kitten. During the afternoon he had
had drink and when he went home
in the evening he told Mrs. Girardi
very plainly that in the future she
was to mind her own business. He
said he had not used threats. He had
spoken in Italian. He claimed 10 be
dissatisfied with his present living
quarters and said he had tried al va
rious times to find another place Of
residence but without success.
He told the judge he was sure Of
what he had said to Mrs Girardi Sat
urday evening in spite Of his after
Moons indulgence in intoxicants, but
with almost the same breath he ad-
mitted to the court that the LIQUOR had
so added his wits by Saturday eve
ming that he had evidently placed his
knife in his pocket without so intend
ing
Mrs. Ginquegrene eorrohorsted the
story Of her husband. at least so far
as claiming that no threats had been
made. She said that the morning
quarrel had been over the persistent
interference of the Girardi kitten
with her work. At her husbands re-
quest she had brushed the kitten aside
and this had aroused the ire Of Mrs.
Girardi.
In the evening. her husband had
been drinking too much, she admit
ted. but said that no threats were
made. A verbal conflict between her
husband and Mrs. Girardi had occur
red and the Girardi children had done
much to aggravate Cinquegrene's
wrath
George Jacques testified to having
witnessed the Saturday evening quar-
rel and Captain Bulger Of the police
department said that Mrs Girardi had
been in the habit of making com
plants about her neiRhhors in the
past.

tenee, said, "Cinquefrene, | find you
guilty on three charges. You We're
drunk, you disturbed the peace and
you carried knife with blade which
was too long. fine you s. AID costs
of Sl1.74 on the first charge and IS
with the loss of the knife on the third
charge. That will make total pen

any more complaints about either YOU
or Mrs. Girardi quarreline there will

for either you or the 6irandi family
to move some place else"
Leo Brousseau appeared before the
court on the charge Of non-sapport Of
wife and child. Mrs. Brousseau
withdrew the charge as her husband
had returned and had promised that
he would remain with her After
Brousseau had told the judge that he
realized the enormity Of the crime
which he had committed he was freed.
J. r. Green Of Pomfret was fined
