L . NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1919 ank Merrocco, was on, trial before they Third district court, Friday, ch d with beating his wife, Marian. Uppn request Judge, Williams allowed Atfbrney John J. Dunn, coufigel” for Mofrocco to withdraw the plea of not guffty and substitute a plea of nolo, on sthe ground that there was'no need for} the calling” of witnesses ‘to “give the! matter additional airing. wn Solicitor Harry B. Agard said the complaining witnesg; was in court with her eve still blackened as evi- defjee of the assault, that he did not knew of any instigation for the of- fenge. He hag beaten his wife on a forfner occasion in New Lordon and wi placed on probation, and Mr. A suggesteq punishment fitting thq offence, Nr. Dunn told the court that Mrs. MoFrocco went to the mill where her hugband was employed and which be- longed to him. There was a dispute o this matter and the accused pushed his wife, breaking~ her eye- siagses and blackening her eye. Mor- ru??‘had lived peaceably in Westerly in fhe past. At the call, of his coun- iryj he made quick response and did hg bit on the battlefields of France, and received wounds in the shoulder, thd back and the leg. Mr, Dunu said hegdid not want to wave the Ameri- can flag as a mitigation of crime, but ln}how that he was no coward, and wopld not assault a woman unless the cawse was, such that be lost tempor- arily self control. He was not a bad Mr. Dunn said ‘Morrocco had in jail since his arrest Dec. 19, and suggested a light fine. Morrocco was evidently unhappily married, but that was no justification for the as- sault said Mr. Dunn. There is anoth- er way to dispose of unhappy mar- riages. He asked for a light fine and not a jail sentence. The fact that Morrocco spent Christmas in jail is punishment sufficient for the offence. Mr. Agard said the assault was not a technical one, and he did not con- cur with all that Mr. Dunn had said, but was neutral in regard to the jail sentence. he case warranted suita- ble,.pu .3;4: 1liz and seen m case than most magistrates ha brought be- !u?‘t them.
