Attacked With a Butcher Knife

ATTACKED WITH A BUTCHER KNIFE. William McCann, living at 124 Taylor avenue, came home intoxicated yesterday afternoon and immediately proceeded to drive the occupants of the house but into the street. All of the family obeyed his orders and retreated but his son Robert, who refused to go. This enraged the father so that he secured a butcher knife and made several slashes at his son without cutting him. John Tweedy, a neighbor, heard the disturbance and rushed into the McCann domicile to quiet the melee. At the sight of Tweedy McCann ceased hostilities against his son and directed his attention to Tweedy. The result was that Tweedy was badly but not seriously cut on the forehead and cheek by the elder McCann. Tweedy had his wounds dressed at the Cooper Hospital. Officer Harry Miller arrested McCann and locked him up in jail.
