She was washing by the pump Tues day morning in the back yard of her \ home when he appeared again and i told hi r that he was the owner and that she would have to move Septem ber first. She told him that she did not know him and asked him what he ' was doing in her yard. He became en raged, she stated, and walking over to the wood pile seized a piece of wood and returning beat her several times over the head and on the left wrist. Her face covered with blood, she ; fell to the ground, but was soon on her feet and off in search of a telephone. When she arrived at the police station she was faint from loss of blood, but able to tell her story in a straightfor ward way. Domiano on being told that he had a right to counsel, retained Harry Clock, who entered ‘a plea of not? guilty. The case was held over until i Friday at one o'clock in the afternoon j and Domiano was released in the cus tody of his lawyer.
