Hartford, Dec. 9. - The appealed case of Anton Feidorczyk of New Britain. who was fined $1o and costs in New Britain on November 22. for interfering with Policeman Patrick Howley Gustav Hellberg and Peter Caheus and Street Sergeant George Ellinger. took up much of the time in the superior court today Attorney Robert Butler of Hartford appeared for Feidorc2yk, who has already brought civil action against the above named policemen on charges of false arrest, theft and assault.
 Evidence Presented

 Dr. J. l.. Kelly testified that on No vember 21 he was called to attend Henry Kovetski, IT years old, of 45 Alden street, who had been badly beaten. After attending him, he ad- vised that the police be called and as a result the FiedorCzyks were ar rested. The doctor said he did not think the wounds which the boy sui fered could have been inflicted with a bare fist.
 Father on stand
 Hillary kovetski, father of the fight victim, testified that the battle W hich lasted upwards of an hour, and said that when the police did not re spond to a telephone call, he made a personal visit to headquarters. Desk Sergeant Samuel Bamforth testified that he received a complaint about the fight at 7:45 and at S:3O o'clock the elder kovetski called personally. The officer dispatched Policeman FIellberg and Cabelus to the scene of the alleged trouble at 4S Brown street. He said he gave them no warrants of any kind. Sergeant FL finger and Patrolman Howley joined the squad before they reached the scene of the fight.

Patrolman Howley said, hit him with a pail while Feldorczyk hit him with a stick. 1t was testified that while searching the house for brass knucllles, with which kovetski was alleged to have been hit but which were not found at any time, Patrolman Howley found two fur coats and quantity of cigars. on the presumption that these had been stolen, they were taken to police headauarters, according to testimony
 At the opening of the afternoon session, Lawyer Butler motioned for a dismissal of the case. He claimed that the arrest and seizure was Nio- lation of the constitution. He also asserted that. there was no warrant used and quoted a number of people of authority.
 He also claimed that the resistance of the search took place after the boy was arrested and out of the house. The lawyer also alleged that it was a deliberate, unlawful and ignorant trespass and that the man and wife had a right to defend the boy in their own home.
 Judgment was reserved by Judge Malfhio.
