GETS POLICE AID
IN CIVIL MATTER
Barber Has Contractor Arrested
as Result cf Row Over
Building.

Alleging that the builder had failed
to fulfill the terms of his contract. Sal
Vator Cassatta. Il barber. OF 900 East
Broad Street yesterday issued n war
rant for the arrest of ]. T. Johnson, of
the Cary Street Road, on the charge of
having obtained the sum of $50 by
false prctenseS. Johnson was arrest
ed by Detective ScrGeants Wiltshire
and Atkinson and bailed for his APP
pearance in Police Court this morning.
Cassatta declares that some time ago
he entered into contract with Johnson
for the latter to make improvements
in his new shop in BROAD Street, which
were TO cost $3.50. and that Johnson had
drawn out $50 in advance of tho COM
pletion of the work on the ground that
he needed funds for the purchase Of
materials. After working several days
on the job Johnson went ont OF the city
and abandoned the job just at time
when il was imperative that the. i'm
provements be completed, says Cas-
satta. The barber then employed two
carpenters TO complete the. alterations
and told Johnson. when the latter re-
turned, that the contract was void
In view of the fact that part OF the
work contracted for had been done.
says Cassatta. he does not charge John
son with having dcfraudcd him OF tho
entire $50 paid in advance. The Grim
inal prosecution OF Johnson for breach
OF contract is an unusual method of
procedure in such. eases and one al
most without pai;ilcl IL the police an
mails Of this tity.
Johns story OF the affair differs
il essential particulars from Cassatta's
account According TO the carpenter.
he was fulfilling to the best of his abil-
ity the terms of his written contract
with the barber until suddenly told
that his services were no longer re-
ts.4I - rt,..,
tota!ing $50, he says, he finished all
the repairs contracted for with tho
exception of work which would have
required about two days time. Then
he says he took his wife 10 Ocean
View on an all day picnic. and when no
returned 10 work the following morn
ing he found two other carpenters com
pletinE his job. and received word from
Cassatta that their agreement was
nall.
