They Were llmigd Stubbornly contested throughout from « legal viewpoint, with witnesses subjected to grilling cross-examina- tion, objections by counsel to the in- troduction of certain details of testi- mony being frequent, and interpreta- tion of the-crininal statutes being argudd from various angles, the ‘ar- raignment of Mrs. Martha Bell, aged 35, wife of Willian Bell of 54 Pratt street, Meridém, formerly of this city, and Caltavone Marcell, aged 24, of 34 Yale street, also of Meriden, be- fore Judge James'T. Meskill in po- lice court today for misconduct, ‘de- veloped into a lengthy hearing with several intermissions to allow attor- ueys for the defense to confer with thefr ‘cHents. Waiving. éxamination, following: introduction of evidence by the prosecution, the accused were bound over to the June term of su- perior court under probable cause, Wwith bonds fixed at $50¢ each. Charles E. Hull of Meriden went surety for Mrs. :Bell, while. the aged mother of Margell ‘provided her savings to .ob- tain ‘the release of .her . son. The hearlng ‘was conducted in chambers, Judge Meskill ordciing the ccurt room to be cleAred at the beginning of the hearing. . The arraignment resulted from the arrest of the aoccused in room 32 at the Regal hotel early yes- terday morning by Sergeant Theodore Johnson and Policeman Patrick Quirk. Represented by Attorneys P. T. 'O’Brien of Meriden and Harry P. Roche of this city, the accused de- nied - any .wrongdoing. Attorney O’Brien, cpnducting the case for the defense, contended that there was no evidence to base conviction on the charges under the statutes. He quot- ©d at length from the statutes in an gndeavor to show there was no evi- ‘dence of wrongdoing on the part of the accused. Following the introduc- tion of testimony . by the state, he made a motion for the discharge.of ?q,ucuud on the ground that there a# no evidence to hold them. The motion was denfed and was followed by the plea of counsel for the defense for an intermission to confer with their clients. Upon court being re- sumed, it was announced there would be a waiving of presenting evidence by the defense, and the request was made that bonds be fixed under a probable cause finding. Source of Information Police Secret. The hearing brought forth several interesting rulings by Judge Meskill upon several mooted points of law or court procedure. One was that a po- Hceman giving testimony does not h‘v. to make known the identity of g information thas re- man. This developed when O’Brien sharply questioned ‘lnnnnt Johnson as to the person ho; “tipped” him off to the fact that the couple were registered at the hotel as man and wife. Prosecuting Attor- ney Geprge W. Klett came to his aid l with, an objection that was sustained by Judge Meskill. It was also ruled that in an action of this type, circum- stantial evidence must play an import- ant part. - Policeman Quirk testified that he heard 'considerable disturbance from one of the hotel rooms facing the street as he patrolled Church street early ' yesterday morning, and was later informed that a couple had been making much trouble, as if. having an argument. Shortly after 4 o'clock he visited the hotel with Sergeant Johnson, being informed by Night Clerk John Hoyle that the couple in, question occupied room 32. It was testified the door of the 'room was slightly ajar as they approached it and the accused, fully dressed, were noted sitting on the eédge of the bed looking out of the window. The bed was' disarranged, it was testified. g- torney O’Brien called attention to the fact ‘that. none of the evidence indi- cated the accused having been seen by anyone in any way but attired in street dress. The .visit to the hotel by the police detail followed a con- ference between Sergeants George J. Kelly and Johnson with Policeman Quirk at headquarters, and the con- sideration of all evidence. " According to Sergeant Johnson, Marcell persisted, following the arrest, that he and the woman were married, but he professed ignorance as to when and where they were married. Mrs. Bell attempted to “coach him™ as to these details and refresh his “memory, According to the testi- ‘mony, Mrs. Bell begged hard to be allowed her freedom, saying that her husband is a night fireman in Meri- den, did not know. of her trip, and that she has a child to whom she is ‘greatly devoted. Mes Her on a Tram. Upen being arrested, Marcell cllh'n.d” that he was unacquainted wlth hig Platonic companion until y night, when, while on the [ w ‘to this city to attend a dance in Turner hall, he flirted and struck up an aequaintance with her. ‘He in- formed the police that they attended the dunce together and then decided to go to'the hotel for the night. Mrs. Bell 'gaid that she lived in New Brit- ain mbout seven years, but