Griswold li‘d‘]m.n unusually’ heavy docket in W' this morning, five cases being 'd by him in short order. John of New Britain was_the most offender. He was found guil- "of breach of the peace, intoxica- n and assault on Joseph . Pitzy of on who gave his age as ~three years. On the first two :0unts a fine of $7 dollars and costs amounting to $18.46 was imposed and & sentence of thirty days in jail was ‘tvg; for his assault on Pitzy, but }g@ ent was guspended as the man wife and two caildren who are ndent on him. The alleged assault took place in a cafe in Kensington. . Pitzy, the. first witness, on_the stand, told of having brutally a.spa,ulted by Pelffin, He for no reason Pelffin bit his hand h-he exhibitéd with a large scar it. He said ‘that the New Britain :In had thrown him over his should- out into:.the street causmg him to gtrike his head. i“Joseph Holt, 2 witness to the al- leged assault; said he was. sitting on 8 porch opposite the saloon when Pit- 2y approached him and said that he had been brutally beaten "and wanted Pelffin apprehendéd. Holt instricted Pitzy where he could secure an offi- cer. .Instead of going for an officer Pitzy returned to the cafe.” Holt then sajd he saw Pelffin strike Pitzy-two - blows in the face which sent the man _through the screen . ,door into the street. g The nccused, in ‘his ‘own de!ence disclaimed knowledge ‘of assaulting the aged man. He said that he left the Construction company where he »is employed at noon and Fecame in- toxicated. - He sald that he remem- being annoyed by Pitzy but that he only pushed the man away. Although Pelffin is an tndustrious fellow when sober he becomes pugnacious when under the ‘nfluence of liquor.' This was his second appearance in the Berlin court in five years. «“Couldn’t Come to Court. * Peter Meleni of Kensington was . tined $3 and cpsts by Judge Griswold “_tor discharging firearms on July 3. M ‘aryested by Sheriff Clark ' Constable Hackett, n .Lyon’s r shop, Kensington, at about 30 oeleék Saturday night, shooting ff glant cannon crackers. The young lan was told to appear in coufl; on onday, morning and was let go on recoqlunco M gqni galhd on the ulnmed day and was rounded up by the officers of the law. : ln his own defence Meleni said that was unable to be present at the proceedings because it rained. He spent the day in New Britain. In imposing the fine Judge Griswold told Meleni that he would have been dealt with in a lenient manner had he ap+ peared in courtithe day Before. Masseli in Court. Nicholas Masseli, the thirteen years old son of Antonio Masseli of Main streef, Kensington, was before Judge Griswold charged with the theft ' of- a bicycle from Louis Maier of Blue Hills. He was found guilty and sen- tenced to the reform school, judgz- ment being suspended. The boy wans put on probation for six menths and John -Carbo, the brick manufacturer of Kensington, was appointed by the court as his guardian. Antonio Masseli, the father of younz Masseli, told the court that he had lost patience with his son. He sail he had ten children and had a diffi- cult time in providing for them with- out having to be bothered by his-in- corrigible son, He said that he would not object if the boy was sentenced to the reform school. When voung Masseli was put on the stand he was inclined to fabricate. He could give no specific cause for ihla actions. He said that he had a good home and was well treated by his father and brothers and sisters. Prosecutor Gibney gave the boy a se- vere lecture and told him what consequences would be if he got in trouble again. Had No Light on Bicycle, Raphael Paelo of Kensington did not have a light on his bicycle aftexr sundown as is required by law and was fined $2 without costs. The man was arrested last night at about 10 o’clock in front of C. Anderson’s store, - Kensington, by Sheriff Clark .and Constable Hackett. Paelo plead- ed ignorance of the law, saying that he did not know a light was required on a bicycle after dark ~ He said he for two vears. ' Last night, he asserted was the first time that he rode his bicycle after dark. New Britain Man in Court, Stanley' Eddy; » well-known man from New Britain, was charged with not having the rear light on his auto lit. He' was arrested at the Berlin depot last night at 11 o'clock by Sheriff Clark and Constable Hackett. Mr. Bddy was found not culpable and was discharged upon payment of ‘he costs, Mr, Eddy told of having a light when he left home but it had probab- 1y gone out on his way to the depoct where he was to meet the incomirg train. Yesterday’s Court Cases. There was but one case tried be- fore Judge Griswold in the town court vesterday morning. Albert Mantey of amounting to $8,” i light on his wheel Sunday night. The maximum sentence was imposed by i the court as the court thought the man lied excessively. Fourth of July Accdents, It Rained. | As far as can be ascertained but i two serious Fourth of July accidents occurred in Berlin. Philip Kalen, the young. son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kalen of Kensington, - received a painful, wound yesterday when a blank eartridge was discharged from his gun as he was holding the palm of his left hand over the muzzle. | ' The wad of paper,rom the car- (tridge entered his hand and Drs. M. H, and R. M, Griswold had consid- mblo dAMculzy in probing for it, The had been a resident of this country | Blue Hills was fined $5 and costs, | for not having a | grains of powder were cleaned out and if blood poisoning does not set in the wound will heal rapidly. While stepping from his father's store on Main street, Kensington, Robert, the young son of Officer and Mrs. William J. Ritchie, received a painful wound as John Murray, aged about twelve yeears blank cartridge directly in his face. The powder spread over his left cheek and neck but fortunately did not en- ter the boy’s eye. Claude W, Stevens Deputy Judge. Ex-Senator Claude W. Stevens .of Kensington was today swofn in as deputy judge of the Berlin town court succeeding Tax-collector Charles F. Lewis who has held the office for the past four years. the - > CLAUDE W. STEVENS, Mr. Stevens was appointed deputy judge at the January session of the general assembly at Hartford., The term of office is for two years and was to commence on the first Monday in July, but as yesterday was a legal holiday Mr, Stevens deferred taking the.oath of office until this morning. To Give Decision Tomorrow, Through the request of Attorney Emil J. Danberg, counsel for Carl Ludwig Carlson in the suit against William J. Seibert for posses$ion of property on Worthington ridge, deci: sion in the summary proceedings which was to be given by Judge Gris- wold today was held over until to- morrow. Judge F. B. Hungerford is counsel for Seibert. Slight Hope ¥or Mrs. Ensign, Slight hope was held this morning for the recovery of Mrs. Robert En- sign, who lies in a precarious condi- tion at the home of her son, Thomas Ensign of Worthington ridge. Mrs. Ensign, who is 80 years of age, had a shock Friday night and has since been in a semi-conscious condition. i Dr. T. C. Hodgson of East Berlin is atending her. i Mrs. Ensign is one of Berlins best known residents. Her ‘husband, Dr. Robert Knsign who died about six years ago, was a well-known prastir- ing physician in this town. Rain Speils Outings.

