There was not much to take up the
attention of the court Thursday, but
Friday was busy day. 1t was then
that the pleas above mentioned were
entered.
Judge Lippincott sentenced some of
those who had admitted their guilt.
Luigi Quarando and Vincenzo Viggiano,
for receiving goods stolen from the River
side Metal Works, were given sharp
lecture and were told to keep away from
this county. They were put in charge
of the probation officer and were COM
PEELED to pay the costs of prosecution.
The men acknowledged buying the
goods but said they thought the sale
was an honest one. In this case it would
appear as if the fellow who did the
selling should be looked after.
John C. Freck, William Freck and
Herbert Freck, who had pleaded guilty
to atrocious assault on Frank Cain,
were placed in the hands of the proba-
ton officer and ordered to pay the COSTS
Prosecutor Atkinson said that the case
seemed to be merely one of general
fight.
John c. Freck, for assault on Daniel
Green, was also compelled to pay the
costs and go under the care of the pro-
baton officer.

was that of Stanley Passamoski, who
admitted that he assaulted officer George
Bozarth, of Riverside. The man told
his side of the case. He said the officer
came to his house and got him out of
bed, telling him he was under arrest
what do you mean?" asked the defen-
dant, who knew he had not done any
thing wrong and thought joke was be-
ing played on him. The officer insisted
upon his going before justice of the
peace. At first Passamoski did not
offer resistance, but when he got in the
street he did rebel and struck Bozarth
and resisted. The prisoner said he had
never seen Bozarth before, knew not that
he was an officer and the latter did not
wear or show a star or other emblem of
When the Office of the justice
of the peace was reached it was discover
ed that Bozarth had arrested the wrong
man. Judge Lippincott suspended SEN
tence but compelled Passamoski to pay
the costs of prosecution.
