According te the complaint made to the first s. lectman, the building literally \i- brated when the floor became crowded with dancers, showing the place to be unsafe and dangerous for public use. A good-sized crowd was in attendance and it was soon inoticed that the floor shook while the dancing was going on. According to the complaint, the building is unsafe and the public is endangered whenever the hall is crowded. All during the entire even- ing 8aturday, the vibrations contin- ued and fear was expressed con- cerning the safety of those in at- tendance. Belectman Simpson received word of the alleged poor condition of the building this morning and witl wmt the matter in the hands of the building inspector. In the complaint it was also stated that there is only one exit from the hall, making it & virtual death trap in case of a fire or other trouble. The front stairs offer the only way of leaving the place and these are very stcep, 80 that in case of emergency they would prove to be of little value.

Murphy Dead—Seven Escape When Cab Overturns—Endees Win Again, A jail sentence of six months anJd fines totaling $125 were imposed by Judge William J. Malone in police court this morning on John Vanoni of Allentown road. Vanoni's disrc- spect for the police and courts in general was a contributing factor in the severe penalties imposed and an additional jail sentence of 30 days for contempt was “washed out” Ly the court when Vanoni apologized for certain remarks made during the trial, Vanoni was sentenced to six months for breach of the peace, § and costs for reckless driving, $25 and costs for driving without an op- erator’s license, and $50 for impra- per registration. A charge of oper- ating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor was dropped. ¥rank Eichorn, a brother-in-law of the accused, testified that on February 11, Vanoni, in company with two other men, visited his home on Henry court. Vanoni, he told the court, was drunk, and after he had refused to leave the house, Kichorn notified the police. Detec- tive Sergeant Daniel McGillicuddy and Supernumerary Policeman Dew- ey Carpenter arrived at the Kichora residence just as Vanoni was enter- ing his car. Then followed a wild chase down Mellen street, Riverside avenue, Middle street, and Brick street, where the pursuit was abau- doned because of the condition of the roads. To clude the Vanoni drove his car at a speed in excess of 60 milcs an hour, accord- ing to Sergeant McGillicuddy. 8ince the time of his escape, Va- noni had kept clear of the city until last Saturday night wnen he visited his “girl friend” ncar the Water- bury bridge on Terryville road. His presence there was made known to the police and Sergeant llenry Jeg- linski and Officer William Thomp- son placed him under arrest. When searched at police headquarters, jclippings from newspapers recount- ing his escape from the officers last ,Monday were found in his pockets. Vanoni, when asked if he wishced {0 say anything to' the court, de- ivered a lengthy oration after plead- g not guilty to all charges. He in- formed Judge Malone that his broth- er-in-law, Eichorn, wa:. In “fog" and that he would like to “take a rap at him.” He told of his being “shacked” by the police last Mon- day and it was at this point that Judge Malone remarked that he was somewhat at a loss to understand Just what language he (Vanoni) was speaking. Vanoni's answer that “it was too bad” was the one which in- voked the contempt sentence and the subsequent apology on Vanoni’'z part.
