LITCHFIELD MAN
is FOUND GUILTY
OF AN ASSAULT

Everett G. Kicker Of Litchfield was
found guilty at the Saturday session
of the Gardiner municipal court OF
assault and battery on Leroy Curtis
Of Litchfield on the night of July 30 and
fined S. and costs amounting to VIZ.
The case grew out of an apparently
harmless scuff1e which occurred when
the young men were on their way home
from lawn party which had been
held at Litchfield Academy, the cause
Of which was the possession OF har-
monica.
The defendant was represented by r.
". Maxcy of the firm Of Maxcy &
Goodspeed, and presented a strong de-
Tense but was, unfortunately. unable
to produce witnesses. The action was
brought by Linwood L. Curtis. father
of the assaulted young man. as soon as
he heard of the ARRAY, which was
full week after it elapsed. All the tes-
timony presented showed that the men
had always been good friends and that
Kicker evidently used more forceful
persuasion for the possession OF the
harmonica than he realized. Among
the witnesses for the State were Stacy
and Philip Larrabee, Clarence Porter
, and John Sherlosky, all Litchfield
young men
