E PILIGENAN WINNER - AFTER LONG FIGHT (Continued from First Page) 2ér superior court in $5,000 bonds. Judge Saxe, fixing the bond at $3,000, said policemen who go about their duty meeting hazards and facing dangers are courageous and the officer in this case did ex- actly what any officer in the exer- cise of proper judgment would havs done. 4 Policeman Draws Gun Officer Cosgrove gave a graphic description of the fight and was submitted to a searching cross ex- amination by Attorney B. J. Mon- kiewies, who represented Grabow- ski. The officer testified that he was in a store at 24 Clark street about 5 o'clock when he saw a sedan driven by Charles Grabowski furn into a driveway below the store after having come down Clark street hill. Willlam Grabowski was in the rear seat. Going into the driveway, the offi- cer saw William get out carrying a five gallon can covered with a coat. Drawing his revolver, the officer commanded Grabowski to stop but instead he dropped the can and ran towards the rear part of the prop- erty. “Stop or I'll let you have it, the officer called and Grabows] ‘urned around and as he advanced towards the officer, muttered: “Cos- grove, you'll never take me alive *“Well, nobody wants to Kkill you, Billy,” the oificer answered and put his revovler back into his holster. Thréatens With Axe Picking up the can, the officer commanded Grabowski to precede him to the street but Grabowski re- fused. As the officer maneuvered around to lay hands on him without letting go of the can, Grabowski #parred with him and kept a dis- tance. The officer told him he would arrest him later if he escaped at the moment, and Garbowski sud- denly seized an axe which was near a pile of wood, and raising it up over his head, swung it in a down- ward arc, exclaiming with a vile phrase: “I'll give it to you.” *Oh, that's the way you feel about it is it.” the officer replied, stepping backwards out of the way of the axe and raising his nightstick to de- fend himself at the same time set- ting down the can. The axe struck the can, and broke a slit near the top, and Grabowski fled. Picking up the can, Officer Cos- grove walked across the strect to- wards Meehan's Monumental Works, intending to use the telephone to summon the patrol wagon. In the meantime, Charles Grabowski, who had not left the sedan, had driven away. As the officer reached the monumental works yard, William who had come out on Clark street and evaded him behind a truck jumped on him and the battle was 1l use pliers and in the handling, the bowski ran into the street.and be. fore the officer crossed tie street, they tagged each other about a park- ed truck but the officer was at a disadvantage on account of the can and Grabowski kept away from him funtil he jumped on him in Meehan's yard. “Fought Like Wildcat” “When did you first need help?" Attorney Monkiewicz asked the of- ficer. “I neaded help from the start,” !the officer replied. “He fought like a wildcat and I was nearly all in." The fight lasted 20 minutes, the of- ificer estimated, before Officer Cor- nelius Keough came along and Grabowskl was turned over to him. Later the patrol with other officers arrived. One handcuff was on Gra- bowski by that time. Cross examined as to the contents of the can, Officer Cosgrove sai he was positive it was filled with | alcohol. He did not hear it splash- | ing about as it probably would | have done had it been only partly | filled. He admitted, when asked if | the can in evidence was the one | the fight was over, that the cans used by liquor transporters resem- ble one another. “Some are dirticr | than others.” he said. | Find Alcohol in Can Officers John M. Licbler and E.| B. Kiely testified that the can tvas, turned over to them at police headquarters and they opened it to pour out what was left of the al- cohol. To do so it was necessary to | wire grip on top of the can was torn out of place. They denied that the can had been washed out with water before being brought into| court, and as for the absence of an odor of alcohol, which Attorney Monkiewicz stressed, they said it | was possible for the fumes to es- | cape on account of the can having been opened. The coat which was | {wound about the can was saturated with alcohol, they said. | Loring testified that he and a| man about 60 years of age were | passing through Clark street on | their way home from work and | saw Grabowski and Officer Cosgrove fighting in the monumental works yard. The officer called for help and Loring responded, his compan- fon holding back because of his age. “I got a couple of pokes f the jaw and I was going to qui Loring said. “Two or three ladies jumped on me and scratched my arms.” He saw a woman spill the contents of the can onto the ground, but he could not see her in court. Asked who hit him in the face, he picked out Grabowski. Some of Crowd “Yellow” Hannon testified that he was| passing and saw the crowd, so he leaped the fence “to see what's what.”” The officer commanded him to lend a hand and he pitched in. He created some merriment with his description of how he “put a grip” on Grabowski and the latter “stamped on my feet and of course 1 would not stand for that.” Asked on. From the officer's description and that of witnesses, it was one of the fiercest hand-to-hand fights a local policeman has been in for a long time. Tries to Get Cosgrove's Pistol As they came to grips, the officer w d’flp.mmk, striking Gra- ni: d:em the back of the head t Bot the blows had no effect -n’_’asu’ov-kx “fought like a wild- cat” ‘Reaching about the officer's walst, he took hoid of the revolver which was in a holster but the offi- cer broke his grip and shifted the pistol to his rear trousers pocket. The can, from which the fumes of alcohol emanated, according to the officer, was on the ground nearby and several persons in the crowd which was rapidly gathering at the scene were called upon by Grabow- ski to spill it. “Women Help Grabowski Two or three women in the crowd pitched in to help Grabowski and several men came to the officer's assistance but the women pulled them away. One man who was called on by the officer for assistance could not respond on account of an in- jured hand and the officer called on him to watch the can. During the battle, a woman spilled the contents of the can