JUSTICE PENTONY
HAS BUSY DAY
JOE LUSTRO APPEARS BEFORE
JUSTICE ON CHARGE OF AS
SAULT UPON WIFE
P. J. DELUHERY IN JUSTICE COURT
Arrested on Charge Of Writing Check
On Local Bank Without
Funds

Justice Of the Peace J. ]. Pentoly
was a busy man on Monday, for in adj
dition to his regular work in the Of
flee he had brought before him Jim
Lustro, an Italian of the West Side,
who was charged with assault and
battery, with intent to do great bodily
| injury 1t appears that Mr.. Lustro and
his wife have been having domestic
trouble for some time, and that on
Sunday they engaged in a fight dur-
ing which the defendant is said to
have struck Mrs. Lustro on the heaa
with a hammer. After hearing the
Testimony Of number of witnesses
Mr. Lustro was bound over to the
grand jury, which meets on the OPEN
ing day of the October term OF Dis
triet Court. The defendant was able
to give bonds and was released from
the custody of the sheriff.
P. ]. Deluhery, who has been liv-
ing on the John Evans farm in Coz
fins Grove township during the past
two years, will be more careful in the
future regarding writing checks in
payment of accounts, when his funds
are at a low mark. On Monday he
was brought before Justice Pentnny
to answer to the charge of writing a
check without funds in the bank. The
information against Mr.. Deluhery was
sworn out by Hall G. Turner, in whose
favor he wrote the check for fifteen
dollars, in payment of bill of gro-
ceries. The check was drawn on the
Farmers & Merchants Staten Savings
Bank Of this city. The feature which
made this transaction so serious for
Mr.. DeluEery is the fact that he did
not have a checking account at that
bank and that he was aware of the
fact that there were no funds in the
bank to honor his check. Justice Pen
tony sentenced the defendant to thirty
days in the county JAIL This sentence
was later changed by agreement of
all parties concerned to a fine of
twenty-five dollars, and the payment
of the fifteen dollar check, and the
costs incurred in trying the case,
which amounted to S10.05. Altogether
this transaction. cost Mr.. DeIuhery
$50.05.
Merchants of Manchester, as we'll
as merchants elsewhere, are not going
to put up with the annoyance of hav-
ing checks returned and marked mo
funds" and. are going to use the strong
arm OF the law to check this evil.
There is not week but that the mer-
chants have any number OF checks re-
turned with the above notation The
officers inform us that a movement has
been started to prosecute every one
who writes check in payment of
an account, without sufficient funds
to honor such checks, or for the pur-
pose OF getting money under false
pretense. The Deluhery case should
serve as warning to every one who
may have been careless in this matter.
