Pic IDENTIFIED By SAUSAGE
Lawyer Puts Pieces Together and
Proves Porker Was Stolen and
Butchered BY Bungers.

Paterson, N. Jersey justice has
been confronted with many difficult
legal problems, and 1t has solved them
in its own peculiar way. Never be.
fore perhaps has 1t been called upon
to decide whether a pig that has been
killed, dressed, cut up and distributed
is the identical pig that was stolen.
That was the puzzle, however, be-
fore Judge Scott in the Passaic Coun-
ty Court In the trial % Matthias
Adanski, who was accused Of having
stolen pig from a Mrs. Fredericks Of
Passaic. and other miscellaneous
knicknacks, such IS several ducks
and pieces of jewelry from different
persons who live in that city. The
defense admits that parts of dis.
membered pig were found in the home
Of Adanski. Some of them were in
the form Of sausage. 1t denied. how
ever, that the pork found there was
from the pig that was .tolen from the
Fredericks pen. The lawyers for
Adanski felt so sure of their ground
that they challenged the prosecution
to prove that the pork found in the
home of their client ever formed part
of the Fredericks pig. They also de-
MED the allegation o. tho prosecution
that the pieces of pork show that the
pig was no. killed by regular butch
er, but slaughtered, dressed and cut
up by bunglers at such work.
"The police traced half of the stolen
pig to the home of this man and found
1t cut up in pan." she said.
Madam, do you positively identify
these pieces of pork as having been
cut from your pig?" the lawyer for
the defense inquired Remember.
now, you are under OATH"
II can't say positively. they are
parts of my pig she admitted, but.
in general way, they look like them"
The court was informed by the
prosecution that the police are after
man thought to have been implicat-
ed in stealing lie pig and that 1t will
be shown that he got, the other half
OF the Fredericks pork.
After several hours deliberation the
jury decided Adanski stole half the
pig.
