In General Sessions Court this

man at the Deemer Steel Casting
Company at New Castle was placed
on trial on the charge of carrying

was arrested here with the weapon
in his possession Richard S. Rod
ney, representing Leone, argued that
the man being really a constable, had
a legal right to carry the weapon.
Attorney General Wolcott replied
that the Legislature has provided a
means giving the right to carry re-
volver by license.
The court ruled out the question as
to Leone's duties at the New Castle
plant. Several questions we're as to
his duties at the plant, whether he
was a police officer, or q peace Off
Ger and had carried the weapon for
a lawful purpose.
Attorney General Wolcott again oh
iected to the question as to what his
duties we're, he raising the point that
no matter what Leone's duties were
I'm New Castle the subject had moth
ing to do with the lawfulness Of the
man carrying a revolver in Whining
ton.
The objection was overruled and
the question was allowed. Leone tes-
titled that his duties were to keep
people out and allow no one ia the
place, and If some one came in and
refused to leave he should fire the
revolver in the air to scare them
away
Attorney-General wolcott asked
that the answer be stricken out
Mr.. Rodney said be wished to fol-
low the statement with evidence to
show why Leone had been in VIII
mington The question being admit
ted for the time, Leone said he came
here to buy a pair of boots. Attor-
ney-General Wolcott moved that all
the testimony be stricken out as il
referred to the duties Of the man in
New Castle and had nothing TO dc
with the arrest in Wilmington. The
court struck out the testimony show.
