NIEZGODA FREED, PROVES AN ALIBI Man Accased of Transporting Says He Was at Theater Walter Niezgoda, 28, of 131 North street, pleaded guilty in police court today to the charge of operating an automobile without a license and was fined $20 and costs but was discharg- ed on the charge of transporting al- cohol by means of an automobile, setting up an alibi which had more weight with Judge M. D. Saxe than the positive identification of Officer William Grabeck, of Niezgoda as onc of the occupants of an automobile in which two five-gallon cans of al- cohol were seized Monday night. | Officer Grabeck testified that he and Officer Walter Wagner were in the rear of 137 Winter street about 10:15 o'clock on another case when two men drove up in an automobile | and started towards the yard, only to take to their heels at sight of the officers. In the car were the two cans of alcohol and Officer Grabeck was certain that Niezgoda was one of the men, the other fellow ap- pearing to be much younger. The officer knew Niezgoda as “Walter,” and described the clothes he was wearing. Ofticer Wagner had not seen Niez- goda until Monday it, she said, and when he saw him in the detec- tive bureau yesterday he was not certain of his identit but when Sergeant McCue had Niezgoda sume his natural stooped posture, Officer Wagner was positive he was one of the men who left the car The officer said Niezgoda had a dif- ferent cap in his hand yesterday than he had today. Spent Fvening With Wife Called to the witness stand by At- torney Thomas F. McDonough, Niez- goda testified that he and his wife ond her brother attended a local theater Monday night, going in be- iween 7:30 and § o'clock and com- ing out about 10:05. They went home and had lunch. retiring about 11 o'clock, and he did not leave the liouse in the meantime. He denied that he was on Winter street at 10:05, and he has not driven the ake of car figuring in the case, since he was employed as a chauf- feur for a liveryman some years ag0. Cross-examined by Assistant Pros? couting Attorney Greenstein, Nicz- goda described the movie program e saw, and was sure he did not stay | to see the feature picture twice. His| wife testified that they went to.the as- SALE BY ORDER OF COURT Pursuant to an _order of the Su-, perior Court for Hartford County, I will sell, at public auction, on the premises, on Friday, December 21st, 1928, at 2 o'clock P.

Her brother, who attends the State Trade school, gave similar | testimony. He was the last one to| retire Monday night and he was cer- | tain that his sister and her husband were at home. Attorney McDonough claimed that the state had not proven the trans- | porting charge, and he called the court's attention to the fact that N-| though Officer Wagner was certain | of a difference between the cap held by Niezgoda in court and that held by him yesterday in the detective bureau, the caps were one and the same because Niezgoda had not left the police station from the time of Lis arrest shortly before noon yes- terday. Lawyer Says Police Are Slipping Attorney McDonough made the point that the state should tell the court the name of the owner of the car, and Mr. Greenstein replied that the state was not obliged to do so. Attorney McDonough charged that the state was afraid to give the in- formation, to which Mr. Greenstein replied that the car is in the cus- tody of the police and if the owner claims it he will be prosccuted in the event that the police are able 0 show that he had any connection with the transporting of the alcolol. “They have had the car since Monday and here it is Thursday and they haven't got the owner yet. Just like the Rothstein case in New York. The police are slipping,” At- torney McDonough said. “I'd like to show that if these people were at the theater from 7:45 to 10 o'clock Monday night they 5 the feature picture more t once,” M censtein said, “I'd like to have someone from the theat here on that point.” “Well, there’s a young lady from the theater, right there,” Attorney McDonough said. pointing out Miss Burnitske of 961 Stanley strect, cashier at the theater. “I don’t know what she's going to say, but T'll call her,” Mr. Greenstein said, and the young woman took the stand. Girl Theater Cashicr Testifies In reply to questions, she said catures vary in length of time r juired to show them and as a gen- eral rule the last showing starts at o'clock and continues for about an hour and a half. How- ever, she said in reply to Attorne McDonough, it would entirely possible for the picture in question to have deviated from the average time requirement. After Judge Saxe found Niezgoda | not guilty of the transporting count, | Mr. Greenstein asked him to pas on the charge ving without a i has pleaded guilty and | the offic tell me that he has been | driving right along— he be- but Attorney McDonough in- terrupted and declared that it was infair to proceed in this vein. “Now just a minute,” Mr, Green-| stein answered. “Under a plea of | v the s say anything it wishes, and the defense can refuts| t if it cares to. | “The state also can produce the | records,” Attorney McDonough as serted. “Where are the motor ve-| hicle records?
