John Blair and Morris Riordan were sentenced to'jail for four months | and Tony Smith was given a sentence of thirty days on the charge of assault by Judge George G. Griswold in the town court this morning. All three were discharged on the count of high- way robbery because of lack of evi- dence. The prisoners were put to plea on the charge that they assaulted and robbed Nick Russo on the railroad +tracks between the depot and S & Reynolds’ brickyard on Tuesday evening about 9 o’clock . When asked to plead, each started to deny the al- | legations, and Prosecutor Gibney rec- ommended a plea of “not gullty.” | The first witness was Nick Russo, | the victim. He said he is forty-three years old, but from his appearance he | looked at least seventy . He wears a ! long black beard and limped to the witness chair. He worked all day Tuesday and then went to Kensington, where he purchased a bottle of Italian | wine. He was returning to his board- ing place in Styles and Reynold's, where he is employed, when he met | the three men. They called ‘“Hullo, | Nick” and he replied. He claimed they | grabbed him, Smith and Blair hold- | ing him, while Riordan went through | his pockets, relieving him of $3.10 as | well as his bottle. A watch, left with | him by a friend as security was also taken. The three hit him and when he fell, they kicked him. “Kicking, that's no fight” com- | “plained Russo. He then continued homeward.

He was arrested at 5 o'clock yesterday afternaon at the Corbin Screw corporation, where he is employed. The prisoners had not talked the case over in the lock-up last night, he simply saying “This makes it bad for us.” He was ar- rested in Newington a few years ago and fined for assault on the highway. | Smith agreed with the others as to the start of the scrap, but said that he walked awa He has worked | here for the past three summers and in the winter, is emploved on the New York docks. He was ten yards | away from the others when the blows were struck and consequently could nat tell anything of it. Russo was again called to the stand and he reiterated his previous testl- | mony and insisted that all had a hand in the assault. In summing up, Prosecutor Gibney | id there was no question but the men were guilty as charged. Thelr was highly improbable, for “why should an old man like Russo, try to hold up three young huskles. He was under the impression that Riordan had not forgotten the beating administered by Russo at the Holmes yard and had secured his two friends to get even. He asked for a convic- tion. Judge Griswold said he miss the complaint of the robbery charge, because of evidence and found the accused guilty on the assault count and in- flicted the above named penalties, Wishes to Pay Fine.
