" INBURGLARY CASE Bt Jndge Holds Laskowski lor Provented by the rules of evidence frem introducing an alleged confes- slon -by Stanley Killian, in which Charles Laskowski, aged 21, of 43> Burritt street, was implicated in the burglary at Joseph Konic's store at 67 Orange street on May 31, 1927, Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods nevertheless succeeded up & case against Laskowski in po- lice court today and Judge M. D. Saxe found probable cause and bound him over to the March term of superior court in $1000 bonds. Attorney Cyril F. Gaffney, represent- ing Laskowski, claimed that the state had failed to connect the! young man with the burglary, but| Judge Saxe said he felt that al- though there was probably not suf- ficlent evidence before him to mak: a finding of guilty beyond a reasor able doubt, a sufficlently strong case for a bind over had been made out. Laskowski was not called to testify, Sergeant P. J. O Mara that he and Sergeant P. investigated the report of testified b3 lary at Konic's store, and in a mom‘ at 69 Orange street they recovered a quantity of pressed ham, a chicken and some money, while in the they found cigarettes. Konic identi- fled all the articles as having been stolen from his store. The money amounted to $12.50, he said. On in- formation given by Henry Laskow- ski, brother of Charles, the sergeants drove to the foot of Pinnacle moun- tain, near the Farmington town lin: and came across Killian and La kowski, reclining in the shade of a| trec. Sergeant McAvay scized !\H lian and Sergeant O'Mara tricd apprehend Laskowski but his ho. was not strong enough and quarry ran through the woods. Ser- geant O'Mara said he fired three or four shots in the air, not wishing to injure Laskowski, but the latter did not heed the bullets and made escape. Clothing in the room at 69 Orange | street was identified as that of Las-| kowskl, the sergeant testified, and from the appearance of the bed and the room in general, at least two persons had slept there. There were numerous cigarette stubs about the | floor and the bed clothing was dis- turbed. The police had information that elther Mr. or Mrs. Laskowski intended to move into the room, as they had not Dbeen living on the best of terms. As the weeks passed, Laskowski did not make his appearance in New Rritain, so far as the authoritio were able to learn, and Killian was bound over to superior court where he was given a suspended sentence. He has since been arrested apd committed to an institution in New York, according to information re- celved here, and for that reason he was not available as a wilness against Laskowski. Denies Implication in Letter Some time after Laskowski's es- cape, Sergeant O'Mara reccived a letter which the young man had written to his sister and the latter had re-posted to the sergeant. At- torney Gaffney read the letter, after which he agreed to have it admitted a8 evidence provided the state would be bound by its contents. Prosecut- ing Attorney Woods said he would be bound by everything it contained, and proceedéd to read it. It disclosed | that Laskowski wanted the sefgeant to return to him a revolver, watches, a pocketbook and similar articles which, he sald, were rightfully his property, He told where he obtain- ed them, and relative to the Konic burglary, he wrote that he was in- toxicated in the rear of an automo- bile when it was committed and had no part in It. The reason he ran | from Bergeant O'Mara was that he had been arrested a short time be- fore May 31 on the charge of viola- tion of the liquor jaw and he did not | want to have his name in the news- papers again, when he was innocent of any connection with the burglary, according to his letter. Sergeant P. A. McAvay corrobor- ated Sergeant O'Mara’s testimony | and told of Laskowski's arrest a few weeks ago. Having received i formation that the young man was at home, Sergeant McAvay stationed Officer M. J. Moore at the front door while he went to the rear. He had the warrant but he did not serve it | until Laskowskl had been cornered | on the third floor, having run out of his own tenement apparently in an attempt to escape. After Konis had testified that he believed entrance to the store had been gained by use of a key, Af- torney Gaffncy moved for a dis- charge on the ground that Laskow- ski had not been connected with the burglary. The case lacked the cs- sential elements of burglary, he con- tended.

Prosecuting Attorney Wood: claimed that there was sufficient evi- superior court. He stressed the fact that stolen goods had been found in the young maun’s room, and in hll of any connection with it. asked for $1,000. Attorney Gaffney | |sald the present bond is $500 and | Laskowski had returned to New Brit- ain of his own volition. Mr. Woods was agreeable to 2 $500 bond but Judge Saxe said he felt §1,000 should be posted. Must Support Child William Swanson, aged 24, of 738 | East strect, pleaded guilty to the | charge of non-support and was or- dered to pay §5 a week to Probation Ofticer Connolly for the support of his 2 1-2 year old child. The case was continued for three weeks un- | der this order, Judge Saxe prefer- | Iring not to order a bond posted be- |cause Swanson said he did not be- |lieve he could raise a bond and | Judge Saxe wanted him to hold the ob he started on last Saturday. Should he fail to make payments | during the next three weeks, he will |be obliged to post a bond or go to | jail. Probation Officer Connolly testi- fled that Mr. and Mrs. Swanson do |not live together and the child is in la foster home, Mrs. Swanson is em- ployed in a hospital in Hartford and | |receives $8.50 a week and her board. {She wants support for the child | Swanson gave similar testi- he cost of boarding the | \cln]d is §5 a week, she said.
