Antonio Cavalieri, 55. of 52 Park street died at the Bristol hospital shortly before 7 o'clock last evening as a result of injuries received less than an hour carlier when he was struck at the intersection of West and School streets by an automobile operated by Arthur A. Brown of 233 Jacobs street. Following the accident, the injured man was removed to the Bristol hespital in Dunn’s ambulance but died without recovering con- sciousness. Brown was arrested on a charge of reckless driving, which was changed to manslaughter folldwing Cavalieri’s death. Upon the recom- medation of Prosecuting Attorney James T. Mather in police court this morning, the case was continued un. til Monday, November 26 by Judge Joscph M. Donovan. Judge 8. Rus. sell Mink appeared for Brown. According to information furni cd the police by witnesses, Cavalieri was crossing West street on the crosswalk on the south side of 8chool street’ when he was struck by Brown's automobile, which was be- ing opergied south on West street. It is also claimed that Brown dis- regarded the red target on the traffic signal when making the crossing. Cavalieri was dragged a distance of about ten feet and the investigation of Policeman James Keith, who arcived #n the scene im- mediately after the accident, indi- cated that the car had traveled a dis. tance of approximately 100 feet after striking Cavalieri. In driving the car to police Keith found the brakes on the car to be defective. Mr. Cavalieri was one of the first Italian immigrants to scttle in Bristol | and was the first to build a home in the Park street section when that tract was opened ‘up to home sites. He was a native of Ttaly and was married in that country to Miss Anna Poinatall. coming to this city 30 years 2g0. For a number of years he had been employed at the Dunbar Brothers factory.

Navickas is Fined A fine of $50 and costs was im- police court tos on Edward Navickas, proprietor of Albert's Filling Station at 2 1 Broad street, Forestville, on charges of keeping beer with intent to sell and reputation. His brother, George Navickas, was found not guilty on similar charges and discharged. A third count of machine was dismissed by the court against both men. The brothers were arrested by Sergeant Henry Jeglinski and Offi- cer William Thompson Tuesday aft- renoon on information furnished them by George White of 330 Main street. White informed the court this morning that he had purchased beer at the filling station on several previous occasions. Last Monday, celebrating Armistice day. he testi- fied that he again went to the gas station while under the influence of liquor and after having a few bottles of beer and playing the machine, fell asleep. When he awoke, ac- cording to his testimony. he counted his money and found that he had but £120 left, although he was sure that when he entered the place he had $246 with him. His testimony was discounted to a certain extent by the court hecause of his admis- sion that he was intoxicated when he arrived at Navickas' place of business. Judge S.

According to her story to the po- lice, ypon answering the frent door- bell, she was accosted by a young- ster about 12 years of age, whe in- tormed her he was soliciting sub- scriptions for a newspaper.

Several workmen located in an adjoining yard, noticed the boy enter the house bfit paid no attention to his action until the loss was made known. Detective Sergeant Daniel McGil. licuddy has been assigned to the | case by Chief Ernest T. Belden. Grapes Cause Argument The quality and price of grapey purchased by Michael Bante of | Tulip street were the primary |causes of an argument which teok place on Sunday evening, November 4, between Santo and Dominick Di- Pietro, a Tulip street storekeeper, tand resulted in Santo recelv- ing a beating which kept him con- fined to his bed for two days and {his house for almost a week. In ! court this morning DiPietro was "found guilty of breach of the peace and assault and fined $25 and costs. Santo was fined $10 and costs for drunkenness and breach of the peace. The - testimony as to the actual happenings prior to the fight was conflicting to some extent, although both admitted that they had dis- cussed grapes before any blows were struck. DiPietro admitted that he told Santo that the latter had been “stuck” when he paid $1.10 a basket for grapes, which he (Di- Pietro) could have sold him for 90 cents. Santo's main objection ap- parently was that DiPietro had made similar remarks to friends of both men and such remarks were i heard by Santo's wife. DiPletro tes- tified that Santo, when he entered the store on the Sunday night in | question, had been drinking and was “well fixed,” and that he called him’ (DiPietro) “Big Mouth” on several different occasions. Both mer, as the argument waxed warmer, became angry, and although both men ‘de- nied striking the first blowy, Santo was floored on two occasions, the |frst by a blow to his face, which inpm & tooth and forced it through his cheek, and the sccond time o« a blow which completely closed his right optic. His Injuries were such that he was given medical attention at police headquarters by Dr. B. B. Robbins, police surgeon. Attorney Joseph P. O'Connell ap- ared for DiPietro and Anthony J. Rich for Santo. Building Company Elects At a meeting of the stockholders of the Masonic Building company held last evening, the following di- 1ectors were elected for the ensu- Miles Lewis Peck, M.
