While the offense for which he was
 arrested was but trivial, in character ] George Guino's stubbornness and Ais utter contempt for the court and it's
 officers earned him fines and costs amounting tos.over $27 last evening 1 when he appeared before Justice M. i Q. Ryder to answer to charges of l assault and breach of the peace, < a i warrant having been issued for hime l on complaint of Herman Gross of Hartford. Guino's freshness while 1 his hearing was in progress brought down the wrath of Justice Ryder and l besides lining him on the charges l pressed by the state he gave him a severe reprimand and threatened him
 with punishment for contempt of court
 After the trial which lasted nearly two hours and which was attended by a large number of people Guino was found guilty and was assessed $5 for breach of the peace and S7 for as- I sault, the costs to be added. The l'accused paid up.
 ' Reports that a civil suit is con- tsanplated as a sequel to Guinos arr rest is said to be responsible for the presence in court of Attorney Schwol- ski of Hartford, who was engaged by, Gross to assist Grand Juror Norton 1 in presenting the case for the state..
 The accused was not represented by l counsel. ] Witnesses testified that Gross, who
 Is salesman for bottling concern, i got into an argument last Saturday
 with Guino. The dispute was over | looms, where the accused is employed l as bartender. The talkfest waxed l warm for some time and according to Gross it finished in the yard when 1 Guino struck him, knocking him to ] the ground.
 Thomas G. Russell and Ernest l the defense but they had little testi- l mony to offer, having seen only part l of the row. Guino was inclined to place all the blame on Gross and he l told the court that all he did was to push him out of his way. Attorney SchwolslSi attempted to l question the accused but for a time met with little success, Gufno fatly 1 refusing to answer several of his queries. He made sarcastic references 1 to the attorney and the latter finally had to appeal to the court to force ! him to conduct himself properly. Guino "also refused to answer ques- l tions after being ordered to do so by l the court and had to be threatened with punishment for contempt before l he would make proper replies. There was considerable interest in l the case and the court room was 1 crowded when the accused was put 1 to plea. While the hearing was in progress disturbances were caused by some of the spectators and 1t was necessary for Justice Ryder to order one of them from the court room. When he refused to move Constable Downing was called on to forcibly eject him.
