 VISIT TO CITY
(continued From Page One. ,


 Mary Wilson, the states star witt ness took the stand in the Demetri case, and stated that she worked for the accused in his coffee house at the corner of South avenue and Lafay- cite street. The girl said that De- metri offered to let her quit work early any evening when she wished to go out with men, and on one occa- sion acted as a go-between for a number of men who wanted to seq her and George Lewis, the man for whom the police are now searching. On the ross-examination the girl stuck to her original story. She work. ed at the coffee house as a waitress for six or seven. weeks, and received a. weekly wage of SIS besides tips
 On the evidence submitted to the court, Demetri was found not guilty by Judge Frank L. Wilder.
 George Guariola, proprietor of a rooming house at 372 State street was the next man to be arraigned, and the Wilson girl was again the frs! witness to take the stand.
 cording to the story which sho told the court May Wilson met Guar d1ola at the coffee house at the cor ner of South avenue and Lafayette street, one evening about the first O. March. She alleged that the man ask. ed her to come to his place in Stati | street, telling her that there were no other girls in the place, and that she l could make a. lot of money.
 While examining the girl, At, torney John Corr, counsel for Guar 1 diolaa accused her of having recently l conversed with the ftaIIeged detec 1 tives'' and "so-called Burns men l about the case. The girl admitted l that she had talked with the Burns 1 operatives recently, but reasserted 1 that Guardiola was the man who met her in the coffee house and asked her 1 to come to his establishment.
 Taking the witness stand in hi: own defense, Guardfola absolutely denied the girls story, and declared i that he had never seen her before He produced a receipt showing tha he purchased the house at 372 State street from Joseph T. Villa4 on Marcf 30, and said that before that time ht was employed on the night shift a tlte Columbia Graphophone company During the war he was employed a a carpenter in a shipyard near New London.
 Attorney John Corr asked for discharge for his client, but Judg Wilder was of the opinion that thu case should be heard before a jury He fined Guardiola $1 and costs ant imposed a jail sentence of twt months. An appeal was taken a once, and bonds were fixed at $15O.
 The disposition of the Guardiol; case leaves only that of May Wilso1 remaining in the City court. Thi girl is now being held as a materia witness for the cases which will com before the next term of the Superio court but may be arraigned in tn City court on a technical charge.
