* Man Jailed for Contempt of Court Given Judgment In Mortgage Suit; Jennings Extends His Sympathy “I Hope That All of the Cases That Come Before the. New Britain City Court Are Not of This Character,” Is Remark Made From Bench. Anthony” Petrauskas, local real estate man who is serving a 15 days sentence in jail for attempting to buy evidence in a superior court civil case, has heen awarded the verdict without the weight of tie evidence which, the court ruled, he had attempted to obtain by bribery. Petrauskas had leen sued by Thilias J. Gagner and Alfred Roy who claimed.he had agreed to as- sume mortgages of $11,500 on Park street property 1o close a deal. Mrs, Rozalia Pierzanowski, the new owner, foreclosed a $6,000 mortgage and forced Gagner and Roy to pay. whereupon they * brought action against Petrauskas for remunera- tion. He refused to pay claiming he had never entered info the agree- inent. Before the superior court liearing, 1t is alleged, Petrauskas at- tempted to influence the testimony of Andrew Petuskis, another party involved in the real ate dickering by giving him a check for $1.000. AS a result, e was remanded to jall for 15 days on a contempt charge. - B. Hungerford and Josiah H. Teck represented Petrauskas, and Thomas F. McDonough and John T. Robinson were attorneys for the plaintiffs. In passing judgment, Judge Jen- nings remarked: “Three of the foui lawyers engaged in this case in ef- fect called the witnesses a pack of lia Mr. Robinson confined himself to calling them stupid. The defend- ant is now in jail for trying to pur- chase testimony. I hope that all of the cases that come before the New Dritain city court are not of this character. The judge of that court has my sympathy.” MERIDEN WET IN PROHIBITION POLL Norwich and Torrington Also Show Sentiment Against Law New York, Jose, Calif., 2 April 2 (UP) — San in the center of one of the world’s largest grape-growing districts, is voting dry in the Lit- v Digest prohibition poll, latest incomplete figures show.

Yerano and his wife have been living apart since March 21, when family disagreements arose after he had brought his parents to live with him at his home, and his wife and her parents-in-law became involved in a row which nesulted in her de- parture from the: home. She took with her their' seven months old daughter, Barbara, leaving Francis, whose custody she later sought but /was refused. Mrs, Verano testified that her husband had been {riendly with an- other young woman but had agreed to be faithful and return home. With the coming of his parents to live with them, domestic difficulties began anew, she told Judge Foster. Attempts at reconciliation were made with Mayor Paonessa, uncle of the wife, as one of the peacemakers, but without success: Verano has been: ‘off duty for several months following two seri- ous operations and a long illness. He will return to duty in'a few months. When he has done so, Judge Foster has ordered, he is to establish a home for his wife and children, his parents iiving apart from them. Joseph G. Woods appeared for the wife and 8. G. Casale for Verano. Overnight News By the Associated Press, Domestic Sweetwater, Tex~—Hawks ar- rives in glider from Tucson, Ariz.
