Local Man on Trial Before
Judge DaIy--Several Wit
nesses Are Heard

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. l.
John Moritko of 404 Amboy avenue,
Perth Amboy, is on trial here today
on an indictment charging atrocious
assault. The complaining witness
is Mike Kovalsky of 61S Charles
street, Perth Amboy. The state con-
tends that the assault of Kovaisky
by Moritko was the aftermath OF the
murder of Paul Sariko of Sewaren.
whose mangled body was found on
the Inslee street crossing or the
Pennsylvania railroad. John Toolan
is appearing for the state and John
Coan of South Amboy for Moritko.
In stating the case for the state.
Assistant Prosecutor Toolan said
that the indictment was based on
the fact that Kovalsky was standing
on the curb at Hall avenue and
Charles street when Moritko drove
up in his automobile and jumped out
and accused Kovalsky of circulating
reports that he was responsible for
Sariko's death. 1t is alleged that
Moritko said: "Now / am going TO
get you," and without any provoca-
ton began to beat Kovalsky, first
with his fists and then with an UNI
brella.
Kovalsky was the first witness. He
said that Moritko drove up on the
opposite side of the street and after
leaving his car walked over to where
he was standing and began to beat
him. First he used his fists and
then grabbed an umbrella from Ko-
valsky's. hand and began to beat him
with this. Kovalsky received slight
cut on the chin as a result OF the
attack and Immediately reported the
affair to the police.
According to the case, Moritko is
going TO claim self defense, endeav-
oring to prove that he asked koval-
sky If the fact that he was circulat-
ing reports about him was true. at
which time Kovalsky started to beat
him up and Moritko was forced TO
assault Kovalsky in order to save
himself
Three witnesses were produced by
the state, namely. Peter Marsrick'
Carl Micherdzinski and Fred kazor,
all of whom corroborated the testl-
mony of Kovalsky that Moritko had
made the attack without any provo
cation from Kovalsky.
Detective William Fitzpatrick was
placed on the stand and referred to
a statement made to him by Cathe-
rine Silver in which she had said
that Moritko had punched Koval-
sky's face with his fist Although
subpoenaed the Silver woman failed
to appear.
Chief of Police Niels ]. Tonnesen,
of Perth Amboy, was then placed
on the stand and told of the inves-
tigation made in that city. He said
that when Kovalsky appeared at the
police station he had a cut on his
lower lip.
When Moritko was placed on the
stand he declared that no blows
had been struck by either party, but
admitted there had been struggle
over the umbrella which Kovalsky
had. Moritko charges that koval-
sky intended to hit him with the
umbrella.
Charles Machinski and Theodore
Rokowsl<i, on the witness stand told
of being in Cohen's saloon on Oc-
tober 4. when they saw kovalsky
and he showed them a badge ana
said he was going to fix Moritko
and Cohen.
The case is being continued this
afternoon.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov. las
the result of its wheels being
caught in the apertures between
the rails and the planking at the
crossing the automobile driven by
Carl Colhasky of Helmetta, was
thrown from the roadway into the
ditch yesterday morning at 8
o'clock. Mr.. Colhasky was slightly
injured as was also his son Alex
who was cut by flying glass from
the shattered windshield.
The railroad tracks at that point
cross the tracks at a sharp angle
and make the tracks almost to par
allel to the roadway. With the
spaces between the rails and the
planks between the track parallel
to the road it becomes easy for a
car carrying small tires to lock its
wheels in the tracks. throwing it
off the highway.

Baum Truck is Struck

Baum Truck is Stfuck
JAMESBURG, Nov. 1.-Two per-
sons were injured. one being taken
10 the Perth Amboy City Hospital,
as a result of an automobile truck
of the Samuel Baum wholesale house
in Perth Amboy being struck by q
Pennsylvania railroad train at the
East Spotswood crossing near this
place. The accident occurred at
6:25 o'clock when the through train
from Camden to New York City
crashed into the truck, which was
on its way to Perth Amboy after
having delivered goods ordered by
merchants in this section.
The truck was in charge of James
Rielley, of 242 New Brunswick ave-
nue., who received slight injury to
his leg and head, his life was no
doubt saved by the fact that the cab
of the truck was of steel construc-
ton and he was able to remain
within this protection until after the
engine had thrown the truck from
the rails some feet from the cross
ing.
The most Seriously injured was
Joseph Satlora, sixteen years old, of
Hopelawn, the helper on the truck.
He was thrown from the drivers
seat when the crash occurred and
landed on the roadside twenty feet
away. He received a broken collar
bone and several bad bruises. He is
now undergoing treatment in the
Perth Amboy City Hospital
Following the accident the train
was stopped and the men placed in
the baggage car where all possible
haste was made in order to obtain
aid for the wounded man. Word had
been sent to South Amboy of the ac-
cident, and when the train reached
the junction at that place doctor
was on hand to give first aid to the
injured. The train then proceeded
to Perth Amboy where Satlora was
placed in a taxi and rushed to the
hospital. The truck which was bad
ly damaged was renewed to Perth
Amboy today.

Midland Wins Final Game
Midland and Philip, winners of
the two game played Thursday and
Friday, staged batfest on Satur-
day afternoon, in which Midland
came off victor by a score Of 6 to
2. Potter, the Illinois man, who
has been with Gettysburg for the
past season was in the box for the
visitors, and it is seldom a pitcher
is hit so freely, and yet allow SO
few safe ones. As was the case
with the Philip pitcher on the pre-
vious day, only the remarkable sup
port of his team mates saved him
from defeat.
Hengle of Pierre pitched the
game for Pierre, and while he was
not hit as freely as Potter, he was
wild, allowing nine passes. This
coupled with a couple of bone
head plays, placed the game safely
in the victory column for Midland
in the fifth INNING.
Philip made her two scores in
the third, when Leahy drew walk
went to second on Henele's single
and both scored when Gilchrist hit
for two bases. Midland scored
two in the first inning, three in
the fifth and one the seventh.
Potter struck out one and allow
ed four hits: Hengle struck out
six and allowed five hits.
