(Special to the Herald) | Hartford, March. 11—A jail sen- |tence of €0 days was imposed by | Judge Jennings in superior court to- day in the case of Michael Koley, 47, of Plantsville, on the charge of mayhem. Koley bit a piece out of the lower lip of Michael Robitski, & neighbor, on December §, 1929, re- marking as he was about to commit the act: “My good friend, you kissed my wife. I will kiss you. Koley, it was brought out during the trial, lived in Detroit for two vears and on returning to Plants- ville, was told by his children that Robitski, a widower, had been pay- ing marked attention to Mrs, Koley. The children told him that they saw their mother preparing one morning and a man’s hat was on a bed. Robitski presently walked in and remarked that he had forgot- ten his hat. Robitski also gave the children money to buy candy o as to assure | himself that they would be out of the house while their mother stayed in, according to Koley's testimony licly and waited until December §, which was a Sunday, and after church services he waited for him and gave him the kiss. Frances Koley, 17 year old daughter of the accused man, testi- fied to seeing Robitski kissing and “fooling around” her mother while her father was in Detroit, but Ro- bitski denied that he had ever been in the house alone with Mrs. Koley. He had never had improper rela- tions with her, he insisted. Dr. Willlam H. Cushing of South- ington, testified that Robitski came td him on the day in question and was treated for a laceration of the lower lip. A plece of flesh about three-quarters of an inch or one inch long and about one-quarter of an inch deep was gone and the wound was a torn and jagged one. He said Robitski had made a good recovery. | Officer Edward Geary of the| | Southington police testified to mak- | | ing the arrest and he said Koley had | | the piece of lip which he had had| bitten off, in his handkerchief and | did not want to give it up, remark- | ing that he intendecd to save it for the rest of his life. | Attorney Patrick F. McDonough, | who represented Koley, claimed that | the state had proven only a simple assault because the intent required | under the mayhem statute was not | shown. He said Koley lived in New | Britain and was one of his first clients years ago. The father of I nine children, he has seen his home | | broken up until some of the chil_| |dren are in institutions, on account | of the affair between Mrs. Koley | | and Robitski.
