EACKETT MAKES ARREST Prisoner Has to Be Handcuffed Even ., After Being Placed in Lockup— | Fined by Judge Griswold—To Or- i\ ganize Liberty Chorus. Fighting ~ like & raving maniac, sinking his teethi deep into the right hand of Constable John J. Hackett, requiring handcuffs after being lodged in jail and trying to send Edward Brown of Kensington into the ‘“‘Great Beyond,” were but a few of the es- capades of one Joe Callina, who faced Judge George G. Griswold in the town | court this morning. Callina was charged by Prosecutor Gibney, with drunkenness, foree of arms, greatly disturbing and breaking the peace by tumultuous and offensive carriage, noise and misbehavior, threatening, {traducing, challenging, quarrelling, | #ssaulting, beating, striking and sev- eral other wrongs and offenses. Callina, it appears, is a quiet fel- “low until he flirts with John Barley- corn. Yesterday he imbibed too free- ly in several cafes, not only in this town but in New Britain. Toward evening as he was navigating his way Aome he stopped off at the Globe cafe. No attention was pald to the sccused until suddenly with a loud ery he threw hig coat into the air and locked the doors of the cafe. He yelled that-he had been robbed and threatened to kill every one in the place unless his pocketbook was re- stored to him. The purse was located in the man’s pocket. Brown, who is » wine clerk at the Globe cafe, tried ® quiet him. For his efforts Callina, It is alleged. hit him on the head. Callina, in his excitement, failed to remember that Brown was an ex- pugilist. Constable Hackett was summoned and had to send out an 8. O. S. call. Officer Ritchie respond- #d and the two guardians of the law , placed the man under arrest. On the way to jail, Callina fought with the officers trying to gain his freedom. After considerable diffi- culty he was placed in the town fockup. Fearing that he would de- _molish the place and would prob- ably do harm to himself, he was handcuffed. In court this morning, Callina was » different man. He was politeness personified. He made no denials of his guilt explaining that he was not responsible for his acts as he was too grunk to reallze what he was doing. M. Muzzi of Farmington avenue for ~ whom the man worked until a week Kgo spoke for Callina. He said that he was a good worker and very peace- avle except when under the influence i breach of peace and costs, totaling $26.45. 4 Join Liberty Chorus.

They will also “work” the factories where youpg women of | the town are employed. A number of citizens of the town are subscribing directly for bonds through the Plainville Trust company. The Trust company has made ar- rangements whereby the bonds can either be purchased outright, on the | government plan or on a weekly pay- | ment basis.
