Matrimonial plans Of Stanley CT
zanskas, alias steve Scezeski, and Mrs
Eva Brogis were rudely interrupted
shortly after S O'Clock yesterday af-
ternoon when the prospective groom
was arrested, charged with assault
with intent to kill upon William Zim-
itravitch in the latter's saloon at 36
Hartford avenue. Zimitravitch is at
New Britain General hospital with a
bullet hole in his left chest. He is eN-
pected to recover. CizaEskas, who
has been out Of Jail but a short time,
was held under bonds of $1,000 by
Judge James T. Meskill in the police
court for hearing Tuesday. Mrs.
Brogis has a marriage license in her
possession that is useless, ct least
temporarily. She did not know the
Whereabouts of the man of her choice
until she visited police headquarters
and found him behind iron bars.
Zimitravitchs refusal to loan CT
zanskas money is the outward cause
of the shooting although the police
say that the formers refusal to go
on the latter's bond in June, when he
received a six months Jail sentence
for a statutory offense, is the underly
ing motive.
