It has become a street-corner platitude that there are four men |in the town who, although possibly not directly implicated, are power- ful enough in the underworld to be |able to tell the whole story if they {will. One of the four is an officer in the police department. The names of these four have ap- | peared in both of the two separate investigations under way here and | also, in information held by the fed- | eral district attorney in Cleveland. The bitterness caused by Mr. Mel- lett’s editorial war on the police | played a large part in the strife and | acrimony which flamed up after he was shot and delayed for almost a 4 |tound on the roof of fiouse within the yard.

Members of the family have asked the undertaker who is in charge of the bandit's body not to diwulge the funeral arrangements, Throughout the day a steady stream of curious persons called at the North avenue house and asked to view the body, but none, except | relatives, was admitted.

FAMILY SAVES AN FROM JAIL Elmwood Man Has 80 Days Suspended by Conrt A plea by Judge W. F. Mangan, counsel for James R. Murphy of Elmwood, saved Murphy from going to jail when he pleaded guilty to the charge of operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor, in police court this morning. Mur- phy is the first person to escape jai after being found gyilty on charge in the local court, in a long time. g Justice H. P. Roche imposed a fine of $100 and costs and a sentgnce of 30 days in jail, suspended, re- marking that he wants it under- stood that he is wholly without sympathy for drunken drivers, yet this appears to be a case where in- nocent persons would suffer if the practice of the court in sending con- victed drivers to jail were followed. Judge Mangan entered a plea of gullty for Murphy. Murphy is a family man, of indus- trious habits, and with a good rec- ord. Last Saturday he drank some cider in Farmington, not knowing it had alcholic properties. He did not 80 out to celebrate by deliberately becoming intoxicated. He is the fath- er of three children and his wife is in a delicate condition. She is in a highly ngrvous condition because of her husband’s predicament, and he has -suffered through injuries sus- tained in the collision that caused his arrest. He will suffer a monetary loss bd- cause of hospital treatment and ser- might not lave been the best, Skin- gor was not justified in resisting.

Fined For Assault W. J. Lambert, aged 36 years, of 122 Holmes avenue was fined $5 and costs with execution suspended, in the charge of ‘assaulting H. Tep- per, proprietor of a store at 594 | West Main street. Lambert was represented by Judge W. F. Mangan, who sald Lambert was fully justified in strik- ing Tepepr, who deserves no con- sideration from the court. According to the testimony, Lam- bert sent a 10 year old girl to Tep- I per's store and the girl returned and told him Tepper made a disparag- ing remark about Lambert's wife. |This angered Lambert and he went to the store with the child, who, in Tepper's presence, repeated the alleged remark, whereupon Lambert punched Tepper and knocked him to the floor. When Tepper arose Lambert punched him again. Later, accord- ing to Lambert, Tepper called him vile names but. Lambert kept his hands off, fearing he would kill him. Lambert gave a dramatic demon- stration of the beating he gave Tep- er Prosecuting Attorney Woods call- ed the court's attention to Tepper's denial of the charge of passing the alleged remark. The cause of the ill feeling between Lambert and Tepper is a ggocery bill owed by Lambert. . Lambert had no right to take the law in his hands. Law and order exist here and nobody has the right to ‘go into another person's place and commit an assault. Justice Roche said he believes Lambert's story and although the circumstances do not justify. the as- sault, Tepper should not have mads the alleged remark especially to a 10 year old girl. The case of Joseph Montoyani, aged 23, of Kensington, charged with speeding as the result of an ac- cident in which Joseph Gola, aged of South Main strect, was seri- ously injured, last Monday evening, on South street, was long drawn out. Attorney David L. Dunn repre- sented Montovani, who pleaded not gulity. Justice Roche discharged Monto- vani, saying there appears to be a reasonable doubt that the epeed laws were violated. According to thes testimony, a truck was backing out of a nearby driveway when Montovani drove.by.

Judge Mangan said there is no question that Murphy was intoxicat- ed and it is well known that the court has been sentencing intoxicat- ed drivers to jail, but the circum- stances surrounding this case appear to justify suspension of the jail sen- tence. > Officer Thomas J. Feeney testi- fled that Murphy's car collided with a car driven by Anton O. Nelson of Farmington avenue, this city, at Gillette's corner on Hartford road, about 10 o'clock last Saturday night.

He called the officer vile names, a “wop” and oher things. The officer told him not to be “a thick Polack” and come along peaceably. Skingor re- fused and a souffle ensued inside the store, during which Skingor's wife and 13 years, old son interfer- ed with the officer, according to the latter. The officer's trousers were torn in the scuffle. Skingor testified that when the officer spoke to him about start- ing the fire he went to Mrs. Fred- ericks and apologized, telling her he wished she had spoken to him about the fire before she complain- ed to the officer. He asked the of- ficer the law concerning bonfires and the officer told him, but later, to be certain, he called the officer to ask him again. The officer arrested him but he was excited and did not want to go with the officer. The officer at- tempted to strike him, whereupon Mrs. Skipgor interfered. The of- ficer's trousers were torn on the door knob, Skingor said. Skingor told the officer to tele- phone for the patrol from the store if he wished to, but he wouldn’t walk to a police box. The officer would not do so, saying he had no money to telephone. Sking- or offered him the money and fin- ally Mrs. Skingor telephoned. Mrs, Skingor testified that she interfgred when the officer raised his nightstick to strike her hus- band. Prosecuting Attorney Woods flayed Skingor, calling him “an un- ruly ruffian,” who has been in po- lice court many times. The officer was doing his duty and Skingor and bis wife attempted to tell him how to. do it: Skingor had no right to resist and use vilp language. . When placed under arrest Skingor should have gone with the officer. The offi- cer was in full uniform. Skingor, though, would not go. He tried to dictate how the officer should do his duty. Mrs. Skingor, too, took a hand in the scuffle by interfering with the officer. Attorney Golon replied that while he has not any information relative to Skingor's police record, he does not believe it is a bad record. He would not have been arrested had he not called the officer a “wop.” According to the testimony, Skingor did not use that term until the offi- cer called him “a thick Polak.” Skingor had a perfect right to re- sist the officer's attitude and lan- guage. “The trouble with some of these policemen is that as soon as they get the brass buttons on they become too officious,” ‘Attorney Golon said. Justice Roche sald he belleves a breach of the peace was committed and, " while the officer's judgment courts, he contended. JOSEPH ZUK FINED UNDER BUILDING LAW 4Continued From Page 1) Zuk had made a deposit at the in- spector's office for a permit. The attorney said he does not question the straightforwardness —of Mr. Rutherford's story but Mr. Zuk also is to be believed. The fact that he made " deposit of $18 for a’ permit shows he had no intention of evad- ing the law. Mr. Woods sald the deposit was not made until Zuk learned he was detected in his vio- lation of the ordinance.
