James III. Risney Fined For Breach o
the Peace and Assault.

James III. Risney Fined For Breach of
the Peace and Assault.
James HI. Rigney was the only pris-
oner in court this morning. He was
charged with breach of the peace and as
sault. On June 18th Rigney and some
companions were drinking in the saloon
known as the RED Light" on Meadow
street, when he got into a wrangle and
fought in the street. There were six
witnesses against Rigney this morning.
The testimony as it came out was that
a strange drummer and several men
and woman were drinking
in the Red Light when Rigney entered.
He called for drinks which he refused to
pay for, claiming the drummer ordered
them. The whole party left the rear
room and went into the barroom
proper. Here the drummer was as
saulted by Rigney and Timothy Gull
foile. In self defense the man drew a
revolver and fired one shot, injuring no
one. The revolver was knocked out OF
his hand by Guilfoile. Rigney and the
drummer then fought and the former
was getting the worst of it when Gull
foile came to his aid. The drummer
was knocked down and severely beaten.
He was rescued from the two and take 4
into the Waterbury Lumber and Goa
Co.'S office. A man named Mahoney
who tried to stop the fight had one OF
his ribs fractured by stone thrown by
Rigney. In his own behalf Rigney
claimed that he acted in self defense
He was fined $40 and costs for breach OF
the peace and $10'and costs with thirty
days in Jail for assault. An appeal wa
