ITALIANS HELD
FOR ASSAULT
Hearing Held Before the
Recorder Last Night.

Lau1s Stephano, proprietor of q
fruit stand at Smith street and New
brunswick avenue, and John Scala,
a barber, of 346 Washington street,
defendants in counter charges of as
sault and battery, were held under
$500 bonds each by Recorder Kehoe
last night for the action of the grand
jury, following a lengthy hearing
which was attended by about twenty
five Italians, representing constitu-
ents of either man.
Thomas Brown represented Scala
and j. 8. Wight represented Ste
piano. Warrants charging assault
and battery had been sworn out by
each man against the other, follow
ing an exchange of blows on Wash
milton street several days ago and, to
facilitate matters, Recorder Kehoe
gave hearing to both men at once. In
the meantime the court room had
FILLED with friends of the two de-
PENDANTS and interested spectators.
Thomas Brown opened the case
for Scala, giving an outline of incl
dents leading up to the Washington
avenue mixup. He said that Scala
and Stephano had come to blows at
an affair held in Washington hall
about a week ago following which
Stephano had made threats against
Scala.
He'd Been To TottenvilIe.
On the day of the assault Scala,
according to his own testimony, had
been over to Tottenville, where he
had received a razor for repair and
was returning home by the way of
Washington street when he met Ste
piano accompanied by Cerulo Do
mey and another man. Without
warning he stated that Stephano
struck him in the face and Knocked
him down. On arising Stephano
knocked him down again, he stated,
whereupon he drew the closed razor
from his coat pocket and struck
| Stephano with the handle in the way
of defense from the onslaught. The
handle broke and Scale received q
bad cut In the hand from the razor
blade according to the story. In the
meantime, he states, Cerulo Domey
was shouting XIII him, kill him.
This Domey denied.
~Stephano's story was to the efec
that on meeting Scala on Washing
ton street on the occasion In Ques
tfon. without warning Scala had 81
perforated IN hln lace In neAA1n y
Itch no ii kNxeNed him dow
- d
IRE hfs hxnd 4ss1xs
fearing he would be cut, he strucE
him again. Scala stated that he had
no intention of cutting Stephano,
that he could easily have done SC
had he wished, that he only struck
him with the closed instrument,
which resulted in his hand being cut.
Both Held Under Bonds.
After hearing the testimony, the
recorder held both men on an as
sault and battery charge. When the
bonds were fixed at $500, Mr.. Wight
made objection that the figure was
high. Both attorneys made objee-
ton to the bondsmen presented by
the defendants. Mr.. Wight claimed
that Scala's bondsman owned no
property and Mr.. Brown affirmed
that Stephano's bondsman, Cerulo
Domey, had his property in his
| wife's name. Recorder Kehoe ac-
cepted the sureties, however.
