I fired a milk bottle at the dog. Just as I did so Mrs. Corbett, who was on the front porch, screamed, and Corbett came running out from the yard, where he had been working over his automobile. The next thing I knew he reached up and landed on my mouth. I was knocked out, and when I came to Corbett was back hammering away at his automobile as if nothing had happened.”Corbett denies striking the milkman. Mrs. Corbett also declares that Jim never touched him. The case was postponed until next Saturday.
