Attorney Aharonian, mak- ing his first appearance in police court as defense counsel, did not call Balek to refuse the women's allega- tions and Judge Roche made a find- ing of guilty on the charge of breach of the peace and fined the tailor $10 1 costs. e first witness, Mrs. 17 years old, of €41 Alice Mer- Prospect t, testified that she obtained em- | ployment last Tues swered an advertisement for a seam- at Balek's place. She re- ned there until Friday, when her iployer kissed her and otherwise 1 his attentions on her, at one 1tempting to pull off her dress, id. He also told her on his 1, that he had just an in a hotel room, smoking es and displaying r charn The witness said she rebuked him tor boasting of it and replied that she should follow or nobody would ke me.” M has been married two years examined by Attorn tharonian, she partook of ca ay, having an- Meref Cross brought in by Balek and she also made up his bed in the rear of the tatlor shap, but she had been told by him that her duties included the chore. She denied that she had asked Balck for arti- cles of clothing, but declared that {cne of the first things he had her do | when she entered his employ was to remove her dress, which he pressed. He also called her attention to a rip {in lier stocking, and offered to re- {pair it for her but she told him she could attend to it unassisted. Laura Taylor, colored, of 30 Columbia street, testified that she went to the tailor shop to have her coat cleaned, pressed and shortened, |and while she was explaining the job to Balek, he put his hands on her in a manner that intentlons, in her opinion. e warned him *not to get fresh d then there was a dispute about the price of the work. He wanted $2.50 and she was willing to pay $2. Finally, he agreed to do it at her price but when she went to get the {coat he tried to charge her $3.00, she said. Attorney Aharonian asked Taylor if it was not true that Balek's haid had slipped and touched her while he was measuring |the length of the coat, and she re- plied with emphasis that she was 1"no child” and she knew the differ- [ence between an accidental touch and an intentional caress. | Sergeant John C. Stadler testificd [that he arrested Balek after Mrs | Mercier had told her story in Balck's | presence in the detective bureau Sat- |urday afternoon. Balek, when ques- |tioned alone, denied the accusations {and when confronted by Mrs. Mer- cier, told the sergeant the latter |could not prove her story. | Attorney Aharonian contended that there was not sufficient evi- dence to prove the charge but if the Miss |be placed on probation. He said indicated improper | | Mrs. Mercier was not entirely blame %] |less while working for Balek, and it was significant that she remained in {his employ four days without com- | | plaining.

Bugnicki, in his own defense, said felt he had the right to talk to his wife and he did not like the place she was working, Yesterday, she failed to keep an appointment with him at a local theater, so he went to her aunt's home and insisted on seeing her. In reply to Judge Rodhe he admitted having had “a few drinks” before going there. Judge Rocte told him he had no right to in- terfere with his wife or dictate to her concerning her empioyment, in- asmuch as he does not svpport her. Nye Accepts Denial Of Governor Smith Washington, March 21 (UP)— Governor Smith's denial of receiving any campaign contributions from Harry F. Sinclair must be accepted as “disproving any charge which has been made,” Senator Gerald P. Nyc said. The New York governor's letter was expected to reach here today. “It is a good flat statement that anyone ought to be able to accept as | final. Knowing Smith, we must ac- cept this statement as disapproving any charge which has beem made that he was the recipient of any con- tributions from Mr. Sinclair,” Nyc said.
