The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-02-18
 DEFENSE
 IS ALlBI
Laski Will Claim That He
 Did Not Assist in Attempt to Murder Annie Moskii.

will attempt to prove an alibi was | evidenced this morning, during tue proceedings in the trial of the tw 0 men charged with assault with 'n- tent to murder on Annie Moskil, when counsel for Marock asked Gusta,sc Nelson, baggage master at the station in Springfield, if Marock had not ap 1 preached him, and stated that he had l found the baggage check which. he produced for Annie MoskiPs trunk. I his, and other questions by Alter lley l Bison, clearly denoted that MarocK Will attempt to snow that he ws.a some where else on the evening of | the crime. ] Equally strange is the defense of Attorney Gray for his client, Laski. Laskis defense is that he went to 1 Fairfield with Marock on the evening of the crime, but did not assist him l in any way in committing the es- sault, either in trying to rob their victim of her pocketbook, or in throw | ing her into the we'll. Statements of Miss Moskil during the trial show | that Marock was the leader in the, crime and that Laski was an accom- plice.
 It was brought out, during the trial that victim and the accused had had l relations with each other at the home of Miss Moskil, in Chicopee. Atto1 : ney Bison asked Miss Moskil if she /! thought 1t were not improper for her | to entertain her prospective husband I before her marriage to him. | That the spectators were in sym l pathy with Miss Moslxil was evident when sne answered this question. T don't come to this court to answer i such questions" Some of the spec tators applauded this remark, clap min fInir 1r c,I,o l,o I7 to rap for order. During the proceedings Judge Cur tis called the attention of the jury men to the fact that Attorney Bison was representing Marock and that Attorney Gray was looking after the l interests of Laski. The cross examination of Miss Mos xii was continued this morning, hav- ing been started yesterday afternoon.
