JUDGE DISAPPROVES OF POLIGE METHODS Hungeriord Discharges Matzikuk, Principal in Liquor Case Attorney David L. Ndir, counsel for the defense, scorned the methods of the New Britain police in securing evidence against John Matzikuk of Farmington avenue on Sunday morn- ing, when he was arraigned in po- lice court this morning on a charge of assault and a charge of violating the Iliquor law., Judge Willlam C. Hungerford in acquiting Matzikuk sald that he did not quite approve of the methods used by the police in this case nor did he fully understand the purpose of the assault charge pre- tferred against the accused man. Attorney Nair said that the police illegally scized the liquor in the Matzikuk home and had no right to enter the house without a search war- rant. He further stated that the police acted on the complaint of two drunks and expressed the belief that Matzikuk, who cannot speak very soud linglish, had been taken ad- \untage of by the. police. Detective Sergeant William P. Me- Cue testified that after 1 o'clock Sun- day morning FKelix Mallok came to police headquarters to register a com- plaint. Acting on the complaint Ser- geants McCue, Ilynn and Ellinger with Policeman Patrick O’'Mara went to Matzikuk's house at 35 Farmington avenue with Mallok. Mrs. Matzikuk responded to their knock on the door, Sergeant McCue testified, and gave them admittance to the home. When in the house, he said, he told her that Mallok had purchased a bottle ol whiskey at the house for $1.25 and he asked permission to search al- though he did not have a warrant, the sergeant said. While the officers were svarchmg Sergeant McCue went to the bedroom and wakencd Matzikuk. In the search the policemen found a jug of liquor in a bedroom, a bottle of liquor in the pantry and a barrel of mash. The husband then came out and objected to the search without a warrant, Ser- geant McCue said, and the police no longer searched the place. I"elix Mallok when on the stand testified that he had purchased a bot- tle of whiskey from Matzikuk for $1.26. He said that after he had pur- chased the liquor he had been knocked down. After cross examina- tion by Attorney Nair, Mallok said he went to the Matzikuk home at 4 o'clock in the afternoon on Satur- day, remained there until 6 o'clock, complained at police headquarters at 8 o'clock and went with the police to the house at 1 o'clock Sunday morn- ing. Alex Waleski of 55 Putnam street testified that he did not go in the house when I%elix bought the drink but he said he knew that Felix, who is a friend of his, did not have the Mquor when he went in but did have it when he came out. Witness Contradicts Mallok Paul Matouski, who was in the house at the time Felix was supposed to hawe been there, said that Felix did not purchase the liquor there, "I told the officers at the time that they could not search the place with- out a warrant and I told them that neither Matzikuk nor his wife could speak English,” Matouski said. Jof™h lLankars, who lives in the same house, testified that he had never seen drunks go into the Matzikuk tene- ment nor come out. Attorney Nair then asked for a dis- charge on the ground that the police had no right to enter the place and search it without a warrant and on the ground that it-had not been prov- en that Mallok had purchased the whiskey from Matzikuk., He scored the method of seizure employed by the police in this particular case. Matzikuk was then acquitted by the judge, who also stated that he dis- approved of the policemen’s methods. Prosecutor William Greenstein pre- sented the state's case. Glimes Fined $100 ,Alonozo 8. Glimes was arraigned in court on a charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor and drew a fine of §100 and costs from Judge Hungerford. Prose- cutor Jaseph G. Woods presented the state'y case. Sergeant George €. Ellinger testi- fied that he and Policeman Willlam Doherty arrested the accused man on Broad strect last night after seeing him drive down the street with only three tires on the car and the rear doors open. Policeman Doherty said that Glimes was driving the car on} |every courtesy, the wrong side of the street and was intoxicated. Desk Bergeant Mathias Rival testified that Glimes was drunk when brought to police headquarters. Spearmin eaves Glimes admitted he had had two drinks of wine but could not say where he got his liquor. He said that he had trouble in getting home and was all tired out. Later he said he thoukht he bought the wine in Meri- den. Charged With Striking Girl. Mrs. Anna Paninas, charged with assault on a twelve-year-old girl, was discharged by the judge, but warned that if she should again appear in court she would receive a heavy fine. Policeman Strolls testified that he ar- rested the woman at 111 Hartford avenue yesterday on complaint, The twelve-year-old complginant testified that Mrs. Paninas struck her with a stick because she was fooling with some children playing in her yard. Must Support Family Fred 8t. Lawrence, charged with non support, was ordered (o pay his wife $12 a week towards the support of four children, and a bond was fixed at $300. Mrs. Bt. Lawrence testified that she bad not received any money in the past three wecks. Probation Officer Conolly said that St. rence has been on a drunk the past two weeks and has not been working. St. Lawrence admitted he had been drunk, but promised that he would go to work. Judge . Hears of Quarrels. Mary Oszlek, charged with disturb- ing the peace, was discharged. She was arrested yesterday by Policeman Anderson at 42 Grove street on com- plaint of her husband, who testified in court that she had been throwing dishes at him, Judge Hungerford discharged Joseph Sulek, charged with assault- ing Luecy Kulis of 99 Grove street hy knocking her down and kicking her. The girl testifed that she was stand- Ing near the gate at the entrance of the front yard when Sulek came along and slammed the gate in which her thumb had been caught. Then she said he knocked her down and kicked her. Sulek’s daughter said that her parents and Lucy's parents are quar- relling all of the time and it was dur- ing one of the family quarrels yes- terday that the girl was injured. WASHINGTON ELK PRONOUNCED DEAD Tree, Under Which Command of ‘Continentals’ Was Taken, Lost Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 14,—The Washington elm is dead. The official demise of the famed tree beneath which Washington took command of the Continental army was announced vesterday by Dr. C. Sargent, di- rector of the Arnold arboretum of Harvard university, in a letter to Mayor Edward W. Quinn of Cam- bridge, “All signs of life have now gone from the Washington elm,” Dr. Sar- gent wrote, “and there is no longer any chance of keeping it alive until the autumn. So far as I am con- cerned, it can be cut down at any time."” Mayor Quinn, it is learned, is eager to raise a fund from the school chil- dren of the country for a shaft to mark the historic spot when the tree has disappeared. The trunk will prob- | ably be cut into small bits to be dis- tributed as souvenirs among the museums of the country and the Cambridge schools. An offshoot of the Washington elm was planted on the Cambridge com mon forty years ago and is now in a flourishing condition.
