Garrett in City Court this morning Of
witness who refused to testify in the
English language.
NO" promptly answered the witness
and the case proceeded.
The case in question was that Of
Laurence WytoweslS, charged with wife
beating. The witness who was made
to talk English was Joseph Saddowski.
He pleaded ignorance of the language
Of this country and wanted Patrolman
John Jacobowski to interpret for him.
The court was informed by Police Cap
tain Ned" Kane that the witness could
speak English and that he was the one
who came to the police station with the
defendants wife and lodged the COM
plant. Saddowski still refused to talk
and it was then that Judge Garrett
made the threat to lock him up. This
served as a means of quickly breaking
his silence.
After hearing the evidence the court
discharged Wytowesch and he and his
wife left the room together. The de-
fendant, from all appearances. got the
worst of the argument in the encoun-
ter with his wife. His face was bruised
and IN places black and blue.
