Indictment charging defendant with assault and battery. Before SALUS, JR., J., without a jury. Appeal, No. 220, Oct. T., 1974, from judgment of sentence of Court of Common Pleas, Trial Division, of Philadelphia, Aug. T., 1973, No. 826.

Goldblatt, Assistant District Attorneys, Abraham J. Gafni, Deputy District Attorney, Richard A. Sprague, First Assistant District Attorney, and F.
