Sergeant O'Mara and Officer Kiely WS, MAIETTA HELD FOR HIGHER GOURT Bound Over a5 Thind Oflender in Liquor Case Mrs. Concetta Maietta, aged 26, of 112 Lafayette street, was bound over to the December term of su- perior court in $500 bonds as a third oftender against the liquor laws, by Judge H. P. Roche, in police court today. The alleged violations were com- nitted in a store conducted by Mrs. Maietta and her husband, Andrew Maietta, at 107 Lafayette street, on | October 13, and the evidence was | chtained by Harry Sheremeta of ¢ | Union street, a police “agent.” | Yesterday the trial was about to | start when Assistant Prosecuting At- torney W. M. Greenstein notified the | court that Sheremeta had been in- |timidated and assaulted and for | that reason the state was desirous of rroceeding at once, but Attorney Thomas F. McDonough was unable |to do so because of business in | Hartford. | Judge Roche eordered a continu- lance until today for an investigation into the alleged assnult but no men- |tion was made of it today. Super- | numerary Officer Janaitis left a re- | port that Sheremeta complained to him that he had bheen threatencd about 7:30 last night and about 4 p. m. Wednesday and he demanded po- lice protection. | At the outset of the trial Prosecut- | ing Attorney Woods sprung a sur- prise by adding a count charging a violation on the afternoon of Octo- ber 13.

Maietta took the money. Although there were several persons in the store, the “agent” picked out Mrs. Maietta with no hesitation, Officer Kiely said. Mrs. Maietta frequently sits out- side the store until customers appear, |and then she follows them inside, around the place considerably, Officer Liebler gave similar testi- mony, adding that a man followed him out of the store and threatened the “agent.” He called him a “stool pigeon” and did not desist until Officer Liebler warned him that he might get into trouble.

Attorney McDonough crees-exzam- ined the “agent” at length en his connection with the police depart- ment, his early history and his method of ebtaining evidence. Prosecuting Attorney Woeds ob- jected to the question as to whether or not the “agent” was ever com- victed of any crime. He contended that it was a collateral {ssue and it the anawer was negative, nothing to contradict it would be permissible. Judge Roche admitted the ques- tion, although agreeing that it was a colateral issue, as did Attorney McDonough. “Were you ever convicted any- where of any crime in your life?™ Attorney McDenough asked. “Yes, I was" the “agent” plied. “What was the crime?” the at- torney pursued. “The crime of drunkenness,” was the reply. “You're a drinking man, are you not,” the attorney asked. “I like a drink sometimes” be answered. In reply to Attorney McDonough, the “agent” saild a pint of liquer sometimes would last him a day or two but when he drinks hard, a pint does not last more than a few hours. As to the quality of the liquor he drank in the store the day in question, the “agent” sald, in re- ply to Attogney McDonough, that it was “pretty good." “Wouldn't Be Groggy” “If you put a pint bottle on your head and drained it, wouldn't it make you groggy?” the attorney asked. “No, I don't think it would,” was the reply. Sergeant O'Mara testified that he had seen Luclan Bienkowsk! sitting on the chalr in front of the store, “on watch,” and when the polico approached he puts his hand under Ithe fruit stand, where there is | button. Bienkowski uttered threatening remarks towards the ‘agent” the night of Oct. 13, the sergeant sald. Officers Thomas Woods and George Collins testified that the | store is patronized by men of drink- ing habits. Officer Woods sald he never saw the drinking men come |out of the store carrying bundles. ‘On‘icer Collins testified that he learned of the button and pressed it, | hearing & buzszer sound. | The defense called Officer Kiely |to the stand, Attorney McDonough saking him what the condition of the “agent” was when he handed over the bottle in the afternoon of Oct. 13. ro- OCTOBER 26, 1028 Maietta on the witness stand.

Croms-examined by Mr. Bienkowsk{ denied = that he was a “bottle toter” but admitted that he recently pleaded gullty to the charge of theft of a battery. He admitted that he called the “agent” a *stool pigeon.” “Why wouldn't I?" he countered. He had no knowledge of the but- ton and buszer referred to by the police, he sald, and he never was employed as a “lookout” by the Maiettas. A young woman clerk testified that she is employed in the store and was positive liquor is not han- dled there. The “agent” was not in the store the day in question, ahe Attorney . McDonough scored the “agent” as “a miserable being who sells human beings’ trust and con. fidence for gold’' as contrasted to police officers who tell the truth whether it hurts the state’s case or not. i The buszer in all probability was connected with the smoke shop next door, Attorney McDonough de- jclared. The Maletta store is legiti. {mate, he Insisted, but the police { have practically lived there because previous convictions have been ob- tained against the place and the same evidence as to reputation is offered every time. The case in this instance was ‘weak in that the police did not find one bit of liquor on the premises, nor did they recover either of the bills, All they had was the evidence of the “agent” who should not be depended on exclusively, It is the intention of the Maiettas to move thelr business away from the “beehive of booze joints” be- cause they are being accused of selling liquor on account of the reputation of the places at 109 and 122 Lafayette street, Attorney Mc- Donough sald. They were entitled to the benefit “He had been drinking," Officer | Kiely said. “Was he under the influence of 351 MAIN STREET ARKSON SAYS— MY STORE IS YOUR STORE I Want Every Man and Woman in NEW BRITAIN to Feel at Home in My Store WEEKLY Simply ask to have it charged to your account in small weekly payments— to pay at mo additional cost!
