HEAVY FINES METED
 OUT TO OFFENDERS Ex-Soldier Assessed S10O for
 Get-RiCh-QuiCk Scheme BARTENDER" IS FINED $50

This Morning Was That of Joseph
 ColangcIo, Suspected Burglar,
 Bound Over to Superior Court.
 Alexander kosinski a veteran of the world war, found himself in the meshes of the law this morning, when he was arraigned before Deputy Judge B. w. filling on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. He was fined $1OO and costs, but jail sen- tence was SuSpenned.
 Collects an Even Hundred.
 It was the failing of strong drink that placed Alex in his predicament this morning. Yesterday afternoon, according to testimony, the accused and companion wandered into cafe at 3S9 Main street, and placed an or der for liquidation. They evidently procured it, and when it came time for the sound of the cash register to ring out, Alex discovered that he was out of ready cash. His friend, how ever, volunteered a plan that would relieve him of discontinue, and also net him a fair margin of profit. It seems that Alex, on being discharged from the army in Chattanooga, Tenn, redeemed Liberty bond for $1O0, se- curing a receipt for it, which he has since carried with him. His friend of yesterday knew of this and suggested to Alex that he affix his name to it, turn it in and get s10O, the same as any check on a bank. The unsuspect- ing "bartender,' who happened to be Stanley Oleshevich, immediately paid over the money. Later when he dis covered that he had been duped, Stan ley notified the police, and the long trail was hit by a sleuth, who suc- ceeded in experiencing Kosinsgi as he was taking his departure from the Hotel Bassett. On his person SAG was found. Judge Alling found him guilty and imposed a fine of s100 and a jail sentence of 30 days, the latter which was suspended.
 ''BaFtender'' Fined Also.
 AS the result of the J. Rufus Wal lingford methods employed by Kosin- ski, Oleshewicz was also in police court this morning charged with vio- Iation of the liquor law. The states case was handled by Lawyer Albert A. Grcenberg, it being the first since his appointment several weeks ago. Oleshewicz, as was testified to in the case of kosinski, served a concoc- tion called ginger, which is under the ban of the 18th amendment. He de- nied the charge, but was adjudged guilty and fined $50 and costs.
 Held for Burglary.
 Joseph Colangelo, arrested early in the week in Hartford for complicity in the burglary at the store of Alex ander Rosenweig on South Main street on the morning of February 5, was put to plea. Through his coun- sel he entered a plea of guilty, and was bound over by Judge filling in bonds of $1,50O to the June term or the superior court.
 Claims Non-Support.
 Mrs. Joseph Catalano is evidently q very badly advised woman. It seems that only a short time ago Mrs. act alamo arrived in this country from Italy, and listening to the plaints of her friends that her husband was not supporting her properly she had a warrant issued for his arrest on a charge. The prosecutor entered a nolle. Lawyer P. F. Mc- Donough and aLwyer Henry P. Roche were counsel for Catalano.
