HEW TORK, Nov. 6 Booker T. Wash
ington, the noted negro educator, failed
lo obtain satisfaction at law today for
the beating which he received at the
hands of Henry A. Vlrieh,. a whlto man,
Dn Sunday evening, March 1 last.
I'lrlch' was acquitted In the court of
special sessions this afternoon of the
chargo of assault which Dr. Washington
bad preferred against him.
After the fight, which started In the
vestibule of an apartment house where
Vlrlch lived at 11H East Sixty-third
street. Dr. Washington waa laid up at
,tlie hospital for several days with his
right ear torn, his scalp cut and his face
badly bruised. Provocations which the
defense attempted to show today were
based mainly on the testimony of Ulrich,
who declared he found Dr. Washington
peeking Into the keyhole of his apart
ment and also the one opposite, and that
Dr. Washington struck the first blow.
Mrs. Laura Alvarez, with whom Vlrlch
boarded, swore that when she passed Dr.
Wellington he said to her:
"Hello, sweetheart."
Dilunitor Looking; for Friend.
Dr. Washington's story on the stand
today was the same explanation he of
fered at the time of the altercation. He
wore that he was not peeking Into any
keyholes, that he was only searching the
tenants' directory In an effort to find a
family with which he understood a friend
was Maying and denied positively that
tie hud spoken to Mrs. Alvares or any
other woman.
The acquittal of Vlrlch was not unani
mous, Justice' O'Keefe dissenting from the
opinion of Justices Moss and Zeller. After
Vlrlch left the court he was arrested
again, charged with being a fugitive from
New Jersey, where an lndlcement has
been found chirglng 'him with deserting
his wife, who lives in Orange. ......
Dr. Washington, when asked If he had
any comment to make on the outcome of
his case, replied:
"No, not a word."
Both Tell Stories.
: Both Vlrlch and Dr. Washington told
their stories" on ' the- stand today. " "'
"I first saw Mr. Washington peeking
through tha keyhole of my door," Ulrich
said. "Ha saw me and left and walked
toward Eighth avenue. I saw him walk
ing up and down the street, and after
ten minutes he came back, . walked by
Mr. Kevette's apartment window and
stooped lo look beneath the shade.
"I opened the vestibule door and burst
In upon him 'and shouted: "What are you
doing her?' He struck me In the face
and then we fought. He asked me to
let it drop.
"Dr. Washington said: 'I know I have
dona wrong; let me go." While we were
. fighting he struck his head against a
fire hydrant."
"Did you have any stick or any other
weapon with which you hit Dr. Wash
ington?". "No. sir, I used no stick."
