IS AIRED IN COURT Scott Brothers Fined for Fight in Turner Hall Found guilty of being ringleaders in a “rough house” near the close of a ball at Turner hall last night, James Scott of 1228 State street, Bridgeport, and his brother, Frank Scott of 284 North street, this city, clalmed, by the police, to be associated with the “gas house” gang, were fined $7 and costs each by Judge James T. Meskill in po- lice court today for breach of the peace, a total of §19.26 each. An ap- peal was taken by Judge Willlam F. Mangan and the defendants were held in bonds of $100 cach. Additional charges of assault upon Supernurer- ary Policeman George LaRocque, de- talled for special duty at the hall, were not pressed as the few witnesses testi- fying claimed not to have seen this detail of the rumpus. Frank O’Keefe, companion of the Scott brothers, was discharged upon motion of Judge Margan as there was no testimony that he was jmplicated excepting as a spectator. Differences between the.Scotts and the ball comiittee, the latter backed by Supernumerary LaRocque, to proper interpretation of modern terp- sichorean figures, were the basis of the trouble, it was testified. The commit- | tee indisted that the demonstration of Frank Scott with an unidentified wo- man was illegal, ohscene and offen- siv An appeal was.made to Super- numerary LaRocque who, after watch- ing the couple in question, agreed with the committee and warned Scott. The latter iinmediately took offense at La- Rocque's edict to cease hia offensive dancing and the trouble followed. According to LaRocque, whose con- duct, according to eye witnesses who were not present in court, showed ex- cellent judgment as a representative of law and order, the Scotts not only ver- bally assailed him but, at least, one of them hit him' severil times in the face. Hc admitted that he was sur- rounded by a crowd of companions of the Scott brothers, who joined with them in attempts to prevent him from doing his duty, struck him and ,other- wise interfered with him. One of the musicians came to his aid with a flute, or some other muscal instrument using it as a weapon to force his way to LaRocque’'s side. The patrol was called from headquarters and, with the ald of regular officers, the Scotts and O'Keefe were arrested. An attempt was made by the accused 1o insinuate that the trouble was start- ed by LaRocque and founded on a for- mer experience of the complainant's. An attempt was also made to accuse TLaRocque of former conduct unbe- coming an officer. According to the report of Chief of Police William J. Rawlings after court, T.aRocque has an excellent record as a policeman and reports coming to him indicate that he used excellent judgment at the hall. “It was irony”, says an eye witnes: who was not summoned to testif: “that the trouble started just as the orchestra was about to strike up the farailiar strains of ‘Home, Sweet Home’."” It was a small riot with Policeman LaRocque attacked in a cowardly manner by a gang of yvoung men with whom he had previously been expostu- lating over dancing demonstrations that had brought down the condemna- tion of many on the floor. For several minutes the fight waxed furious, at- tendants and bystanders entering the fight. Much credit should be given to Edward J. Lynch, leader of the or- chestra, for a share in quelling the dis- turbance. Realizing the situation, he led the orchestra into a lively air and succeeded in diverting the attention of some of the combatants. Policeman Attacked From Rear. The fight started suddenly and as unexpectedly as an explosion of pow- der. Several men and women had been warned by Policeman LaRocque, at the request of the Musicians’ Union committee, to cease certain dance figures they were illustrating. Just before the last dance, LaRocque had oecasion to warn Frank Scott per- sonally. James Scott came 'to his brother’s assistance and, at first, tried to quiet Frank and to appease the of- ficer. There was a sudden scuffle and the erstwhile peacemaker's fist shot out, striking the policeman on the mouth. An incipient riot started instantiy. The two original offenders returned to the fight and other of their friends in the hall, made brave and bold by the fact that the policeman’s back was turned and he was already battling with two men, valiantly attacked him from in back. A member of the Musicians’ Union entered the fray armed with a music rack. He wiclded one biow ba- fore he was put to rout. Tom Dyson, a member of the Musicians’ commit- tee, rushed to the officer's aid and the mop of fightind men surged across the Thall room floor, men_ falling on all sides. Officer Larocque stuck with the fighters, landed a solid punch ocea- stonally and, in addition to keeping his feet, despite the general attack, succeeded in holding onto the man who struck him first. Qulet was re- stored as quickly as it started. The fighters melted away ioto the crowd and the last dance was danced. Immediately following the fight the voung man who first struck the police- man took occasion to admonish hix friends who had jumped into the fray in his behalf. He advised them that they were rosponsible for the serlous- ness of the riot, that he knew what he was doing and would have thanked them to mind their own busincss. as fian:-a_llg&@m HARTFORD NOVELTY AND BEAUTV I THE NEW SPRING SILKS FOULARDS, GEORGETTES, PONGEES, SATIN The new Spring Silks are wonderfully at activg in their new designs and colorings.
