that interesting thoroughfare into the
limelight of police. activity and in conse-
iquence of two revolver shots that rang
through the morning air one Alfredo
Rosadella is held without bail at police
headquarters on charge of having fe-
loniously assaulted with intent to kill
one OF his compatriots, Edward Alonzo.
Soon after the shooting Alonzo legged it
to the police station and was giving Of
ticer John w. Dineen tabloid version of
the affair when Rosadella appeared in the
offing. Alonzo's allegation that one bull
let passed uncomfortably between his up
lifted arm and his body, while the other
sped past his right ear and Rosadellas
claim that he fired harmlessly into the
air, revealed such a glaring discrepancy
in the testimony that Officer Dineen
placed Rosadella under arrest Later in
the forenoon he was charged as stated
and arraigned before Magistrate A. A.
Sargent. The respondent pleaded not
guilty and his case was set for hearing

case and Rosadella has turned his inter
ests over to Atty. J. Ward Carver.

of the shooting and the circumstances
leading up to it, Alonzo has been heck
ling members of the Rosadella family
for several days. Last night, the re-
spondent says. he left his home at 10
River street, for Montpelier to visit

ldella also intimated that Mr.. Alonzo
iurther emphasized his unfriendly atti-
,ude toward the Rosadellas by heaving
tone through a window in their house.
This morning. he went on TO tell the po-
ice, he met Alonzo, who was about to
etch him clip over the head with n
tone when he, Rosadella, fired his revol-
er skyward. Both agree that hostilities
nded after the gunplay. although Alonzo
laims that Rossdella, without provstion,
red directly at him. the bullets follow
lg the courses already described.
The police relieved Rosadells OF a 81
alibre revolver soon after he arrived at
