Thousands of residents were star tied at 4:10 p. m. yesterday r,y vibra- ton which were believed to be caused by slight earthquake. The ground movement continued for several sec- onds and was followed by a muffled roar like distant thunder.
 The vibrations were so distinct and the noise so alarming that several hundreds telephoned 10 police head quarters to learn whether an explo- sion had occurred in this vicinity. Lieutenant Samuel Bamforth felt the police station tremble and thought the noise was caused by the slate roof sliding off. He went out on the street to investigate.

SPARKS ASSAILANT
 SENTENCED ID JAIL
Wilezynsko, Given 60 Days, May Spend Easter With
 Family

Louis Wilezynsko of 24s Broad street was sentenced to 60 days in jail by Judge Benjamin W. Alling when he was arraigned in police court on charge of assaulting former Con stable George 4. Stark with bottle on March 26. Wilezynsko pleaded not guilty and claimed that he did not know who Stark was and hit him when he saw the constable put a re- volver up 10 the door, Judge William r. Mangan represented the defendant and secured a stay of execution of the sentence until Monday to enable Wileczynsko to spend Easter with his family.
 The case has been continued on several occasions due to the fact that MT. Stark has been confined to the New Britain General hospital since the day of the assault, suffering from con cussion Of the brain. pr. II. T. Bray testified in court that Mir. Stark had gash over his right eye that re- quired five stitches to close and an N-ray examination at the hospital re- yealed that there was fracture Of the skull just above the left eyebrow.
 Mir. Stark told the court that he went to the house on March 26 to serve papers on Mrs. Wilezynsko, hav- ing been there the night before and removed graphophone upon which he was required to place an attach ment. When he arrived at the house he went upstairs to the tenement of the defendant and knocked at the door. After a short time wilezynsllo appeared at the door but when he saw Mr. Stark he refused to open if. The upper panels of the door were glass and as Mir. Stark was rs ching mp to drop the writ in over the door, wiloxynsko picked up large tonic bottle from the floor and threw 1t through the glass in the door, strik- ing Stark just over the left eye.
 Patrolman John Liebler, who ar- rested Wilezynsko on warrant after the assault, testified that the dofend- ant admitted to him that he struck Stark with the bottle.
 Wilezynsko said that on the day Of the assault, he was in bed and was awakened by a violent knocking on the door. He got out Of bed and went to the door where he saw strange man outside asking 10 be let in. He said that he did not know who the man was and asked him what he wanted. He alleged that Stark said, never mind who am. Polaci:, open the door or I'll show you -ho ann" Stark Is then alleged to have levelled a revolver at the defendant. according to his story, breaking the glass in the door as he did so. wilezynsko claim ed that he became frightened and picked up the knob Of the door which fell out when Stark knocked on it, and struck him over the eye ~th it.
 Judge filling told wilezynsko that he would be doing himself more good if he would tell the truth about what happened, but the defendant refused to change his story and was found guilty.
 Assistant Prosecutor William NJ. Greenstein asked the court to impose severe penalty in the case as there seems to be a number Of people who do not realize that an officer in the performance of his duty is fully pro- tected by the law. and that people who undertake 10 assault them can expect to be dealt severely with by the court.
