All Protest Innocenee. Shechan denied that he was in the sutomobile and said that he with his two friends had just come out of a hallway in Neri’s block where they itad been taking a drink when arrest- ed. “I was drunk—‘and there’s a little ijquor down stairs that belongs to me, but T wasn’t in any auto,” he said. Asked by Prosecutor Klett why he ran if he was not guilty he said, referring to the police. “I don’t like them and they don’t like me and I ry to keep as much distance between {us as possible” Asked why he ran away when the officer spoke to him, Covle said, ‘“on general principals. I've done that be- fore to gave myself.” Boyle, too, em- phatically denied any complicity in the automobile episode. He said he was not in the car and was not drunk, although he had been drinking. Sheehan asked permission to ques- tion Officer McGrath and then asked n where he was standing when he irst saw the automobile. “At the corner of Wim and Hartford avenue,” !1lie officer replied. “That’s impos- sible,” Sheehan retorted, as Elm street does not intersect Hartford avenue at any point. Bovle also declared to the court that when Officer Mercure ar- 1ested him he asked the reason, whereupon the bluecoat replied he did rot know and at the station he said they were informed by the desk man (hat they were being held “on sus- picion.” Razor Wielder Goes to Jail.

Sowa explained that he had been shaving and forgot to take the razor from his pocket. Private Joseph Carroll of Company B, First Connecticut infantry, better known as “Speck,” testified that with Edward Cotter and a boy named Smith he followed Sowa to 91 Lasalle street and that the accused threaten- ed him with a razor. The Smith boy accused Steve Malinick of attempting to assault the soldier with a club as he was trying to pacify Sowa. Mali- nick was charged with breach of the peace and was fined $3. Judge as Domestic Advisor. The continued case of Carl Groth and Warren Holstein, charged with assaulting each other in Leupold’s saloon Friday night, was disposed of when the court dismissed both of the accused. Bvidence showed that Hol- stein was playing pool in the saloon and Groth insisted on bothering him. whereupon he shoved him aside. Groth said that there has been some trouble between the two and he was mercly trying to find out what it was that he might make amends and be friends. Groth has been in court sev- cral times and Judge Meskill inform- cd him that his money and time be- long to his wife and home and he had better stay there rather than in saloons. He told Holstein mnot to take the law into his hands In the future. George Hennish, a witness in this case, told the court that Groth had was on a “told him everything” but he “saw nothing” as he was ‘“fourth man at the bar.” Excused from the witness stand, Hennish asked, “Can I go home now?” and on being assured that he could he turned to the judge and said, “Is there anything in it for me, judge?” He was told to wait a few minutes and a witness fee would pe forthcoming. He waited. Fined $50 and Costs. H. A. Williams, whose wife and two children live in his father was for eighteen years a con- stable but who has been working in this city for the past four months, pleaded guilty to obtaining money under faise pretenses and was fined $50 and cos He was defended by Lawyer A. A. Greenberg. On Saturday afternoon entered Louis Winkle’s furniture store and picked out a rug, a chiffonier and a roll of oilcloth. He told the clerk to send the last two articles to his new home at 224 West Main street and he would take the rug with him and would pay for all three articles when they were deliv- ered. It developed that No. 224 West Main street is Walnut Hill park. Sub- sequent investigation showed that Williams took the rug to a house in the northern part of the city where he sold it for $10. Lawyer Greenberg sald his client had never been arrested before and had he not been somewhat under the influence of liquor he would never had committed such an offense. Judge Meskill, in passing judgment, said that were it not for the man’s go0o0d record he would have sent him to jail as men of his stamp are a menace to the communi Other Court Cases.