P. Williams, and it is expected that at least six of them will appear in court tomor- row morning before Justice .C. H Calor.” Not since the memorable visit of the New Britain gangsters a few years ags has the town been so stirred up over police matters, and some of the officers are not receiving any special praise for the manner in whichithey handled the situation. Among those to_be arraigned ior theh‘ aneged connection with the row Qiminee Poul Teompsd Eugens Parkinson, Thomas Cassidy, Jemes Leeang Syivester Mason. Two others, James Gilyard and George Jackson, were given hearings vester- day They were captured Sunday night. Jackson was fined $10 and. costs, amounting to $21.96, and Gilyard was fined a similar amount in addition to receiving a sentence of thiry davs in jail. According to the information oh- tained by the police the fight was a _sequel to & dispute a few evenings 280 hetween Jackson and the driver of a jitney, which is operated between Bristol ,and Plainville. Jackson wis found tamepring with the battery in the car and it is said the owner threatened to assault him. Sunday right Jackson and Sylvester Mason stopped the auto and attempted to jostle some of the passengers. Spe- cial officers, sworn in by the selcct- men for duty on that evening, inter- ferred and the pair ran away. Mason was. subsequently captured by his brother, “Barney” Mason, & special constable. They had a tussie near Central Square, Constable Cor- nelius Downing arriving on the scene while they were wrestling. He placed Sylvester under arrest and . was about to escort him towards the lock-up when the pFisoner punch- ed and broke away. Constables David atan | and Marino came to Downing's as- ‘sistance but Mason made a successful get away, running along the rallroad tracks with the officers and a large crowd in pursuit. Near the lumber yvard of H. C. Thompson the fight be. came general and the policemen were rather badly used up. During the excitement all but Gil- ydrd and Jackson escaped. The names of several suspects were turned over to Grand Juror Willlams and he is- sued warrants for them. The pu- pers in most of the cases were served last night. Mason, it is said, has de- cided to surrender himself and he will probably. be in court with the others tomorrow. Due to a misunderstanding on the part of Officer Marino to whom the warrants were given, the young men were not in court this morning. Jus- tice .Calor and Prosecutor Willlams had arranged to have the hearings today and they were in the town building at 9:30 to dispose of (he cases. They waited until 10 o'cloek and when officers and prisoners failed to appear they got in communication with Marino, who explained that he had instructed the prisoners and near- | prisoners to report tomorrow motn- | ing. All the suspects, with the excepuon of Coates, are either out on bonds or their own recognizance. Justice Calor had instructed the police = to notify the young men to appear in court and it was his understanding that none of them was to be locked up. The cfficers went to Coates home late last night, however, and brought him to the detention cells in the town building. This morning Justice Calor released him, W. C. Hart having promised to have him in court with the others tomorrow. Family in Want. After Gilvard had been sent to jail for his connection with the braal, Selectman Johnson was advised that the man's family was in dire straits and would have to be cared for by young | men, who, it is alleged, participated | } Sunday the town while the “head = of tu'! house” is living at Seyms street. Gil- vard's wife is sick and his children were found to be neglected. The family has been supported by Mrs. Gilyard’s father, who contri- butes his pension. Gilyard himself works but little. Hart Will Be a Witness. Former Deputy Sheriff W. C. Hart will appear voluntarily in court to. morrow morning to tell Justice Calor of the poor judgment exercised last evening by Constable Marino in ar- resting an autoist for operating a ma- chine without having the tail light burning. The man was notified to report for a hearing at 9:30 Wednes- day. According to the . ex-shériff the autoist had stopped his car at the railroad crossing and had started hig lamps burning. He had gone but a few feet when the lights were ex- tinguished and he immediately drove to the curbing to relight the lamps. Officer Marino showed up about this time and told the driver he was un. der arrest. The latter attempted to explain, aceording to Mr. Hart, but Marino threatened to bring additional charges egainst him for giving “back talk.” The officer insisted on the man coming here for trial. Mr. Hart is indignant over the tregtment given the man and hé sa:d today he intends to tell his story when the case is tried tomorrow. ‘While the safe and sane 1id was not on Plainville's celebration of Indepen- dence Day the holiday was observed rather quietly. Around the center the celebrators made merry Wwith noise-making devices and explosives of various kinds. - The crowd was fairly orderly, however, and not an arrest was necessary. Except for the street fight, the “night before'* also furnished but lit- tle excitement. Special . constables did duty at the churthes and they prevented efforts to ring the bells dur- ing the evening. According to the reports of the physieians, a few boys had their hands burned from powder but there were no accidents of apy consequence due to fhe celebration.
