WYSTERY IN THEFT OF NOYES PURSE Men Accuse Each Other, Judge — “I may be making a mistake Judge M. D. Saxe said in police court today, as he discharged Thom- as Broske, 3¢ of 338 Main street and an Sattler, 38, of 61 Main street, ‘'who were charged with theft of $12 from Carl Noyes of 225 South Main ptreet, “but I am not satisfied that either of these men saw any. thing definitely. The evidence is not convincing and 1 will give benefit of the doubt.” Sergeant P. J. O'Mara, who ar- rested both men last evening, testi- fied that Noyes complained yester- day forenoon that he had been “rolled” on Myrtle street Sunday afternoon. He accused Broske, who is a former police ool pigeon” in liquor cases, and Broske accussed Battler. ‘Sattler, after being arrest- od, accused Broske. Purse Taken From Pocket Noyes teatified that he was walk- ing along Myrtls street about ¢ e'clock Sunday afternoon and a man took his pocketbook out of his hip pocket. There was one $10 bill and two $1 bills, besides & 50 cent piece and smaller change in it. The pickpocket took out the bills and threw the pocketbook to the ground. Noyes picked it up and followed the fellow up Myrtle street asking him for the $12, Thinking he would return it, Noyes made no complaint plaint to the police until yesterday. Asked to identify the pickpocket, he said-he “thought” it was Rroske. Broske Accuses Sattler Broske denled the accusation and said he saw Battler steal the pocket- book. They were in a Grove street store with Noyes, who was so intoxi- cated he could not stand up, accord- ing to Broske, and the storekeeper ordered them to leave. Broske sug- gested to Noyes that he go behind the atore and rest so he would not be picked up by the police for drunkenness. Sattler followed him and rcmoved the pocketbook from Noy pocket in plain view of Broske, he said. Sattler {n turn accused DBroske, He declared he saw the latter take Noy into the alleyway leading from Myrtle street to the rear of the Stanley Building, and with a deft movement of the fingers snatch something out of Noyes' hip pocket. He could not tell whether it was a pocketbook, but it was thrown to the ground by Broske, who then hurried out of the alleyway and up Myrtle sireet. sattler Makes Emphatc 5 1l “Honest to God in Heaven,” Sat. tler exclaimed when questioned by Prosecuting Attorney Woods, “I did not take it. 1 was about 10 feet eway from them and I saw itall. T was on my way home to bathe my hand as it was aching.” Plainly puzzled by the conflicting stories, Judge Baxe recalled Broske to the witness stand and questioned him as to his means of livelihood and his habits in general. Broske declared he had never heen arrest- od and for the paat three weeks he has worked for the city. He was wounded in the World War and re-| ceives compensation from the gov ernment, he said. Mr. Woods accus- ed him of drinkiug heavily byt he denied it, admitting, however, that he drank when someone treated him to cider. Sergeant O'Mara testified that he has seen Broske about Grove and Lafayette streets consid- erably. Prosccuting Attorney Woods as- serted that there was sufficient evi. dence before the court to justify a bind over to superior court. There ‘was no evidence but Noyes was rob. bed and it was a case of “when thieves fall out honest men come into their own,” he said. Judge Baxe pointed out, however, that the evidence was meagre anl Broske was before the court with- out a previous record, while the enly trouble Sattler was ever in was miner. Taking all the circum- stances into consideration he felt ebliged to give them the benefit of the doubt. Row Over Blondes John Lascovitch, 38, of 81 Church street, was fined §5 without c on the charge of breach of the peace and assaulting Ignatz Gerent of 16 Btar street, He pleadea not guilty and accused Gerent of striking him first and without reason. Datective Sergeant Ellinger, whe made the arrest, testified t! Las- covitch *kidded” Gerent about be. ing In New York recently and pay- ing attention to attractive “blondes.” This started an argument between hem and blows were exchanged. Frank Paryka of 137 North street testified that Lascovitch struck Ger- ent in the face. He did not know what started the trouble but in his eopinien Laacovilch was “too fresh." Gerent testified that he was minding his own affairs at the cor- ner of Washington and Myrtle streets yesterday when Lascovitch, INSIST ON ' THE GEnyyy who has made a practice of annoy- ing him for a year or more, struck him in the face and made him “sick inside the head.” Lascovitch's story was that he spoke to Gerent, addressing him as “Charley” be- cause he did not know his name, and Gerent immediately started to drag him over to the traffic police- man to have him arrested. Lasco- vitch was on his way to work in the Corbin 8crew factory and he re- monstrated, but Gerent kept pulling him and finally struck him. - In retaliation, he said, he struck Gerent in the face but he did not “squeeze the fingers,” meaning he did not close his fist. Alleged Overicaded Trwck Nils Johnson, 34, of Queen street. Bouthington, churged with overload- ing a truck, had hias case continued until tomorrow. Prosecuting Attor- ney Woods told the court he allow- ed Johnson to go on his own recog- nisance as the contents of the truck was of a perishable nature. Officer Alfred Tanguay made the arrest this morning: Everardo Pandolfo, ¢0, of 3§ Barnett street, charged with driving without a license and violating the rules of the road, had his case con- tinued until tomorrow. Walter Brodin, 37, pleaded gullty to the charge of drunkenness and was committed to the state farm. He was arrested by Officers John M. Liebler and Willlam P. Hayes atop a freight car in “The Pit” on Myrtle street yesterday forenoon. Judge e remarked that he did not care to hear from Brodin as he had given him a chance last week when he suspended execution of a commitment to the state farm. Court Finds Spouse Cruel, Allows Divorce Mrs. Mary Keating Flenke was granted a divorce today from Charles Flenke, Connecticut Co. employs, charged with being intolerably cruel. Flenke, about one year ago, sought to divorce his wife on grounds of misconduct, the judz- ment of the court being in her f: or at that time. 8he then brought the cross-complaint, charging that her husband had abused her during the period of their residence at 447 Arch street. The plaintiff, who was represented by Attorney Thomas . McDonough, was given permission to resume her maiden name. Frederick Denies He Made Shooting Report George Frederick of Slater road. whose name was given by the person who called police headquarters Sat- urday night and reported that, bul- lets were being fired on Slater road, sald today he knew nothing of the incident until he saw the policemen near his house. He called at police hendquarters and newspaper offices to have the report that he had com- plained corrected. Mr. Frederick said he was reposing on a lounge for some time prior to the arrival of the police. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS 'y, “How the old folks will enjoy it, “They will sit all night and listen.” Bounds familiar, of course, but in this case the silhouette editor isn't thinking of his old quartet selection, but of Isadore Birnbaum, the sub- ject of last night's sjlhouette.

Solis continued to drum. anything he drummed louder. The cowboy sighed, drew a long revolver and fired four shots into the offending headgear. One of the bullets glanced and struck J. J. Vizza, innocent bystander, in the hand. Glancing leisurely about the cafe, which appeared suddenly to be depopulated, the cowboy de- parted. Solis followed, but was render ed hors de combat shortly, when the nervous cowpuncher turned and shot him in the leg. No trace of the “bad man" has been found.
