This was partially cov- ered by insurance. Library Reports, Mrs, T. B.

WANTED JUDGMENT SUSPENDED | Italians Quarrel in Factory and Are Taken to Lock-up—Prosecutor Says Case Should Not Have Been Brought Into Court—Brief Items. Believing that the accused had been arrested as the result of hasty action on the part of other officials and that the case was too trivial to be brought into court, Grand Juror S. S. Gwilllm this morning recommended a suspen- sion of judgment against Salvatore Scaff, who was arraigned before Jus- tice A. H.-Condell on the charge of as- sault. Prosecutor Gwillim told the court that the affair might have been settled without any arrests wad the authorities looked into it and he was inclined to favor the prisoner’s release without punishment. Justice Condell, however, imposed a fine of $1 without cost. Scaff was accused of assaultng Mi- chael Champello, and the latter was also in court facing a similar charge. In his case the grand juror was not inclined to suggest any severe punish- ment, although he expressed the be- lief that he was responsible for the trouble. The court fined the accused $2 without cost: Testimony owed that what had been termed as an assault was noth- ing more than a little disagreement between two factory employes_ result- ing in one of them pushing the other and threatening to strike him with a broom. The quarrel took place in the plant of the Bristol Manufacturing company yesterda After the row Champello went to Constable John E. Conlon and clair- | ing that he had been assaulted, asked for Scaff’'s arrest. He was taken before Grand Juror Norton and after he hud explained that his assailant was car- rying concealed weapons and had abused him, other witnegses having corroborated his story, a warrant fer Scaff’s arrest was ued and given to Officer Conlon for service. In the meantime Scaff, suspectiny that the police were to be called in, reported to Patrolman Marino that there had been a little row and th Champello was responsible. The offi- cer learned from William Turner, the foreman, that the fracas was of a most trivial character, and assurance was given Scaff that he would not be arrested. A few minutes later Constable Con- lon came along with the warrant and took the man to the lock-up. Scaff protested to Officer Marino that Champello should be brought in too, if the case was going to court, and the policeman went to Grand Juror Gwil- lim for a warrant for the other ul- leged combatant. Bail was refused the pair and they spent the night in the lock-up. It court it was explained that both men were sweeping in the factory and that they got into an argument over the manner in which the work was being done, Champello finally push- ing Scaff and threatening to use the broom on him. Both admitted that such was the case. Before the cases were disposed of both Prosecutor Gwillim and Justice Condell both scored Champello for going to the police with so trivial a complaint, particularly in view of his own admissions that he was re. sponsible for the row. A friend of Scaff came to his rescue, producing a dollar bill to satisfy the court’s judgment. Champello’s wife was in the court room, displaying a wad of bills that would choke a tun- nel. She peeled off two certificates 'and her spouse was released. For some reason not apparent, the court gave no fees for arrest to Officer Conlon and Grand Jurors Norton and Gwillim as well as Justice Condell also failed to benefit financially by tl:ne hearing. s Conlon’s Rights Restored. The general assembly vesterday af- ternoon passed under suspension of rules, Representative E. T. Carter’'s bill restoring forfeited rights to Charles F. Conlon ,of this place.
