Michael Grippo was fined $20 and|| Tony Colangelo was fined $10 for vio- lations of the liquér law by Pélice Judge Coit in the New London palice court Thursday morning. Smith, started to try to prove black- mail on the part of state witnesses. The court ruled against admission of evidence but in the trial of Colangelo his counsel, Attorney John C. Geary, called witnesses in an effort to im-] peach the agents of the state police Grippo’s home at Jefferson avenue and Grand street was visited on Sun- day, March 20, when most of the evi- dence on which previous prosecutions wers conducted was secured. An- thony Fellows and Patsy Petricello told the judge they bought beer there that date. With Philip Ferracci they hmgm a half dozen bottles of beer of Grippo on March 22. Attorney Smith was not permitted é g0 into’ the question of Petricello regarding bribe money. Mr. Smith talked about legitimate detections and solicitations of detections. The de- Ild to buying Hq\mf..t his homs at Bradley street three ferent m including lhreh 29, the date on which the prosecution was based. had dinner n the o Pev.rlema got the state police investigator to say he had Hed to Gentellills; asked him why and received the answer, “That's my business.” Petricello was asked if he &d not call Colangelo into a bed room and tell him he would be taken care of if he gave Petricello $5. The witness answered in the negative. He said he did not take a’ $5 bribe from Pasquale Paterno’s past was gone into thor- oughly by Attorney Geary in am ef- fort to discredit his testimony. Pa. terno ®said he lived in Bristol and was amplng.d by the Burns deucuvo agency. Burns' New York office.

He sald Petricello told bim he worked at the Mohicam; he had known Petricello about two months. Petricello borrowed $5 from him on the claim that he was sick and unable to work and last Thursday af- ter leaving the courtroom Petricello d him k. Before he paild him ick Petricello told him he was a member of the state police force. Pe- tricelo got a drink at Pace's house, but Pace said he made Petricello take the dollar back which was offered in payment. Petricello, according to said he would “take care” of him, but Pace said he had no reason to volunteer to do it because the state police had nothing on him. Colangelo said he never sold the three witnesses liquor. Petricello tried to borrow $5 from him. He identified one of the trio as coming to his house ene day, but the evidence of the state showed this man was there another day. Gentilello, who unwittingly in‘re- duced the state policg agents inc> Co- langelo’s - house, identified a lstter to Petricollo in which Gentilello said he was sorry to bring trouble to Colan- gelo, to whose child Gentilello 1s god- father. Gentilello said he did not tals with Petricello since thta time. The state promptly called State Police- man Willlam E. Jackson to the stand to testify that he saw Gentilello and Petricello talking together in the courtroom. Fellows was called in re- buttal to testify that Paterno was not at Colangelo’s when Colangelo testi- fied he was\ Attorney Geary in his summing vp said it was a peculiar thing that Colan- gelo should furnish oJwmkfsee har selo should be found selling liquor sa near the police headquarters and the Jocal police knew nothing about it. He inferred it was not an aggravated of- fense. Prosecuting Attorney Cronin fended the state police methods. Owing to the absence cf a witness for the state the case against George Baldini was continued nutil Saturday and Baldini was released on bonds. de- and thelr REV. DR.
