He claimed that he kneVv that he had no right to carry the gun on the highway on Sunday. The gun he claimed was no good as the cham Der was broken off and there was screw in the barrel and 1t was for this reason that he let the men take it away from him. Tony afterwards admitted that. ha had called Conlon names and that he had looked up cases in a law book to see what were his rights.
 Mrs Devivo claimed to know noth- ing about the case except that her son came home and told her the Con- Ions had taken the gun away from him. She said that there had been lots of trouble lately between the two families. She was also sure that she did not see the two men at any time yesterday.
 An older son, Lewis DeVivo, claimed that he was in his own yard and when he heard the noise he ran down the road and saw the Conlons running into their yard. The road was all marked up as if struggle had oc- cured he said. This was the only time during the day that he saw the Conlcns.
 Russell Dean, son of MT. and Mrs. E. o. Dean, told the court that his father had given the gun away be- cause it was of no use and had been in the barn for the last two or three years. He heard his father tell An tonic that it was of no value but he could have 1t.
 Judge Griswold said that he would dismiss the complaint against Mrs. DeVivo but the next time she ap- peared in the court she would not es- cape punishment. He fined Antonio $7 and costs and placed his bond at $25> for appearance ar the next term of the superior court.
