Families at Varlance,
The prosecuting police officer said he understood that the two families had been drawn into a general quarrel when a woman on one side struck a boy on the other, and the latter's father, his parental wrath aroused, struck the woman by way of retaliation. A jacket worn by the woman was torn in the process.
The owner of the jacket dis- played the garment in testimony to the officer's statement. That was the signal for the other side to display a second jacket which
