Hunger- ford In police court this morning after a hearing on a charge of man- slaughter in connection with the death of Alexander Laskazewskl, who died at the New Britaln Gen- eral hospital last Monday night from a compound fracture of the skull. The fracture is alleged to have been received in a fight in which Sapko assaulted Laskazewski last Sunday night, Attorney B. J. Mankiewicz, who represented Sapko, made a plea to the court to hold Sapko under the original bond of $1,500 set when he was first arraigned, but the court ruled that the case presented a se- rious aspect and he felt that a heavier bond should be required. Medical Examiner John B. Pur- ney, who performed an operation on Laskazewskl in an effort to have his life and then performed the autopey on the body, testified that the man's death resulted from a compound fracture of the skull, caused by a blow on the head by a blunt instru- ment. None of the state’s witnesses were able to say that Sapko, when he etruck the man at the corner of Lyman and Gold streets last Sunday night, had anything in his hand, but Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods brought out that none of them was close enough to the scuffle to distin- guish whether Sapko used his fist |only or had something in ft. According to the testimony in court, the scuffle that resulted in Laskazewski's death started when he accused Walter Malkowskl, a part- ner of Sapko's in a store at 57 Ly- man street, of cheating him out of $10. After a short argument, Mai- kowski put Laskazewski out of the |and walked across the street with |nim to where the alleged assault | took place. | Patroimen Willlam McCarthy and | Alfred Tanguay found Laskasewski Iving on the steps of the house at 55 Lyman street in an unconscious condition, the blood flowing down the side of his head from a wound on the top.

Stevens of New Milford {in the U. 8. district court here to- |day before Judge Edwin S. Thomas | charging malpractice. Mrs. Zimmer charges that Dr. Stevens failed to, |diagnose her injuries, correctly | when she was thrown from a load of hay on her husband’s farm in August, 1923, and that as a result | of the insufficlent treatment her in- Juries were given she may never be able to obtain employment on the stage again.

A doctor | she went to later took an X-Ray of |her neck and found a serfous frac- ture.
