 The three men were at Calicndo's
 home on Bank street and according 10
 the story told by the accused men n
 card game was in progress. An argu-
 ment arose which soon ripened Into
 a fist fight. caliendo ordered the men
 from his house and the trio proceed
 ed into the yard where general
 melee started. In short time, blood
 was seen squirting from Caliendo's
 neck and he shouted Ines done the
 job on me-"
 Caliendo then fell to inc ground and II was seen that he was badly wounded. A hurry call was sent in for Dr. George F. Cook, who upon examining the cuts. applied first aid and ordered Caliendo rushed to the New Britain hospital The wound which was inflicted by single blade straight knife, starts at the ton of his head and extends to the back of his neck and from there goes around the right side of the neck, across the throat and ends on the left side of the neck. It lacks only two inches of meeting and is deep ugly gash. A superficial examination of the wound showed that the knife blade had missed severing the jugular vein by a fraction of an inch.
 Constable F.. w. F'urrey who was called into the case, summoned his brother officers and then sent in a call for the state police. Two answered and about midnight, they rounded up Saviano and Farina both of whom are | alleged to have been implicated in the i affair.
 Several bottles of liquor were found 1 in Saviano's home on West Main ! street and from all evidence gathered i so far, there had been much drinking at Caliendo's house.
 Efforts were being made today to | round up a number of witnesses who are said to have been spectators of | the fight. The knife which is alleged | to have been used by whoever did | the cutting has been secured by the | police and sledge hammer and other which were used in the battle were also seized and taken to the New Britain police station where copies of the fingerprints on them will be taken.
 Saviano and Farina had the ap- pearances of recuperating from bad beatings. As they sat in the cells in the lookup, both displayed bruises, cut lips, black eyes, cuts about the face and hands and Jumps on the skull. Each planes the other for using the knife while the police have been un- ,ble to get statement from Calien- To- It is thought that Caliendo knows who slashed him.
