George Kirchner of West Hobeken isqa
patriot who has a supreme contempt for
the ITALIA flag, although he has no set
prejudice against the oranges and ban
anas sold by the sons Of sunny Italy.
October II of last year was one of the
numerous Italian holidays, and Anthony
Puglis, who keeps a fruit stand at No.
ell Spring street, decorated his stand in
honor of the occasion by hanging out an
Italian and an American. flag, side by
side. Kirschner happened along, and
when he saw h italian flag his blood
began to boil. Unable to restrain himself
he dragged down the italian flag, tram
pied in the dust, jumped oh it with both
feet, and then tore 1T into shreds. Pugli
pushed him away, but before taking his
final departure Kitthner gave Puglis a
parting kick. probably as a warning
never to faunt the flag III his face again.
Kirchner was tried in the General Ses-
sions Court yesterday afternoon for as
sault and battery. He admitted tearing
down the flag but denied having kicked
