Breaking down and weeping when Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin found his guilty of attempted statutory burglary in superior court yesterday afternoon, George Majeski of 44 Brooklawn street had to be assisted back to the prisoners pen to await his transfer to the county jail to serve a 6O-day sentence imposed by the court. Majeski was charged with attempting to enter the tene- ment of John Cossick. who lives In the same house. on the night of Mo- vemher 16.

 When arraigned In the local po- lice court, Majeski claimed that he had received the cut week before the alleged attempted break whn he the alleged attempted break when he factory where he was employed. In explaining the origin of the cut yes- terday, Majeski told the court that he had gone upstairs to the Cossick tenement thinking that Cossick Was home. He went up to purchase some liquor as he had done on previ- ous occasions. according to his story.
 Getting no answer to his knocks Maiesk said that he went onto the porch and started to rap at the win dow. but as he had been drinking and was partly under the influence of liquor, he rapped too hard and broke the pane of glass He denied that he made any attempt to enter the tenement.
