H. Milkowitz, who entered a plea of nolo contendere, There was not suf- ficient gasoline in the car for the trip, and Hirst was obliged to walk several miles to camp, the attorney said, thereby defeating his intention of having his mother arrange for the return of the car to this city. The car was found abandoned, but not damaged. In the meantime, Hirst was arrest- ed in Hartford for theft and yester- day he was released after having served three months, Detective Ser- geants McCue and Ellinger brought | him here for trial, and Mr. Green- | stein asked that the local court take Jurisdiction and impose a jail sen- tence of 30 to 60 days. Attorney Milkowitz asked that the sentence be | suspended, but Judge Roche would ! not do so, pointing out that the charge was serious and but for the recommendation of Mr. Greenstein that jurisdiction be taken, a probable cause finding with a bind over to su- perior court would have been ine- vitable. Struck In Self Defense Judge W. I, Mangan, representing Alexander Huck, aged 33, of 326 Church street, convinced Judg: oche that \he element of self d fense was present when Huek punch- €d William Marno of 308 Church street during an argument over money in a crap game Sunday, and Huck was discharzed.

Huck testificd that he spent nine months in a hos- pital some years ago as the result of | stab wounds and naturzlly he has ever since had a mortal dread of a knife. Marno owed him $1 but | would not pay it, Huck declared. When he demanded it, Marno made \ the suspicious miove and Huck | punched hin. Later, Huck cun- vinced Marno of his debt and me; latter paid it. Mr. Greenstein contended that the | awult was not justified.

He did not follow up the at- tack, Judge Mangan pointed out, but simply offered a defense. Judge Roche agreed that Huck was within his rights, his action coming well within the bounds of self de- fense as set forth in the Connecti- | cut statutes, Non-Support Case The case of James Stewart, col- | ored, aged 35, was continued until | | tomorrow, Judge Roche saying thei was a question of jurisdiction.

Common Comma Misused; Causes Many Law Tangles Madison, Wis., Aug. 28. (P —1IL. E. Brossard, reviser of state statutes, blames much of the difficulty in interpreting laws upon the scarcely | noticed but popular comma. | The comma’s weakness in pune- | tuation is its strength in legal con- fusion. The revisers of statutes are au- | thorized to clarity the construction | of sentences in the law, but must not disturb the meaning. They find the comma the most misused mark and the one that occupies their at- | tention the mosf Ink stains can be removed by | first washing the fabric in vinegar and afterwards in a solution of one tablespoon of oxalic acid in five tablespoons of water.
