Walsh could not remember any of the trouble as he confessed to being drunk.
 Cobbler Kicks Out Intruder
 John Cunningham pleaded guilty to being drunk and Louis Maribelli, an East Main street cobbler. pleaded guilty to assaulting him. Facts in the case however, made a S3 fine for Cunningham advisable and secured a discharge for the cobbler. Witnesses testified that Cunningham came into the cobbler shop to get a shine and after getting one insisted on another. Then he refused to leave the store. When Maribelli insisted that he get out and not use his store as a bed chamber, Cunningham abused him and threatened to beat him up.

Cunningham confessed to being drunk and denied all recollec- ton of what transpired in the shoe makers shop.
