ON TRIAL FOR ASSAULT @&
 WITH PIECE OF PIPE

The trial of Alex Sedio of Groton was continued on Wednesday in the criminal superior court at New Lon oon on the charge of assault with in tent to murder Andrew Remawicz, a fellow laborer, with a piece of heavy iron pipe at bunk house of the Ma tional Engineering Co., in Groton on the night of February 15. striking him on the head. inf1icting a deep scalp wound and breaking his right arm.
 Sedio was bound over from the town court of Groton. It is alleged that the assault was the result of a row over crap game involving six cents Sedio was shooting crap with a fel- low laborer whose first name was Aleck and who has since left these parts. The. two men got into fight and Sedio tried to take a knife, away from emawicz, which the latter was using nearby. When the latter resist ed and refused to give him the knife Sedio is alleged to have gone out and secured heavy piece of pipe, with which he assaulted Renawicz.
 The first witness called to the stand was Burton Bellamy, a negro and one of the laborers living in the same bunk house with Sedio and Rema- wicz. He said that he was in the house when the fight started and saw it all. He told of the beginning of the fight over the crap game and of Sedio's assault on RenlaWicz.
 Dr. Charles c. Barnum of Groton told of attending Remawicz and of taking several stitches in a wound on his scalp and setting a fracture of the right arm. He said that both of the injuries might have been caused by a blunt instrument similar to the piece of pipe exhibited as the weapon with which Sedio is alleged to have struck Remawicz.
 Sedio testified in his own defense admitting the assault but claiming it was in self defense.
 The accused admitted getting into row with negro whose first name was Aleck oyer a crap game, and when he went to a table nearby to pick up a case knife, Remawicz, who was standing nearby, and Aleck bounced upon him and beat him. He managed to get away and went out to get an officer. When he came few minutes later he was met at the door by RemaWicz, armed with the piece of pipe, who assaulted him. He took the piece Of pipe away from him and in self defense struck him.
 The evidence was all in and the ar gumentS had been made by the time court adjourned Wednesday afternoon.
 Judge Case will make his charge to the jury and then place the case in their hands when court comes in this (Thursday) morning.

NORWICH CLUBS ANNUAL IN NEW YORK

vice in Siberia Mir Cole gave very large, speaking of its vastness, climate, costumes and people. His work brough him into close touch with the Bolsllevikitsituation and he stated that the only good Bolsheviki was the dead one. He spoke of the excellent work of the Chelovack in cleaning up the Trans Siberian railroad and stated that they now controlled 5000 miles of railroads. He also stated that there was very little of the Bolshevil1i spirit in Siberia. He spoke of the wonderful opportunities open to commerce and hoped and. trusted that the manufac- sturers of the United States would take advantage and get their share of the business.
 Because of his work as United States secret service agent. Mir. Cole
 was, in a good position to get hold of the. facts. MT. Cole has only recently returned from Siberia and the Norwich society was. fortunate to be one of the first ones to have him address them. After MT. Cole completed his talk some of the Norwich society members asked him several questions and i'll reply to one he said he was confident the ~cZar has not been executed. He also stated that the people, in Russia would follow the strongest leader and that they had great. reverence for the former cZar.
 The president then called on Lieut.. LeRoy Stearns and asked the lieuten- ant to give some of his experiences in France. Lieutenant Stearns gave an
 interesting talk about his experiences with the 102d engineers and also paid a tribute to the Seventh New York. of which he was formerly a member. He also praised the English and Aus tralian soldiers and paid a tribute to the Y. M. c. A. Lieutenant Stearns
 was on the firing line for several months and was brigaded with the English army during the smashing of , the Hindenburg line.
 Lieutenant Stearns since being mus
 tered out of the 27th division has
 taken up his work with the American I Bridge company, which has made him 1 a very tlattering offer to return tc 1 France on reconstruction work How
 ever, he has decided to remain in this country.

The REAL
Welcome
Yet toCone!

Battle-scarred, but victor
ious, the men of the 36lst are
back in their home TOWN.
and Seattle is on tiptoe to do
them honor.
Hats off TO them as they
march. They saw their duty
and they did it well.
Seattle's welcome to the
boys today comes from the
deep fount of tears where JOY
and grief abide-that fount
from which genuine love
springs. From the depths of
our hearts, our hands reach
out to them.
The tingle of joyous glad
ness is upon us today.
And what of the morrow?
The banners will fade. The
shouting will end. The plaud-
its will be no more.
Yet. if our emotion passes
with the outward signs, we
shall have failed.
In a few days the men we
see today tramping their con-
quering way thru thick
banked lanes Of enthusiastic
people, will be out of the army
and back to civilian status.
THEN WILL COME THE
TEST OF OUR WELCOME!
Two short years ago many
of these men were boys, stu
dents, clerks, office boys, some
of them, too, purposeless
youths about town.
Look at them today -
bronzed, hardy men, a moving
picture of health and valor.
Resolute and intelligent
young men they are. They
have earned-and they must
get - deserving and honest
recognition.
There is something else we
owe them besides a big surge
Of color and the waving of
flags.
We owe them, first of all,
an opportunity to make their
individual careers a success.
They should have their old
jobs back-and they should
have them at the right pay.
Material things, these?
Yes, but mighty important.
1t has remained for individ-
ual employers to uphold the
proper dignity of these men
who are marching home to
say that this war has not
been fought in vain, and that
the might of their ideals shall
vindicate the might of their
arms.
Congress has treated them
niggardly. The legislature of
the State Of Washington has
treated them shabbily - dis
gracefully.
But the citizens-the every
day Americans-must do bet
ter-and are going to do bet
ter.
These men fought for lofty
ideals. They carry their heads
high. Their eyes are lifted to
the visions of heights that lie
ahead. What other city could
welcome them back to such
Astounding beauty of spring
time? 1t is a land of hope
and beauty.
Nor shall THEIR hopes be
scorned, THEIR idealism
shattered.
We, the citizens Of Seattle,
are on trial. We are still to
show whether our welcome OF
today is meaningful or mean.
