Genara Renando Discharged by Judge
 Burpee for Lack of Evidence.
 It was long and tedious session of the city court that was held th.s morning. There was only one case tried, but that lasted from 9 o'clock until 10:30. Judge Burpee presided and Attorney Durant prosecuted Ge- nara Renando of Jackson street was charged with the embezzlement of goods, the value of which was over $10O and the owners of which were MT and Mrs Peter Bosso. Attorney Guilfoile represented the prisoner. The testimony of the state was to the eff feet that three trunks arrived i'll this city from Italy about November 2S ana were delivered by the Adams Ex- press Go to Renando's house One of the trunks belonged-to Renando and the other two were owned by MT and Mrs Bosso. The latter two, how ever, had been billed by mistake to Renando. Six weeks after their de-. livery the Adams Express Go called at Renando's house and brought away the trunks When they left New York they weighed 6SO pounds but when they were taken from Renando's house their weight was 400 pounds. When they were shipped to @Torring- ton and MT and Mrs Bosso received them they found that the locks had been broken and large quantity of goods taken from the trunks. The state attempted to prove that Renando took them. The evidence for the de- fense was to the effect that RenandO had protested against two of the I trunks being left at his house, for they l did not belong to him. But the ex- press company would not take two back without taking the other one also. The two trunks not belonging 1 to the accused were left out in the yard l in front of his house all d2y while his I own was carried to his room by the I expressman. When night came and I nobody called for the trunks, Renando. l not knowing the laws of the land, had the trunks brought into his house. If 1 anything had been removed from them while there it might have been taken by other persons than the ac- cused who had free access to the rooms. Several witnesses could talk no English and Mir Dest from New l Haven, who was brought here by the 4 IAQdlHS lLAplCSS& #SJU lOi LIC Dur pOHt, acted as interpreter MT Dest was s| umpire in the State baseball league last season and expects to hold the in
 dicator again this season. He was
 also one of the speculators who were
 mobbed bv' Yale students shortly be-
 fore the Yale Harvard football game 4 last season. He says that the stu 1 dents settled their case with him by I paying him $111.S His task this morn l ing was not an easy one and he said l that he wouldn't act as interpreter in
 such a case again for $1OO. Judge
 Burpee said that he was not willing I to put the state to the expense of try
 ing this case before jury as he
 thought jury would find the accused
 not guilty owing to a lack of evil N dence Renando was accordingly dis-
 charged.
