The case was termed a tempest in teapot" by the court officials after a hearing, Tuesday morning. and Cozy was dis charged.

Fisher told him Co go to his lawyer and then Cozy. introducing his remarks with names not found in an unabridged, told him he would kill him if he ever came to Eastford. Fisher said that he did nothing but stand still and take the tongue lash ing but it was later admitted by him self and witness that he got of his truck.
 Cozv had an entirely different story. He admitted asking for his money and Fishers telling him to see his lawyer but said that Fisher then asked him if he wanted to light and got of the truck and followed hlm, cozy. back to his car in a belligerent manner. Cozy admitted that he got mad and didn't remember what he did say .z.-.-.,.
