Salvatore Lagana, was the real defendant. the court was told. and the son was thereupon released. Investigation revealed that the elder had been arrested and placed under $300. Judge Herbert J Moffett of Hvattsville, before whom the bail was supplied, was asked by State’s Attorney Alan Bowie to come to this city to iden- tify the proper defendant in order that the trial may be renewed. Attorneys for the defense staied that they had been asked by the sheriff to have the defendant in court, and that because of the fact that both Laganas were known by the name of Louis in Capitol Heights they summoned the younger man by mistake.
