As Q. rule cases of intoxication are
 disposed of in the Third district court
 by the rapid transit route, but the
 much delayed case of Thomas E.
 Brown, chief of police. against Thomas
 S9aiuSky, occupied the court for five
 hours Friday. The accused was charged
 with being drunk and reveling and
 ordinarily would be promptly disposed
 of at cost to the accused of S2 and
 costs of $2S0 But in this instance
 Albert C. Boardman of Westerly and
 Norwich, became interested and a lit
 tie case developed into one of more
 than ordinary interest and was con- tinued several times.

 Chief Brown testified that he was near the post office as the car came down High streets He noticed there was a disturbance on the car and he ordered Policeman Chase to hurry to the corner at the post office, following 8 couple of minutes later. Galusky 1 was drunk and used vile language and with Policeman Chase, he arrested Galusky and took him to the police station. After the prisoner was locked up MT Boardman came to the station and asked if GaIusky could not be re- leased on bail. He was told not until he had been arraigned. Galusily told ! the chief that he had drunk beer at White Rock and had taken three or 1 four bottles of beer with him. Board man told the chief that Galusky was not drunk. Boardman called at the l police station again next day and heard 1 tue prisoner say he was going to fix 1 s0meone and chief told the visitor the l character of the man whose cause : Boardman was chanhpioning. When i arrested Galusky had a little lump 1 over the left eye. There was no other ] injury.

On that trip one of | the party handed him a five dollar bill and said he was going to Norwich. Told him he would give him the l change later, as is the custom in such eases W32en there are many paSsen- l gers. Instead of going to Norwich this 1, man and the others got eff at White l Rock and before he had time to make i the change one of the party paid the 1 fare and the bill was returned. On ] the last down trip Galuslzy and two | of his associates got on the car at 1 White Rock They were more or less l Intoxicated, GaIuSlly more so than the 1 rest. GaluSiSy commenced to taunt ! him about that s bill and asked him l if he expected a $5 bill from him. The i party indulged in loud talk and wit l ness tried to quiet them.
