Tony Potoz of Berlin was fined $19 | and costs amounting to $15 by Judge | Gearge G. Griswold in the town court | this morning for breach of the peace and assault. The charge of drunkn- ness was nolled. Potoz is the man attack on Daniel Hitchwai, Sunday, | Prosecutor William E. Gibney con- ducted the case for the state and ! Constable Fred Winkle of New Brit- | ain acted as court interpreter. Hitchwai, the first witness for the state, told a story of how he was the victim of a brutal assault. For no reason whatever, he said, Tony gave | a severe trouncing. He related | how on ‘Wiursday of last week he w approached by a boarder residing at Tony's home and asked if he would take part in a little beer party at | Tony’s residence on Sunday. Fitty cents, which would go towards pay- | ing the expense of purchasing a keg | of beer, was all that was required for admittance to the party. Hitchwai dug down deep into his jeans and brought forth a shining half dollar, was accepted, and he becamec cligible. On Sunday Hitchy Tony's home in the with the assistance of boarder tapped the kez. Wony, it is se by and watched the pr ce2dings. He socured d large pitcher he admitted that he had drunk sev- | eral glasses of the beer and that he had also served it. He knew that the keg was in his cellar since last Friday and had made no objections. Explaining the reason for pointing the rifle at Hitchwai, he said, that he was about to let a friend have it when the argument started. He dodged answering the questions put to him by the prosecutor and many of his statements conflicted. He pro- duced two witnesses whose testimony | strengthened the state's case rather than assisting the accused. In summing up the case cutor ‘Gibney asked for a conviction saying that a lesson should be taught | to such men who handle guns too ! promiscuously and that Sunday beer | parties and rows would not be tol- erated in this town. Won't Give Up Clothes. Claiming that Cashne is in of his board bill Potoz has in hi possession the clothes of the former which he refuses to give up. Cashne has been boarding at Tony's home for about a month. After the fight Sunday morning Cashne decided to change his boarding house. He gives as his reason that he does not wish to reside in a house where guns ave brandished and where fights take place. In his haste to leave the house cn ail leaving some of hi clothes behind. When he called for them the next day Tony refused to give them up, claiming his board bill. He alleges that Cashne is a few weeks behind in his bill while the later says he owes him for only three days’ board. Cashne has not vet de- cided upon what course he will pur- sue in securing his clothes but is probable that he will resert to the courts. Gives Birthday at Prose- his raiment, Party.

The same evening Hit companied by his spouse, was de- livering milk in the neighborhood when the watchful Tony espied him. I.osing no time he made towards Hitchwai's milk wagon and, pulling the driver from the seat, trounced him before the eyes of his wife. Mrs. Hitchwai tried to rescue her husband, but Tony was too powerful for her. To substantiate his allegations Hitch- wai exhibited to the court a dis- colored eye and several scarts. Mrs. Hitchwai and Andrew Cashne, who was a boarder at Tony’s house, confirgned Hitchwai's testimony.

Carl Rhoades of Collinsville, a jit- ney operator, probably thought he had the laugh on Officer Marino last night when he took his auto from Cooke’s garage, where it had been put up for the night by the policeman, who refused to allow the owner to drive it on the grounds that he was intoxicated. If Grand Juror S, S. Gwilim has his way, however, the officer will get a chance to smile him- self as Rhoades will now have to ap- pear in court to answer o the charge of running an auto while under the influence of liquor. The prosecutor took up the matter with Justice Con- dell this morning and it was decided to allow the accused the usual five days in which to set a time for his ar- raignment, Responding to complaints. that Rhoades was not in fit condition to drive a machine, Officer Marino went to the man and explainec that his car was to be put in a garage for the night. The driver made but little protest and got a man himself to run the machine to Cooke's place. The officer claims Rhoades was so drunk at the time that he fell into the machine. At the gara the police- | man told the men in charge that the car was to be kept there until morn- | ing. second e | | | | the officer was about to return t> his beat, Rhoades 15 =aid to have threatened to make trouble for him. The policeman had hardly left the place when the achine, with Rhoades at the wheel, whizzed by him, the operator laugaing loudly | cver his strategy. YWhen the atten- tion of the men in the garage was di- verted from him, Rhoades had jumped into the machine and throw- | ing on the power hurried from the tuilding, Officer Marino reported the matter tc the grand juror this morning and an order for the driver's appearance in court was then issuea.

Decide on Hart. While no announcement has been made by the members, it is said that the democratic tewn committee has actically decided on William C. Hart s candidate for the nomination for first selectman and there is a strong probability that the former sheriff will be the choice of the caucus if he is willing to leave the ranks of the . O. P. and make the run as a disciple of Jefferson. Mr. Hart naturally is no longer en- thusiastic over the republican party as a result of Sheriff Dewey's action in dropping him as one of his deputies, especially in view of the fact that the local G.
