FINE-IMPOSED ON TWO COUNIS Accused Refused to Answer Attor- | ney’s Questions and Also Showed Contempt For Court’s Orders.—Tax ‘s < Delinquent Settles. While the offense for which he was | arrested was but trivial.in character utter contempt for the court and its officers earned him fines and costs amounting to.over $27 last evening when he appeared before Justice M. O. Ryder to answer to charges of assault and breach of the peace, . a | warrant ‘having been issued for himg¢ on complaint 6f Herman Gross of Hurtford. Guino’s freshness while his hearing was in progress _brought down the wrath of Justice Ryder and besides fining him ‘on the charges' pfessed by the state he gave him a severe reprimand and threatened him. with punishment for ~ contempt of court. After the trial which ‘lasted nearly two hours and which was attended by a large number of people Guino was found ‘guilty and was assessed $5 for breach of the peace and $7 for as- \sault, the costs to be added. The Reéports that a civil suit is con- tegmplated as a sequel to Guino’s ar- rest is said to be responsible ‘for the presence’ in court of Attorney Schwol- ski of Hartford, who was engaged by« Gross to assist Grand Jutor Norton in presenting the case for the state: counsel. Witnesses testified that Gross, who Is a salesman for a bottling .concern, jgot into an argument last Saturday with Guino. The dispute was over some bottles delivered to Russell's sa- loons, where the accused is employed as bartender. The talkfest waxed warm for some time and according to Gross it finished in the vard when Guino struck him, knocking him to the ground. Thomas G. Russell and Ernest Morgan were called as witnesses for the defense but they had lttle testi- mony to offer, having seen only a part of the row. Guino was inclined to place all the blame on Gross and ' he told the court that all he did was to push him out of his way. Attarney Schwolski attempted to question the accused but for a time met with little success, Guino flatly refusing to answer several of his queries. He made sarcastic references to the attorney and the latter finally had to appeal to the court to force him to conduct himself properly. Guino ~also refused to answer ques- tions after being ordered to do so by the court and had to be threatened with punishment for contempt before he would make proper replies. There was sconsiderable interest in the case and the giourt room was crowded when the accused was put to plea. While the hearing was in progress disturbances were® caused by some of the spectators and it was necessary for Justice Ryder to order one of them from the court room. When he refused to move Constable Downing was called on to forcibly eject him.

Attorneys for both the state and the defendants spent several hours quoting ‘decisions in other cases and attempting to prove to Judge Malone either the guilt or innocence of the accused. Attorneys for the liquor men set up the claim that the goods were actual- Iy sold and paid for in either Plain- Ville or Terryville, and the teamster in making the delivery in Bristol was acting as agent of the individual who made the purchase instead of the sa- loonkeepers. The state contended that the liquor dealers were attempt- ing to evade the law on technicalities and were responsible for the acts of their teamsters. The delivery of the goods, they claimed, constituted the actual sale, and for that reason the dealers were guilty under thé law. It was said that a decision might not be given before night at the ear- liest. In the event of a conviction an appeal to the superior court is expect- ed. Brief Items.