onto the ground, and when Grabowski was finally subdued, thers was only a small amount of aicohol left. Officer Cosgrove was scratched about the face, forehead, hands and his shirt was ripped to shreds. He said he was “nearly in” but kept on fighting. His ear was also injured. and Dr. Moses Kupelian attended him, The latter also attended John Loring of 43 Lawlor street and Mi- chael Hannon of 121 Putnam street, who came to the officer's assistance and were scratched by the women. Did Not Intend to Shoot Crom-examined by Attorney Mon- | kiewicz, Officer Cosgrove said he had no particular business in the store | and he denied that he had ever threatened to *“get” Grabowski. The reason he went into the driveway ‘with drawn revolver thought Grabowski might submit to arrest it he saw the weapon. He kad no intention of sheoting. he was that he | if others were called on to help, he said, “Yes, but they were yellow.” Monkicwicz Asks for arge After the state rested its case, At- torney Monkiewicz meved for a dis- charge on the ground that the can in cvidence had not been connected with the case beyond & question of doudbt Judge Saxe denied the mo- tion and told Prosecuting Attorney ‘Woods not to spend any time argu- ing that phase of the case, when Mr. Woods seemed about to make reply to the defense counsel. The first witness for the defense was Mrs. Stanislaws Wilczewski, 42, of 24 Clark street, who was arrest- | ed on the charge of resistance. She +aid she saw Grabowski once prior to last evening. She saw the fight and took no part in it other than to pull Loring off Grabowski after he Lad struck the latter 15 times. Reports Seven Against One Mrs., Bertha Kaczmarczyk of 54 Union street testified that she was passing the scene of the fight and saw Officer Cosgrove strike Gra- Lowski on the head twice with his nightstick. “The screams were ter- rible,” she said. “Seven men had ahold of the man and they were killing him. I ran over and told one man to assist the officer if he wanted to but not to be striking the other man. Why, you could not see him, there were s6 many on top of Lim, still they kept on hitting him and hitting him. Oh, it was awful, and then as the people were coming out of Landers factory on their way | home from work about 15 or 20 rroups began fizhting among them- | selves.” Mrs, Kaczmarczyk said she did not know Grabowski and had | not scen what took place in the rear | said. He denied that he called Gra bowski a “skunk” and he likewise denfed that he had threatened to lay ' in wait for him after he was dis charged in a case in court some time ago. Asked by Attorney Mon- ! kiewicz about the axe wielding in- cident, the officer said he presumed Grabowski meant to strike him. He BOOTT MILLS CURTAINS denfed that he had challenged Gra- | boweski to “let's go to it” just before Grabowski seized the axe. Woods and Monkiewicz Tilt 95(: Pair At this point, Attorney Monkie- | wicz and Prosecuting Attorney ‘Woods had a tilt, and Mr. Woods waved aloft the police record card in Grabowski’'s name and asserted that of all the times Grabowski had been arrested, Officer Cosgrove's name had not figured in a single entry “And you are attacking his integ- “rity,” he exclaimed to the defense counsel. “I'm getting sick of it. Good and sick of it.”" Judge Saxe remark- ed that the officer, as he saw it, had acted as he should have acted in the performance of his duty and he did not believe there was any proof that he was’actuated by improper | motives. Attorney Monkiewicz went into each successive step in the fight and the oficer demonstrated how he reached for Grabowski hand while holding the c other. and finally he told Grabow- ski he realized he could not handle him and the can at the same time but he would “see you later.” mean- CURTAIN, COTTAGE BROOMS Each ...

Asked about the can, Mrs. Kacz- marcsyk was not positive that the cne in evidence was the one that figured in the fight, but she believed the can she saw on the ground last cvening was smaller than the one in court. Questions Identity of Can Arguing for a discharge for Gra- bowski, Attorney Monkiewicz de- clared that the state had not proven that the can before the court was the one Grahowski had last evening and it was admitted that Officer Cosgrove let the can out of his sight for 20 minutes at least. It was an important gap, he declared, and he was moved to stress it because the state had been unfair with the not calling the man with the injured han, who was picked out by Officer Cosgrove in court. That man was supposed to have Kept the can ia sight on orders of Officer Cosgrove but he was not called to testify, and the court should have the benefit of his testimony. “Twenty minutes is a long time and the Lord only knows what hap- pencd to the can in that time,” At- torney Monkiewicz said. “For all we know some alcohol might have been added to it. It is all very well fer Mr. Woods to say every case is one for a bind over and let Mr. Alcorn take care of it in Hartford but this police court is for some other pur- pose and Your Honor is a magis- trate who is cxpected to look into these cases and take jurisdiction on | your own responsibility.” Prosccuting Attorney Woods plied that the common council of New Britain elected him to oftice and he felt perfectly able to handle the state’s cases after his 14 years'| experience in court. “I will put on what witnesses I care to,” he assert- |ed. As for jurisdiction, he felt that # ¢hance to cool it was necessary to hold Grabowski for superior court because he was a third offender. B Judge Saxe remarked that court took jurisdiction in such cases as it was felt proper to do so. He felt that the state had sub- mitted sufficient evidence for a prob- able cause finding, and he comp ment Attorney Monkiewicz on the | “able effort” he put forth on Gra- bowski's behalf. In the case of Mrs. Wilczewski, he suspended judgment, saying he felt she had not intended to interfere with the officer, but he instructed Interpreter Partyka to impress upon her that in the future she must be careful not to act in a manner which might be construed as interference. If the evidence was sufficient to convince him that she actually had intended to inter- Are You Anxious Ailments Arising re- | fere he would impose a substantial fine, he said.
