RACE RIOT IN BROOKLYN.
Gangs of Italians and Irishmen in
Street Fight.

A race riot occurred yesterday In Brook
lyn between two gangs employed by the
Brooklyn City railroad at the corner OF
Nassau street and Hudson avenue. A gang
of Italians. under Joseph Sugeretto. were
laying tracks at this point, when Foreman
Cusack, in charge Of seventy-five Irishmen,
objected to the manner in which the work
was done. and ordered the Italians to do II
over again. The two foremen had a war OF
words. which resulted in Cusack being
struck in the face by the Italian.
He retaliated, whereupon Sugeretto's as
sistants. about thirty in number, rushed to
their chiefs assistance. The Irishmen. see
ing Cusack in dagger. also rushed forward
spades and any weapons the men could lay
their hands on were used. Not one of the
100 combatants escaped bruises, and 1t is
thought that in some of the cases the in
juries Will prove fatal.
During the fight four Italians went to the
roof of house on Nassau street and began
fusilade of bricks and stones on the con-
tending parties.
After the fight was over the police of the
twenty-first precinct appeared on the scene
and placed fifteen of the Italians under ar
rest, but did not interfere with any of the
Irishmen, and later in the day Sugeretto
and four Of his men were arrested. During
the battle the streets in the neighborhood
were crowded. Many of the missiles went
wide Of their mark and struck onlookers.

TAKEN TO A COUNTY JAIL.
Unable to Gain Freedom, the Principal
Witness Having Gone Insane.

L. Wesley Edmonds OF Ridgefield. Conn.
has been put in Jail on the evidence of a
man who. ii is said. is insane and may stay
there for years. Edmonds has been in the
county Jail for nearly year. The charge
against him is that at divers times he made
threats TO burn the barn Of George NJ Webb
CT Ridgefield
For this he was arrested and brought be-
fore justice on a warrant to be put
der bonds to keep the peace. Evidence was
introduced of the charge against him, and
the justice found IL to be true and placed
him under $500 bonds to keep the peace.
EdrnondS was taken in charge by a sheriff
and landed in jail at Ridgefield.
When the young man was on trial before
the justice he supposed that he was held
for trial before the next term of the superior
court, but that term was held and many
others. and still he fingered in Jail and moth
Ing was said of n trial Now 1t seems that
Edmonds has waived his rights to trial,
ami he is practically in Jail for life If he
cannot raise the amount of bond the justice
said he should furnish to keep the peace.
There Is little chance of his being able to
do that.
He says there is a conspiracy among his
relatives to keep him in Jail The superior
court can do nothing toward reducing the
bond. and the case has passed out OF the
Jurisdiction of the justice before whom it
came in the first place
There has been one similar case in the
history of the courts OF Connec-54ss That
Boiney. who was placed under 5000 bonds
oy Justice Bennett of Canaan, Litchfield
county. Boiney was charged with having
threatened TO burn the residence of County
commissioner Lyman Dunning of East
canaan He was arrested. and the bonds
Fixed at 5000. Not being able to furnish
them. ne was sent to the county Jail at
Iftchfield.
There he stayed year after year His case
was taken to the supreme court of the
state. but Ii would not interfere. saying that
10 had TO right to change the decision of
the Justice. At last the French consul al
New York became interested in the case
and Boiney was released and sent to France
with the understanding that he would never
return to this country.
EinlondS claims that. while his imprison-
rnent Is unjust in every particular il is
ooNbly SO from the fact that he was sent to
1aii on TIE evidence of one mar. who is in
sane The single witness against Edmonds
was MS father Years ago the father ap-
lhei Tor a divorce. and il was refused on
ths srouhd that he was insane. The son
sdNS ne Is still so. There has been no eff
Iort made to furnish bonds. Edmonds is
tNehty-siX years of age. His case has at
uact-d much attention. There is a dis
position 10 see that he is given a fair hear
Ll-, put how IL will be brought about is the
question to be solved
