ONCE INSANE, PRISONER TO
 STAND TRIAL

The Criminal Superior Court will be confronted with an unusual situa- tion tomorrow when the case of Louis Markus, 33 years old, charged with assault with intent to kill, is brought before it.
 In November, 1921, Markus, em- p1oyed as night janitor of the Security building, shot fellow employee, Will liam Anderson. When apprehended Markus was carrying two revolvers. While confined to the Fairfield County Jail, where he was committed pending his trial, his actions were extraordf- nary. He was put under observation and was pronounced insane by Drs. Stanton Smith, c. c. Godfrey and E. M. Trecarten. He was sent to the State Institution for Insane at Mid dletown.
 November 20 last, Markus was re- turned to the Jail, being pronounced cured. If he were insane at the time of the perpetration of the crime it is probable that he may be resea1ed when his case comes before the court

CHARGES COP
 HAD CRUDGE
Dr. Yocke1man Thus Ex- plains How His Car Was Tagged - Fined S3.

Testimony to the effect that pr. Isadore Yocke1man of 2534 Main street, became so enraged when Pa troIman Ba1inski placed a tag on his car for parking it more than 12 in- ches from the curb that he tore the tag into bits and refused to answer to the summons, helped to enliven an otherwise dull morning in the City Court today.
 The tag was placed on Dr.Y ockel- mans car one day last week and when he refused to report to police hea dquarters as directed by the tag, a warrant for his arrest was sworn out by the prosecutors office. He was through his attorney, w. J. O'Hara, pleaded not guilty to the charge. The case was bitterly waged, and with every point the state gained in the testimony, pr. Yockelman became more enraged. Previous to his case pr. Bernstein had been fined $3 for parking his car on the wrong side of the street and when Prosecuting Attorney Richard Swain made the mistake of calling him Dr. Bernstein he snapped back at the prosecutor that his name was not Bernstein.
 As a defense he stated that the of- fcer had placed the tag on his car because he had a grudge against him. This the officer denied and the defense then tried to bring out that the officer was not friendly with the owners of Schwartz garage. They did not state their purpose in trying to learn this information, but Dr. Yockelman formerly kept his car in Schwartz garage and it is thought that they were trying to prove be- cause the officer was not friendly with to "get'' one of Schwartz's patrons. pr. YOckelman was fined S3.