has not been”in the city in that len:th of him. nm of the hotel tes- tha$ Mrs. Bell, with two men, .dmmod-ly her husband, and the ‘other registered as her cousin, came in to him between 9 and 10 o'clock Saturday night and wanted two rooms, one for Marcell “snd; wife” and the other for the cousin. He sald he as- signed the. man and woman to room 32 and the cousin.to room 325, some ways-off from the first named room. It was admitted that he has not seen the cousin since. Fashionably gowned, attended by Attorney O’Brien and several rela- tives, Mrs. Bell became the foous of all eyes, because of the comparison with usual attendants at court ses- sions. Marcell had to occupy & place in the *‘dock,” pending the putting up of bonds by his relatives, William' Bell identified the accused as his wife, gave the place and date of wedding and testified that he and his wife have lived together. Littered Rosdway With Scrap. What is belleved to be the first | action of its kind ‘in the local court came up in the arraignment of Charles Johnson, a driver for Solomon Shur- berg, dealer in metal and. coal, charged with causing scrap metal to become ladged in the_ public highway to the endangerment of vehicles, especially automobile’ tires. Appear- ing against him were President George M. Landers of the Chamber of Com- merce and his chauffeur, Willlam Fehr. They testified that they were on their way to Hartford by auto when Johnson was met driving an au- tomobile in use as an improvised trac- tar and hauling a heavily loaded wagon of scrap metal. So heavily loaded was the wagon, t.hey testified, that parts of its contents were falling off and landing over the thorough- fare. A quantity of the metal was picked' up -between Ibelle’s and Corbin’s corners and shown in ecourt as evidence. Word was telephoned ta police headquarters and Motorcycle Policeman Willlam P. Hayes made the. arrest. Detective Sergeant Samuel Bamforth also testified. Shurberg, employer of the accused, said that He. had no knowledge of the trouble and would not have ‘allowed it to happen had he known of it. e ‘'was severely reprimanded by Judge Meskill, in- formed that he would be held re- sponsible and another similar appear-' ance on a like complaint would mean action against him as well as an ‘em- ploye. Johnson was allowed to go under lu-pended sentence with a reprimand. Edward l-hrtnay of 87 Sexton street, arrested by Policeman Joseph Ken- nedy far intoxication and violation of probation, was sentenced to jail for 16 days and previous probation or- dered revoked. Advised to Mount Water Wagon, Joseph Grabeck of 32 North street was fined $8 and costs 'for intoxica- tion and: breach of the peace, the fine being paid. Bg pleaded guilty to the charge. Policeman Thomas Heslin testified that Grabeck was with ' a number of companions when' ordered to move on. His companions, it waa testifled, moved and tried to have him .do so. According to the testimany, Grabeck refused to have them help or be responsible for his moving but in- sisted upon it being done right by an officer. He was accommodated. He promised to ‘“climb on the water wagon,” if. leniency’ sshould be shown, ‘Get on the wagon, stay there and be sure and don't fall off” was the ad- vice given: by:Judge Meskill. James Scully of 92 Hart atreet, learned that there is a limit - to .the court’s probationary procedure. Dealt leniently with last Tuesday and Satur- day, when he was arraigned on a simi- lar charge, he was today sentenced to Jail for 50 days for being a common drunkard and probation was ordered revoked. Previous probation eom-| prised a fine of $5 and costs imposed Saturday. Despite his appearances last week, he attempted ' to explain .yesterday’s conduct and how he hap- pened to fall inta the clutches of Po- liceman Quirk. Michael Smith of 4 Clark street was | séntenced to jail for thirty days tor‘ breach of the peace. . He contended | that a companion called him names and he called back. The state’s tes- timony was that h¢ called a waman patron of a dance bad names, jostled her and otherwise roughly treated her. Frank Lugie of 172 Broad street, arrested last night in frant of Fox's theater for breach of the peace by Sergeant Johnson and Supernumerary Policeman Patrick A. McAvay, was fined $3 and costs. It was testified that he tried “rough house” tactics in attempting to get through a crowd to the ticket office and defled the police- men, “I know what I am doing but | you do nat,” it was claimed he told the arresting officers. Being from Missouri, he was shown that New Britain policemen also know their business. An unidentified motorcyclist gran down David Palmer’s automobile yes- terday afterndon near the home of the latter as the machine was being run from the roadway into the yard at 1543 Stanley street.
