HEAVY PENALTIES
IN POLICE COURT
Breach Of Peace and Assaults
Heard by His Honor

\ fine Of $35 was imposed on
Charles Telke in police court today
by Judge Meskill on conviction of the
charge of breach of the peace, which
consisted in utteranCes that melted a
fight at the Union MIS-. co. facory,
July u. When put to plea this morn
inG the accused pleaded guilty.
Prosecuting Attorney George w. Klett
said that he was surprised at the
change in plea and he added that no
agreement was made with Attorney
Morris D. SAKE, counsel for the &C
cused as to the penalty. Mr.. Klett
said that on July II and - the &C
cused used foul and indecent Ian
guage rejecting on the citizenship of
Stanley PiOrkOWski and offensive to
the United States. Attorney Morris
D. SAKE pleaded for leniency for his
client stating that the injuries that
he received in the assault had made
it impossible for him to work since.
He maintained that Telke's remarks
were addressed to the individual and
not against the government. If it
was a question of statements against
the government his client would never
have pleaded guilty. Judge Meskill
in passing sentence said there was no
question but that Telke was punished
and it was probably deserved. The
utterances were probably made in the
heat Of passion and resulted in the
assault and battery. Taking into con-
sideration Telke'S wife and children
he imposed a fine of $35.
Kill the Jew" was the battle cry
of men at SulliVan's coal yard, yes
terday, according to Emmanuel Rich
man, charged with assaulting Michael
Cerpak. Richman was found guilty
and fined SIS and costs. Attorney
Irving Rachlin was counsel for Rich
man. Cerpak said he was attacked
by Richman at the coal yard, just
before noon. He claimed he was
struck three Or four times with a
four-foot stick of white birch. DR..
Kelly attended Cerpak, but did not
find Cerpak's arm broken, but badly
bruised. John Balock, an employee
at the coal yard said he never in his
life saw such a man as Richman. He
denied that he knew Richman as
foreman of the yard. He saw Rich
man strike Cerpak and in reply to
counsel for the accused denied that
he (Bolack) had been drinking. eve
got seven children and have no money
coal yard worker gave corroborative
testimony. Richman said he was the
foreman at the yard for four years
and that the men do not like him.
Men called him vile names, but that
happens many times during the day,
SO he was not angered He positively
denied striking the victim of assault.
Katie zuk was found guilty of
breach of the peace and had her
choice of a stay of so days at the
New Britain town farm Or ten days
at the Hartford county Jail. She pre-
ferred the term in Jail. Last night
at ST East Main street she proceeded
to smash up furniture. Today she
claimed the furnishings were hers
and she had a right to do as she
pleased. The trouble started when
the complainant kicked her in the
stomach.

with regard to the brigading of

IS that the question as to when the
men are adequately trained and are
to be returned to Gen. Pershing Isl

"a very large number of men who
have been brigaded with the British
have been returned to Gen. Pershing
