T 30 DAYS IN JIL FORKNIFE WIELDER Sarra Found Guilty of Catting| La Flamme, Fellow Worker A fall sentence of 30 days was fin- | posed on Giovanni Sarro, aged 38| years of 90 Beaver street, on the charge of assault with a dangerous | weapon, by Judge Roche in:police | court this morning. The case was the outgrowth of the stabbing of | l.co La Flamme of 9§81 Stanley| street on April 23 as both were | working on a grading contract nnl Brookside avenue, beyond Ten | Acre Road. | Bonds for appeal were fixed at $300. Miss Angela Lacava and At-| torney Lawrence J. Golon appeared | for Sarra and attempted to ahow: that La Flamme caused the stab-| bing by running against Sarra's| knife while attempting to kick its| owner. | After Sergeant Feeney testified to making the arrest and Dr. 8. V. Irving described the wound as heingi 1 1-2 inch long, 1 1-2 inch deep, ex- tending to the bone and severing| a muscle in the left thigh. ],a‘ Flamme testified that Sarra attack- | ed him after there had been con-| siderable banter back and forlh.l | Questioned by Attorney Golon, La| g Flamme admitted he had thumbed | his nose to Sarra. | He also admitted that he Kkicked | Sarra. He denied that he had threatened to throw Sarra into a .buddle of water. ! Griffen Heslin, who was working with Sarra and La Flamme testi- fied that they were swearing at rach other but they did not seem to be serious. Sarra ran over to La Ilamme and took something out of | his pocket and lunged at La| I'lamme. The latter ran and then | Heslin saw that Sarra had a knife in his hand. Frank Diggs, colored, of Clayton Road. testified that he saw little of | the troube that preceded the stab- bing but he heard the principals | talking about seeing each other aft- er work. Sarra testified that La Flamme | took his wheelbarrow and prevented | him from working. La Flamme was | annoying him by calling him vile | names and attempting to take his| shovel from him. La Flamme also | put his fists up as if to strike him. Asked by Miss Lacava the reason he had the knife in his possession, Sarra replied that he used it every day to cut bread and fruit when cating his lunch and he had no in- tention of stabbing La Flamme. The reason he took out the knife was that he wanted to keep La Flamme away from him. | Prosecuting Attorney Woods ask- | ed that Sarra be severely punished. | Tho act was a malicious one and | was entirely without justification. | Sarra not only stabbed La Ilamme in the thigh but he at- tempted to drive the keen edged knife through his shoulder. Sarra deserves to be sent to jail. Attorney Golon argued that Sarra was provoked by La Flamme and other men working near him. The evidence shows that La Flamme | thumbed his nose at Sarra, an act that very likely constituted an in- sult, in Sarra’s understanding. Sarra had no intention of stabbing anyone, Attorney Golon said. Con- trary to the impression the prose- cuting attorney is attempting to | which she had give, the Incident was not a nnr‘ Judge Roche imposed a fine o!‘there!oro ordered to murder and as a matter of fact if La Flamme bad not attempted to kick Sarra while the latter had the knife, he would not have been cut. There is no question of the provo- cation, the attorney said. It has been held that a person is not obliged to permit another to put his fists up to his face withou showing resentment, he claimed. Judge Roche said he was con- | vinced that Sarra was provoked by 1 La Flamme and because of this ele- ment of the case he would not in- flict as heavy a penalty as he would otherwise impose. However, it ap- peared that luck rather than good sense prevented the case from being one of manslaughter. The provocation did not justify | Sarra’s chasing and amme, he remarked. Estranged Couple Have Quarrel John Costello, aged 42, of Jamaica street, Bristol, pleaded not guilty to charges of drunkenness and breach of the peace. He said he went to the home of his wite, from whom he is separated, and asked her for two insurance policies agreed to leave in the office of an insurance company. He was not Intoxicated, he said, and he did not make a disturbance. He has not been in court in a year and he said he will leave New Britain at once if given a chance. Scrgeant Feeney testified that he arrested Costello about 7 o'clock last evening at 133 Main street on complaint. Every time he is intoxi cated he causes a disturbance a his wife's home, the sergeant testi- attacking La fied. Judge Roche imposed a fine of $5 and costs on the charge of drunken- ness and a suspended jail sentence of 30 days on the charge of breach of the peace, $100 for Transporting Wine Edward Maietta, aged 19, of 31 Franklin street, who pleaded not guilty when arraigned yesterday on charges of operating an automobile without a license, and transporting wine by means of an automobile, changed the plea to nolo contendere and was represented by Miss Angela Lavaca,( who said Maietto did not intend to sell the wine but was conveying it to the home of the owner. { Relative to his failure td have his operator's license, he has been out of employment of late and did not| have enough money to pay for the renewal of his license this year, Mis Lacava said. He did realize the seriousness of offense, Miss Lacava said. the not | {8100 and costs on the charge of | transporting. wine. On the other | charge, he imposed a fine of $3 and | suspended execution. Woman Seller Fined $100 Mrs. Nellle Karleowicz, aged 40, of 677 Erwin Place, was fined $100 i and costs tor violation of the liquor aw and a nolle was entered in the case of Frank Saltus, aged 32, of the | same address, who was similarly | charged. Attorney B. J. Monkie- wicz entered a plea of guilty for the woman and asked for leniehcy. He sald her husband deserted her and | she is trying to support five chil- dren. | Sergeant Stadler testified that he ianr] Officer Flynn and Cabelus | seized three gallon jugs of liquor in a closet in Saltus’ tenerfient and {some more in Mrs. Karleowicz's tenement about 10:35 Sunday night. There was a party in the latter ! tenement and several men and wom- (en were there. Mrs. Karleowicz claimed ownership of all the liquor and said she bought it for $40 on Saturday, the sergeant testified. | She kept it in Saltus’ tenement on the third floor and took it into her own tenement as she needed it. Prosecuting Attorney Woods said ! he was willing to merge two counts into one, in view of the plea of guilty, but he objected to the plea of poverty, as he has been told the woman owns property., Sergeant | Stadler, by permission of the court, | said the woman told him the pro- | perty was in her name. She refused o tell the price she charged for the | liquor. A Walter Gudlewicz, aged 32, of 28 | Lasalle ‘street, was fined $10 and | costs for assaulting Mike Majewski | of 57 Erwin Place. He was arrested | during the liquor raid. He said he was at the party and Majewski made a disparaging remark con- cerning the hostess. Forgot His License | Salvatore Esposito, aged 30, an | employe of the state hospital at | Middletown pleaded guilty to the | charge of operating an automobile without a license. He said he i neglected to have his license with him. Motorcycle Officer Strolls tes- | tified that Esposito drove against the one-way traffic on Maln street shortly before noon yesterday and was unable to produce his license. Judge Roche imposed a fine of $10 and suspended execution of the sentence.
