Hanlon to pay Flannary the 10 cents he owed, when Hanlon said he did not owe him anything. Pickard then knocked Hanlon down and was then told by Flannary to leave the house. Pickard said he would go when he got ready, and then Flannary put his hand 6n Piokard's collar and said, ' You must go now.' Pickard offering resistancei John Flaunary camo to his brother'3 aid.
