ACCIDENT OR DESIGN;
Did Mallon Mean to Hug the
Girl, or Was it Only Because
his Foot Slipped?
Miss Mary L. Smith, an in-
i errs ting cherry lipped bra-
iiette, sat in the City Courtroom
in Brooklyn yesterday as the
plaintiff in a suit lor $5,000
damages against Peter Mallon, a
florist of Fulton street, Brook-
lyn, whom she accused of kiss-
ing her across the counter with-
out her consent. She was ac-
companied by her mother, who
is a widow, and a young gentle-
man—her prospective husband,
i.nd her counsel. The complaint
accuses Mallon of putting his
arms about the plaintiff, but
did not add the kissing allega-
tion, which was at first made.
Miss Smith testified that she
entered tin* store in Febinary
and bought it Small bouquet,
site b* ga.i piimirgit on herdress
and Mr. JVla 1..n s.uu was iuw l
down, and sbe asked him to put
it in the right place. Ashe was
Changing the anaugement of the
flowers he leaned over and put
his arms about her, embracing
her. She crossed the street in
agitation, entering Horton’s
suite.
Peter Mallon, a quiet, plain-
laced man, testified to selling
the young lady a bunch oI flow-
ers, lor which she paid ten cents;
He saw her pit n'ug the bouq; e
too low down and said: “Don’t
pin if there, pin if Higher up.”
She asked him to pin it, and
while he was doing so his feet
slipped on a green leaf on the
>\et floor, and he pitched for-
ward over the counter, dhd to
prevent a fall, put his hands on
her shoulders. His two chii-
dien were m the store at the
time. Miss Smith went across
the street and stood at a store
window for some time. Mr.
Mallon swore that the whole
fpisede was an accident, and
that he made no effort either to
kiss or to embrace the young
lady.
Robert Seymour testified that
he remembered seeing Miss
Smith enter Horton’s store,- but
he hotieed no unusual excite

Judge’s charge the jury retired.

And the verdict the foreman re
turned was: “We find no cause

one juror said that the verdict
was a conditional one: that they
disagreed as to costs. They did

costs. The jury was polled,

that the foreman’s verdict be
