Con- morning bound over, to the under bonds of $1,000, Felix Pullano, charged with indecent assault on Patsy Ruben, an eight- years-old boy and with simple assault on the little fellow’s mother, Mrs. Con- setti Retonno. The court suspended Juagment on the latter count, despite Pullano’s plea of guilty and ordered the prisoner held for trial for the al- leged offense against the boy. Friends furnished bail and the accused was released after the hearing. Pullano made an earnest plea to the court. protesting his innocense and intimating that he was a victim of a “frame-up” but Justice Condell considered the testimony offered hy the state sufficiently strong to warrant holding the accused. The state's case was built entirely on the stories told by Mrs. Retonno and the boy, and Pullano’s testimgny was unsupported. Pullano, who is thir years old, was taken into custody last night by Deputy Sheriff W. C. Hart and Officer P'hilip Marino. He was locked up for the night, Justice Condell re- fusing to admit him to bail. The arrest was made on complaint of the woman, who made the allega- tion that both offenses were com- mitted Sunday at her home on East street. Pullano was found at the weman's home by the officers, who were advised that he called to apolo- gize for his actions. He vigorously denied the more serious of the charges but admitted that he had car- ried on a flirtation with Mrs. Retonno, to which she seemed most agreeable. In court today Mrs, Retonno testi- fied that on Sunday, Pullano, who was a guest at her home, insisted on hugging her, despite her protests. She claims that although she warned him frequently ne followed her to the woodshed, where ne again tried fto embrace her. She exhibited a scratch on her face which she said was in- flicted in her struggles to escape from Pullano’s clutches. She testi- fled that on the same day the accuscd Tad taken her eight-years-old son, 2 child by her first marriage, into a bedroom and had committed an in- decent assault on him. She had missed the youngster from the kitchen and on investigating found that Pul- lano had enticed him into a bedrooni. The door was locked from the inside when she attempted to enter the room The boy would tell her nothing co cerning the incident, she declare?, until yesterday, when, she said, he ac cused the prisoner of the assault. Little Patsy's version was simil: that of his mother and his testi was of a most damaging cha Pinding probable cause to the tribunal for trial, Justice A. dell this superior court accused brought before a to mony acter. Through Interpreter John Petn 3 Pullano told the court he was guilly of assaulting the woman, but there were extenuating circumstances which he believed made punishment unwa ranted. He stoutly maintained h innocence of the charge made by the boy. For weeks, Pullano explained he ‘nad been in the habit of calling fre- quently at the Retonno home. He visited the house every Sunday for the past month, played cards with the boarders, bought bheer for Mrs. Re- tonno and was treated to drinks by SULPHUR DRIES UP ECZEMA AND STOPS [TCHIN This old time skin healer used just like any cold cream. Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol- | ogist, just common bold-sulphur made into a thick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irritated and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption. The moment it is applied all itehing ceases and after two or three applica. tions the Eczema disappears, leaving the skin cleay and smoot.]l; ) He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold- i sulphur and apply it to the irritated parts the same as you would any cold i cream. For many years common bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position in the practice of dermatology and cutaneous affections by reason of its parasite-de- stroying property. It is not only par: siticidal, but also antipruritic, anti- septic and remarkably healing in all irritable and inflammatory conditions of the skin. While not always effecting a cure it never fails to in- stantly subdue the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often vears later before any ecruption again appears on the skin.

The man with whom she lives, | he declared, is not her ausband, and as she is a widow he believed he was privileged to make love to her if he wished She was most affectionate to him and apparently had no objec- tion to his advances. He frequently hugged her and never heard a pro- test from her. Sunday was no ex- ception to the rule and he told the | court the woman accepted his ca- resses on that day with as much grace as ever, She did not threaten him with arrest and seemingly was per- fectly satisfied. He ventured the opinion that the woman should havs nipped the romance weeks ago, ha:! it been distasteful to Ter. Instead she gave him great encourageme.t and he was beginning to think about joining the ranks of the benedicts when out of a blue sky the officers | dropped on him, Regarding the boy's complaint, Pullano explained that he had known the little felow for a long time, liked him and treated him affectionately =t the house. Sunday he had taken an an extra supply of beer and when he playfully accompanied the boy to the room there was no cause for any criti- cism. He was lying in bed resting when Mrs. Retonno celled for the boy. Justice Condell found probable cause on the indecent assault charge, but suspended judgment on the count of assault preferred by the woman. Grand Juror S. S.
