Robert Brown, Preston Jones, John George, and Augustus Brown allegedly assault Charles Holiday

After the deponent, a janitor in defendant Jones' apartment building, "pulled out the plug" that defendant Jones was using to "steal electric current" from the landlord, the defendants and two other unidentified men went down to the basement, where defendants Brown and Jones stabbed the deponent "in the left arm and back." Defendant George, in concert with the other unidentified men, then "beat deponent and while he was lying on the floor jumped on him and kicked him."
