" Arrested For Attempt t " Competitor In Zoo Sales Work Claim Woman Hired Assassin to Take Life of Man Who Captures Wild Animals for Living— - Plot. Was Failure. ! Mexico City, June - 2¢ UP—The Mexican wife of an American citl- sen was in jail here today, charged with attempting the murder of an- other American in the depths of an African jungle. The alleged attempt came to light only with the arrest last night of Mrs. Soledad Morales De Learn, whose husband was a professional edmpetitpr and rival of Willlam A. King, who captures wild animals apd sells them for a living. King, who recently arrived here with two hippopotami for the Cha- pultepec 300, told police he had jearned from employes Mrs. Leara was plotting his death with a' view GRABOWSH] BOND 1 SET AT §1:00 Bownd Over s Fourth Ollender Against Dry Laws — Charles Grabowski, 27, of 303 High Street, charged with trans- porting lisor by m: of a motor wvehicle, was bound over to the Bep- tember term of superior court in $1,500 bonds by Judge Stanley J. Traceski in police court today. Ac- eording to the police court records, he is a fourth offender against the liquor laws. The arrest was made in Middle- town last Friday on information furnished by Officer John M. Lieb- ler of the local department, Charles having left this city after his brother, William Grabowski, had been taken by Officer Daniel Cos- grove in a fierce fight in Meehan's Monumental Works yard at Clerk and Union streets Thursday after- noon. Attorney. B. J. Monkiewicz, who appeared for Chaples, said he had not intended to bring out a defense by cross examining the state’s wit- nesses, but as.to the bond, which Prosecuting Attorney Woods wanted set at $3,000, he felt it should be less and he hoped to raise it and also make application to the court for a reduction in the $3,000. bond placed on William, in order that he may not be obliged to re- main in jail until his trial takes place in superior court in Septem- ber. Judge Traceski, fixing the $1,500 bond, remarked that the ecase of Charles was somewhat different from that of Willlam and for that reason he was inclined to make the bonds in this case lower than those in the case of William. % Goagrove Testifies Officer Coagrove testified that he was in a store at 24 Clark strect about § p. ‘m. Thursday and maw Charles drive a sedan south on Clark street. He followed the car into the driveway south of 24 Clark street and saw Willlam Grabowski get out of it, carrying a 5-gallon can of alcohol. Charles drove away and was arrested the next day in Middletown. Prosecuting Attorney Woods had the officer repeat the testimony he gave in Willlam Grabowski's case last Friday to bring out that the can was struck by an axe wielded hy Willlam and that part of the con- tents of the can spilled out on the ground. Cross-examined by Attorney Mon- kiewicz, Ofticer Cosgrove said he had always had the idea that Charles and William were in “the liquor to removing him as a competitor from her husband's business field. A friend of his, S8enora Juana Fer- nandes, made the acquaintance of Mrs. Learn and he alleged was commissioned by her to poison him. After false news had appeared in newspapers that he had been poison- ed and would not recover, two de- tectives who accompanied 8enora Fernandes said they overheard Mrs. Learp exclaim: “At last,” and saw her pay money to Senora Fernandes. King arrived back in Mexieo City 8 few days before Mrs. Learn, who, when she arrived, found a warrant had been issued for her arreat. Senora Fernandes is held also as a material witness, game” since they were arrested to- gether for transporting alcohol 2 few years ago. As to whether or not Charles was at the wheel of the sedan, the officer was positive. He said he observed that Charles was wearing a bright suit and a straw hat. The attorney asked the officer why he had returned the scene of the alleged violation and attempted to locate witnesses as to the identity of the driver, it he was 30 positive about it, and the officer replied that he made no effort whatever to have anyoue identify the driver at any time. He was a foot or two away from Charles in the yard and ther: was no doubt as to the driver's idgntity. Liebler nrd Kiely Get Alcohol Officer Liebler testified that Of- ficer Cosgrove turned the can over to him after William Grabowaki's arrest and he and Officer Kiely poured the alcohol out of it into a glass jug. The axe was found !n the Clark street yard. Acting on information received Friday morning, Officer Liebler had Charles arrested at the home of his sister in Middletown and he and Officer Kiely brought him back to this city by automobile. On the way to Hartford jail with Willlam Grabowski, Officer Liebler had a conversation with the latter but At- torney Monkiewicz objected to its admission and was sustained. Officer Kiely testified that on the way back to this city from Middle- town, Charles had nothing to say. Officer Cosgrove, recalled to ‘the stand, testified that the can was full of alcohol when William Grabowski left it down in the Clark street yard. He knew it was full because there was no splash when he handled it 2nd it was heavy. Asked what kind of clothes Charles was wearing, the officer replied “a light suit and a straw hat.” Officer Liebler was re- called and asked what kind of cjothes Charles had on when he was arrasted, and he replied “a light suit and a straw hat.” After the state rested its case, At- Chicken Salad Now Called Typhoid Danger Trenton, N. J., June 24 UP— Chicken salad, one of the favorite fares at church suppers, was characterized by the state depart- ment of health, today, as a pre- dominant “spreader of infection.” In urging that those who handle food at church suppers use precaution in order to pre- vent typhoid fever, the depart- ment declared it unwise to serve salads at such meals because part cf the ingredients must be served raw, and also because much handling is required in prepara- tion of them, which increases the chance of contamination.

She was very nerv- ous and upeet on that account, she said, and when he battered the door and demanded to know where she was going and insulted her, she used the bottle on him. Frank had nothing to say. A fine of $5 and costs was imposed in each case.

He does not drink as a rule but yester- day there was company and he and his wife partook of moonshine with them. His wife drinks more than he does, he claimed. 8he likes moonshine but he is satisfied with beer. She threw liquor in his face, starting yesterday's trouble, he said. Judge Traceski imposed a sus- pended jail sentence of 30 days and placed him on probation. Earlier Sunday afternoon, Officers MAI Strolls and Walincsus had been the Zigmund home in answer to a complaint and reported that Zig- mund claimed to have seen his wife kissing a man and he threw a beer bottle at her. 8he told of a five gal- lon “still” which was in the attic and the police took it to head- quarters.
