SOLDIER FINDERS
 POLICE OFFICERS
Man With Name Like a Song
 Runs AfOul Of Law

Among the prisoners in police court before Judge James T. Meskill, today, was Private Charles Kaskakewiscius, who is wanted at Camp Devens for overstaying his leave. His presence in court today was to answer the charge of assaulting Patrolman Pat rick Howley and interfering in the arrest of his friend, Steve Barthus. Judge Meskill decided to leave his fate to the army officials and Pro- bation Officer Connolly was instructed to notify the camp officers to come for him. Friend Barthus paid a fine of S7 for drunkenness. He insisted that he was not drunk and that he didn't even have a drink. Patrol- man Howley testified that Barthus was drunk and when placed under arrest by ~Patrolman Hahn, Kaskake- wiscius called them vile names. He was told to behave himself and he swung at the officer and landed blow on Patrolman HowIey's neck. Patrolman Hahn gave corroborative testimony. Kaskakewiscius said that they were accosted by the police, who demanded to see Steves regis tration card. He couldn't find it so they went to the house. Kaskakewis- cius used his best endeavors to con- vince the officers that Steve was reg istered and one of the policemen struck him with his club, he said.
 kaskakewiscius admitted that he was absent from camp without leave. His permit to be away expired a week ago, but someone stole his money and he could not get back to camp, he said. He told Judge Meskill that he had sent a telegram of explanation to his commander and was awaiting a reply. The police were notified last week to apprehend him.
 Louis Burrell was charged with drunkenness and with operating motorcycle while under the influence of liquor. Patrolman Michael Mee- han was attracted by the contortions of Burrell in his effort to ride mo- torcycle Saturday night. Burrell de- nied he was drunk. At the request ot Attorney William M. Greenstein the case went over until tomorrow.
 The cases of Harry Zinman and Charles Stanl1ewicz were adjourned until tomorrow morning at the re- quest of Attorney A. F. Pouzzner The accused are charged with assaulting each other. They had a dispute over a baby carriage.
 Beniamin Kaleshak was fined $3 for drunkenness and $10 for breach Of the peace. The case of Joseph Gol- ombowski, charged with theft of fruit from F. F. Dyson of West Main street, was not tried today. An effort is being made to apprehend the man who was implicated with Golombow- ski

The exhibit is open from i a. m. until II D. m each day, Sunday included. The engage maat is for the benefit of the Masonic corporation building fund.
