Conlon of a warning 10 those who kept open and which resulted In the appearance of lD'Antonio and Manillo, the only ones who failed to heed the warn 14. Justice L. s. Mills found both guilty and fined each S7 and costs after which Attorney S. Gerard Casale of New Britain, who repre- sentod them, filed an appeal to the superior court.
