JUSTICE Of PEACE
IS At ODDS WITH
POLICE OFFICIALS
BeIIeviIIe Cop Told Not to Serve
Warrant for Judge"
la Faucherie.

Justice of the Peace John c., La
Faucherie, of Belleville. made a state
ment today In which he expressed In
diknation at the refusal OF Policeman
Louis Bonnello. of Belleville, to serve
: warrant for the arrest Of a man who
is charged by his wife with ~atrocious
assault and battery. Justice La Fau-
cherie charges malice on thep part OF the
Beileviile police committee and Police
Justice Richard n. Ashworth in being
instrumental IN ~instructing Bonnelio
not to serve the warrant for him.
On the other hand, Committeeman
Harry N. FaIlows today declared that
he had caused Policeman ,Bonnello TO
be instructed not to obey Justice La
Faucherie, and he further said that
the police committee in session agreed
with him. and upheld his decision thai
the police department was not to be
subject to the call of any justice OF he
peace while there are regular con-
stables in the township for that pur-
pose.
Mrs. Sarah Luciano. % a old, of
81 Belmont avenue, in the Silver Lake
section of Belleyille. went to Judge
La Faucherie's Office Tuesday morning
and swore out a warrant against her
husband, Albert. Luciano Is q printer,
Is years old. h charged him with
brutally beating and assaulting her
while she held a sick infant in her
arms. The woman said hat her hus-
band picked up a chair and struck her
owe the back and shoulders. She
showed evidences of having been mis-
used, and further alleged hat she was
only receiving rs cents a day for the
support of herself and family.
Justice La Faucherie says that he
could not locate any of the copstables,
and thought that Bonnello. living in
that section, and being off duty, would
be able to serve the warrant on Luci
ano. He gave the document to Mrs.
Luciano and directed that 1t be hand
ed to Bonnello. The complainant gave
the paper to Mrs. Bonnello, wife of
the patrolman, he being out of the
house at the time. la gave 1t to a
friend of Bonnello, so she said today,
and the warrant reached him on Tues
day afternoon.
Bonnello did not serve It, but called
up Police Justice Ashworth on the tele-
phone, and 1t is said that the latter told
Bonneilo that he would communicate
with the Commissioners" and find out
II Bonnello should do the work. Later,
1t is stated. Judge Ashworth told Bon
nello that the commissioners said that
under 10 consideration could he serve
the warrant.
Bonnello then went to the Office OF
Justice La Faucherie without his man,
and. on being questioned. he told OF
having been instructed not to make the
arrest The warrant was yesterday
given to Constable Frank Riccio, and
Luciano, on being a~rraigned last night,
wa released in $500 bail to appear for
an examination Saturday night.
Speaking OF the case La Faucherie said
today that he had authority to deputize
any citizen or policeman to serve a war
rant in case of emergency. He said
that the constables were not accessible
and Bonneilo was of active duty.
Il think" he said. that this matter
Of the commissioner instructing Bon
nelIc not to serve a warrant for me is
unfair, and Is not meeting the ends of
Justice. / also think that this shows
malice on the part of this commissioner
and Police Justice Ashworth."
