Alling in police court this morning when 16 high' school boys were arraigned before him on charges of breach of the peace as| & result of a disturbance in the Capi tol theater, March 19, The cases were continued and the | boys placed under the supervision of the probation officer until Jine 23, | The young men before the court were: Harold Reagle and Kdward O'Brien, who were arrested immediately after the disutrbance by Patrolman Michael ‘Josgrove and whose cases were con- tinued until today for disposition,; itoger Sculley, Ernest Nelpp, Henry ‘Taylor, Anthony Martino, lLeroy Beg- ley, Ben Rogin, Henry Zehrer, Frank Phelan, Aibin Fengler, Harry Schect- man, Harry 1. Koplowitz, Irederick Jeanette and Frank McGrath, Attorney Saul Waskowitz, who ap peared for the young men, entered lleas of nolo contendere for all of hem, telling the court that they all idmitted that they were in the Uwatcr the afternoon in question and tha: «ach one of them was ready to make « clean breast of the whole affair, He ~aid all the defendants were young- sters with boyish hearts and boyish instinets and did only what any other cal live boys would have done under | the same circumstances, All were teady to take whatever punishment he court saw fit to impose, The Bombardment Regins it Prosecuting Attorney Wil am A, Greenstein opened the cases the state by giving an outline of hat happened at the theater. Het said that on the afternoon of ) 9, about 100 students from the local igh school went to the theater with supply of eggs, tomatoes, {ruit and her grocery articles for the purpose i throwing them at actors who were saifl to have made derogatory remarks about the New Britain high schoo! cothall team, When the actors appeared on the stage they were grected with a bom ardment and that although fortun- ately no one was injured an expensis« folin owned by Al Tucker, leader of the band that was putting on the act was demolished, Restitution has since been made for the damage incurred Ly the assanit, 100 Went to See the Fun. Sergeant Goorge C. Eilinger led to the witness stand to he investigation he had made into the affair. He told the that ha interviewed all the boys | I that Neipp, Taylor, Martino, Beg- v and Zehrer admitted throwing the | missiles at the actors, and that all | the rest of them admitted that they ' new what was going to happen there and went there for the purpose of witnessing it excepting McGrath, who denfed that he took any part in the affair and disclaimed all knowledge of the planning of the affair, He said that there were 154 students absent from the high school that afi- ~rnoon and there were about 100 in the theater when the outbreak took place. Prosecutor Greenstein rested (he state’s case saying that there could bs no doubt that all the defendants went to the theater for a specif purpose and that was to break up the show. Zehrer Tells Story of Attack, Judge Alling then asked Attorney Waskowitz to put one of the boys who would tell all the happenings on that day on the witness btand. Henry Zehrer was called to the stand by | Waskowitz and he told what he knew | of the plans. He sald that they had heard at the high schoo! that there was an acl at the theater in which one of the | stars, who came from Hartford, was | making derogatory. remarks. about the high school football team. Tt was then decided that they would go ip to the theater that afternoon and hisssand hoot the act off the stage. It was with that intention that they started out, but when the crowd ar- rived at the theater, he said that all the fruit and other stuff that was nrown had been eollected. Seeing hat they had all the fruit and other stuff, Zehrer said that they thought that they might just as well throw it at the actors and they did. “Where did the fruit come from fudge Alling aske “fI don’t know where om.” was the answer, Where did you get yours?” ‘From another fellow who was throwing it up in the air as we were going to the theater.” “Tt was all talked over and planned 18 throw these things at the actors Auring school hours that morning, wasn't 177 asked the court. Tt wasn't talked over at all was circulated about the school “When vou took the fruit long before you arrived at the theater, vou took it for the purpose of throw- ing §t when you arrived there, didnt sou?" Zehrer answered that he had. At this point Judge Alling said U a' he wanted the young men to un- nd that he did not know wha the remark was the actors were al oged 10 have made and he did not «at! th know as it had absolutels waring on the case., If #t was any ¢ A ss o was tell it eame (Continued on Page 12) Same charges against him NEW BRITAIN HERALD NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1924. —SIXTEEN PAGES.
