JAMK BOUNDOVER,
 BURGLARY ALLEGED
Youth Admits Several Breaks,
 According to Police Record

Alexander Janik. IT. of Brook jtreet. was bound over to tho su- perior court when nc was arraigned before Judge Benjamin W. filling In police court this morning on charges of sneft and burglary. Bonds. for his release were set at s700.
 ., The arrest of Janik Saturday aft grnoon by Policemen Patrick J. O'Mara and Thomas c. Dolan cleared up several cases of theft and one of burglary that were being int yestigated by the police. Janik was taken to the police station and when |. questioned about the cases he freely admitted his part in them, 1t Is said, and confessed to all his activities. He admitted that the break into the bottling works conducted at 1888 Greenwood street by Morris Silver was his work and that he had stolen check protector valued at $65 from the place. He took the police to a nearby field where the check protector was recovered. He broke the safe ip the place and jimmied a number of drawers, but nothing else of value was taken from the place. He was charged with burglary for this job.
 When apprehended by tho police, he was riding a bicycle that he adz mitted he had stolen from Frank {. Suchcr of Brook street and which was valued at $40. He also admit ted stealing s44 and penknifefrom the New Britain Genesal hospital where he was employed a short time ago as q painter. He also con- tessed, according to the report. to a number of petty thieveries about the city, and gave the police infor- nation concerning other thefts not committed by him.
 Driving While Drunk.
 Two defendants appeared before the court to answer charges of oper- ating motor vehicles while under the influence of liquor and were fined s1o0 each. Albin Johnson was the first n1Rh charged. He was arrested on Church street by Patrol man Peter McEvoy after the man. ner in which he was driving his machine had attracted his atten- ton. McEvoy told the court that Johnson was unable to tell him where he was going to or coming from. Policeman Patrick O'Mara and Lieut.. Samuel Bamforth testi- fled that Johnson was very drunk when brought to the station.
 Peter Fedora of Hartford was the second to answer the charge. He denied that he was drunk saying that he had had only one glass of wine yesterday noon. He was ar rested last night at the corner of Hartford avenue and East Main streets after he hit jitney. Super numerary Policeman O'Keefe, who made the arrest, told the court that Fedora was plainly under the infu- ence of liquor, and his testimony was corroborated by Lieut.. Bam- forth and Policeman O'Mara.
 Doherty Loses Two Cases.
 t< Two alleged reckless drivers ar rested in the South Main street sec ton by Patrolman William A. Do. herty, were released by the court
New Britain herald., 1924-09-22

after the stories told by the police- man failed to satisfy Judge filling as to the guilt of the defendants. In the case of Adeline wellin. the answers given by the policeman to c sharp cross examination by the court. rather proved the innocence of the woman and she was dis- charged.
 f poherty told the court that he arrested the woman last night after she had driven her machine In q zig-zag manner along South Main street. In answer to questions by the court, he said that by driving in that manner, she did not interfere with any traffic on the street. Do- herty said that he told the woman to get out of the machine. and ale leged when she did so. she stag gered against the side of the ma chine. as though drunk. but not enough to charge her with it. he said. The court asked him if he caught the odor of liquor from her. but he could not say he had.
 Louis Nebauer, Doherty's other victim. was arrested after 10 o'clock Saturday night when driving down Whiting street. Doherty said that the defendant had driven along Whiting street at speed of about 35 miles an hour. He corrected himself on several points of his tes- timony when the court asked him questions. so tat In the final analysis Judge All'ng srid that he was not satisfed/that Nebauer had been guilty of reckless driving as a man standing watching a machine approach him, cannot judge the speed of the machine correctly.
 Stanley Grybick started after two young girls last night in an effort to make their acquaintance and &C., company them home, but the girls protested, and when their protests were unheeded, they told their plight to Patrolman Peter McTvoy. who, ar lrested Grybick. Grybick pleaded guilty, and told the court he had learned his lesson. Judgment was suspended.
 Anthony Watrous charged with non-support, had his case continued until October 27 for disposition, and Judge filling warned him that he had his choice of going to work and supporting his family, or going tc jail. He was arrested on complain, of his wife, who told the court that since last May. aIlfhe has given to. ward the support of her and hei three children was S10.
 The case against Jacob Russell and Stella Stowell was continued un, til October 27 for disposition and the couple were placed in care of the probation officer. They changed pleas of not guilty to guilty wher their cases were called. They were arrested last Friday after they were located by the police living as mar and wife. Their arrest followed tho receipt of communication from thu woman's husband, whom she de serted five years ago, coming hert with Russell.
