Appeals to superior court from the ‘alor were last evening by Judge W. F. Mangan by the young men convicted in court afternoon on charges of drunkenness and breach of the peacq, the result of their alleged connéction with the gang fight near the center last Saturday night. All of them are now out on bail. But one of the crowd arrested for com- plicity in the fracas escaped punish« ment. Thomas Cassidy alone having conyinced the court that he was innos wrongdoing. Eugene Parkinson and Stanley Coates were each fined $10 and costs, Paul Leon- ard was assessed $7 and James Lee was fined $1, the court suspending judgment in his case. The trial of the young men was one of the longest ever held in Plainville. The first case was called at 10 o’clock yesterday morning and it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon before the taking of testimony in the others was finished. The hearings were interest- ing and some snappy repartee devel- oped between Judge Mangan and the officers, particularly Constable Mar- ino. The lawyer triad to convince the court that Marino was afraid to go to the assistance of the other policemen and that he was not paying much at- tention to the truth in testifying against the prisoners. All the cases were stubbornly eon- tested, Judge Mangan fighting every effort to prove that his clients did anything except watch the officers struggle with Sylvester Mason, who escaped from their grasp. Justice Calor backed up the police, however, and decided against all of the young men with the exception noted above. In the case of Parkinson, the court imposed a fine of $6 on two counts, drunkenness and breach of the peace, although there was no intoxication charge on the warrant served on him. Judge Mangan called the attention of Justice Calor to this fact and the lat- tér than stated that he would impose a. $10 fine on the one count instead. yeaterday The penalty was subsequently reduced | to $7, the court having been advised that it had no authority to impose more severe fine on @ breach of the peace charge. Bonds were fixed at $50 in the cases |+ of those for whom appeals were tak- en. It was said today that there is a strong probability that the appeals will' be vacated before the cases are scheduled to come up for trial in su- perior court. Raymond Clayton, who was also implicated in the row, according to the police, surrendered himself last night. It was said today, however, that the case against him was so weak that a nolle will be entered and he will not be brought into court. Autoists Released. After disposing of the breach of the peace cases, Justice Calor was to con- sider charges against two autoists who had been arrested by Officer Mar- ino for violating the light laws. The court directed that a nolle be entered in Both cases, however, it having been explained that they were hardly guilty. of any negligence. > Former Deputy Sheriff W. C. Hart was in court to testify for one of the men. According to the story he told Justice Calor, the Hght on the man's machine went out on West Main street near the railroad crossing. The driver got out and started them burn- ing. He then proceeded toward the center but as the machine went ,over the crossing the light went out again. He was steering the car to the curb to relight them when Officer Marino notified him that he was under arrest. The former sheriff declares that the driver attempted to explain the matter but instead of listening to him the officer threatened to put additional NOTICE OF SETTLE! MINISTRATION A NT OF AD- 'COUNT.
