Ellinger to a barn on Farmington avenue. and Bla road, Saturday night, and showed him 10 five gal- lon cans of alcohol which, he eaid, had been transported from New Haven | to this city by Sowa and Bascetto. The informant said he was coming in from Plainville Saturday night and passed the accused. He stopped and demanded payment of money owed | by both, and being unable to pay and fearing exposure in their trafficking of liquor, they turned over the booze car and contents. He drove the stuff to the barn. Later he was attacked by | Bascetti and in revenge told the po- lice about the booze deal, he said.

He drove the consignment of liquor to Jerome street where they met Varelll who then took the stuff. He is said to have admitted that he had transported loads of liquor from of several months and had acted M' agent for several retailers in booze. He was in partnership with Varelll and a man named Pavano, he said. On one occasion booze was spld to a man named Karbonik who was sub- sequently arrested and fined. He was then unable to pay for the booze and Varelli insisted that Sowa make good. This he refused to do, he said. Sowa Denies On the witness stand. Sowa sald he made no disclosures to the chief con- cerning Saturday night's activities, and that he wasgin Plainville at the time of the incidedt. He further stated that he was away until Tues- day. Information was furnished the | prosecutor that Sowa was present at the fight that took place on Washing- o'clock Saturday night. This, he denied. It is with re- lation to this claim that the prose- cutor feels he can prove perjury. ! Bascetto said he was around his home Saturday evening, and that he did not see Varelli until around mid- night.

There was considerable argument con- cerning the legality of service of the rapers, counsel for the defense argu- ing that returns had not been pro- { perly made. Judge Thomas said that he could find nothing wrong with the service of the papers in the case. Judge Expresses Surprise. In opening, Judge Thomas said that he had examined carefully all the affidavits, numbering about 100, and he said that he wae surpriseq at their contents.
