IN COURT TODAY Husband Ghased Females of| Family—0ther Cases Heard A street fight resulting In two ar- | rests, case of a husband who {chased his wife and daughter out of their home, and a man who made a disturbance at midnight, occupled |the attention of Justice Henry P. Roche, acting judge iny police court |this morning. Assistant Prosecuting | Attorney William Greestein present- ed the state’s cascs, John Cizcinski aged 47, of 420 Myrtle street, charged with breach of the peace and drunkenness at the instance of Officer John O'Keefe and Ernest Bloomquist, had previous {probation revoked and was sen- |tenced to 10 days in Jjail. His |daughter was in police court yester- {day on the charge of street walking and her case was continued until |Baturday morning. According to the testimony of the | police, Cizcinski made a disturbance at his home at midnight and they gave him a chance to be quiet, | | which he declined | Pleads Not Guilty William Jones, aged 28 years, of 5 West street, pleaded not guilty |to, assaulting Carl Hegman, colored, lot 141 Winter street. Hegman testified that Jones struck him about 9:30 last night at the |corner of Talcott street and Hart- [tord avenue, without causé. Heg- man complained to the police and |Officer Feeney arrested Jones. Jones testified that he and Christ~ |opher Murphy of 35 Chestnut street |were going home when Hegman {came along and bumped inta them. | Jonea told Hegman to go along as he and Murphy did not wish his |company. Hegman asked him how the was “fixed.” Jones asked him {what he meant by that question and | the reply was. “You know what 1| |mean.” Hegman then pushed Jones | and Jones pushed him and knocked him down. | Murphy, who was charged with | drunkness, denied the charge. He { admitted having had some drinks from a bottle in Jones possession but he claimed he should not have | been arrested. Jones was fined $10 and costs | for assault and Murphy $10 amd | costs for drunkeness. William Sinkiewicy aged 44 vears, of 14 Connerton street pleaded not guilty to charges of breach of the peace and drunkeness. Ho said he was Intoxlcated Sunday but not : es- terday . Officer T. J. Feeney arrested him | | about 2.30 yesterday atternoon on complaint of his wife and daughter who were chased out of the house by him, | Mrs. Sinkiewicy said her husband 1s infoxicated every week and beats and Kkicks her very often. He calls her names and accuses her of in-| fidelity and she does mot want to Jive with him if this is to continue. | The daughter of the accused man | said there is frequent trouble at | home because her father drinks | heavily and shé and her mother| | cannot stay in the house with him,| Sinkiewicy denied he was !n!ox-; |fcated yesterday but admitted he drinks to excess ocassionally. FHis| | wite does not obey him and then he | becomes angry with her. That was | the case yesterday, he said. If she | would do as he says he would not | be angry . | Justice Roche remarked that Sinklewicy apparently thinks he can o home intoxicated and abuse his mily whenever he pleases. Flo has been on probation before but it does not eeem to correct him. He imposed | a sentence of 30 days in jail and suspended execution of the sentence, | Ho warned Sinkiewley that he will go to jall if he is found guilty| again \\'illianr(:hauin.
