tack on Woman.

Leon A. Hayward, until September
last patrolman attached to the
Sixth police precinct, was put on trial
today in Quarter Sessions Court be-
fore Judge Osborne on a charge OF
having committed serious assault
on Mrs. Mary Gornack, a servant
employed in the home OF Mrs. Abra-
ham Wosnitzer, 65 Scheerer avenue
The alleged assault IS said to have
taken place near the Wosnitzer home
about a. m. Oh the morning of SEM
tember rs last as the GornacIS
woman was returning to her en-
ployer's after visiting friends in Har-
rison-
Mrs Gornaek is only a little over
eighteen years of age. although she
has been a widow for two Years. She
made very poor witness for tho
State. She speaks but little English,
and had hard time answering the
questions put to her through the In
terpreter.
The woman's explanations as to
what actually took place at the time
of the alleged assault were vague and
Louis J. Beers. who is defending Hay
ward. made the most of answers that
favored his client.
Harry B. Osnun and Peter J. Cor
bally, both policemen of the Sixth
precinct, testified against Hayward.
OsInun testified that he had met Hay
ward at Renner avenue and Bergen
streets a few minutes after the al
legged assault took place. and that
Hayward had boastingly told him Of
attacking the woman.
A few minutes later Hayward and
Osrnan met Cordially According to.
the testimony OF the Witnesses, HaF~
ward again spoke OF attacking Mrs.
Gornack. At that time neither 0smun
nor Cordially knew who the woman
was, but the next day when the mat
ter was reported to the police by Mrs.
Wosnitzer, the Sornack woman's eu1-
ployer, they, with Hayward and other
officers were lined up for identlfca-
ton.
Mrs Gornack anhesitatingly idenli-
fed Hayward as the man who had as
saulted her After the Identification
had been made. Hayward said to Os~.

woman from last night. Stick TO me.

told them by Hayward to Captain
Samuel Brown. Of the Sixth precinct.
Hayward was placed under arrest and
suspended from the police department..
From the questions asked BY Mr.
