covered car, and for a short time would not tell who had caused his condlUon. Deputy Sheriff Ed Singleton was called and when Pierce finally ad mitted who had beaten him, the of. fleer accompanied by a represents, tlve of the News-Review went to Miss Walsh's home, where they found Mr. Bellows. ' ' . The girl had stayed at the car during the tight and had tried to stop the battle, but without results. She went with Bellows to the house, where she promptly went in to hysterics, which were still in progress when the officer arrived. Bellows had washed off some of the blood from his hands and face, and was recounting the event to the ex cited family of the girl. The taxi driver insisted that there had been nothing in his asso ciation with the young woman to occasion any Jealousy on the part of Bellows. Misa Walsh waa ire quently In the habit of taking a Jit ney home after work, and had particular preference, although ah frequently rode in the cars from th stand from which Pierce operated His acquaintance with her, he In slated, was only that of a frequeu. fare and the action was enUrely un justified. - The young wonfan likewise '. In alsts that there was nothing . to arouse Bellows' Jealousy, although she claims that Pierce had offered her a drink. "We went directly home, ' she said, by way of Stephens street to Main and then back into town. When we got out to the interesc- tlon of Stephens and Main he (Pierce) offered me a drink. I re fused, and told him to drive back to town, and we came direct home." Officers who searched the car found no Indications of liquor. either In the machine or on Phrree'a person, and he had no indications about him of having been drinking. ' Harold did not hit me," she de clared. "Harold would not hit a wo man. He didn't hue anything In hi fist either. Harol ! Inst hit him with his hands. Harold got it all wrong, though. Pierce dldnt ' get fresh with me. He might have if I had not told him to drive back to town." "Lillian told me that Pierce had brought her to work," Bellow) said In explaining his part In the-oase, "and I thought he would be a "good man to watch, several times I sent a Jitney up after her and when she told me about Pierce coming after her I figured I had better keep an eye on mm. "I timed them last night and they were gone for an hour and a half. I hadn't expected to cause any trouble. I was Just going to Quit her, but when they came back and I went up to the car Pierce told me 'to get the h out of here.' I loat my head. That was where I made my mistake. 1 Junt got mad and started beating him. He sure is a poor sport a man that can't take the beating he deserves without squealing." r red Gosser was walking towards his home at the time of the affair and was opposite the cars when the fight occurred. "I saw the car on the sidewalk he said, and figured there had been a wreck. I heard a lot of cursing going on and then I heard some body say 'If you say anything about this I'll stick a knife Into you.' " Bellows was taken to the city hall last night and City Recorder Whip ple allowed blm his liberty upon hia own recognizance. This morning Bellows appeared in the city court with his attorney, J. O. Watson, and entered a plea of guilty to the charge, and paid the fine of $G0 which was assessed. The maximum penalty provided by the city chart er In such cases Is $100. Recorder Whipple In sentrnctnf Dellows reprimanded him for the advantage taken of Pierce. "One of the worst features of the 'case Is the fact that you climbed In to this man's car and attacked hlr with an unfair advantage." - tie judge said. "You were lacking K true sportsmanship and the fa. that you gave him no opportunity to defend himself does not spea' well for you. I have had no oppo tunity to Investigate the other slu . of the case, but I am satisfied front what I have seen and hea-d that (Continued on page tlx)
