but would have to hold her on a
similar charge. Her bail was fixed
at $500 and Guarino was held In de-
fault of $1,000. An effort was made
by the recorder to have both the men
and the woman withdraw the coun-
ter charges and stop all further
trouble. Mrs. Mancinelli said che

only admit that he had told her hua-
band lies. This Guarino refused to
do, until he found he could not get
