Doncelo, aged 23, had a quarrel in a
tailor shop in which they are both en-
ployed.

and he agreed. One man fired five
times and the other four.
The police were attracted by the
shooting and Rodi and his second were
arrested, but the other two men es-
capped.

Miss l. MCCloskey, appeared at head
quarters and made threats TO the desk
sergeant of preferring charges against
Officer Give. They thought the arrest
had been unwaTranted and asserted
that nothing would have occurred If
Give had not "insulted" TiIlach by
threatening TO arrest him. After stat
ing that Tillach was but slightly In
toxieated his friends decided to put up
$50 bail
TiUach was so drunk when released
from Jail that the desk sergeant de-
manded that Brown become responsible
for his safe keeping. The man had
apparently been on a spree OF some du-
ration.
Officer Give stated in his own behalf
last night after hearing the charges
made by Tillach's friends that the man
struck him after he had stated that he
intended taking him TO jail. Officer
Give further claims that he made the
threat on the request of one of the
woman boarders at the Valley House.
