 Other witnesses testified that Su-
 dal did not strike anyone and caus- ed no disturbance. Another man

 cd, according to Sudal, accused . boy of theft of $50 and trouble started. Sudal had nothing to drink except soda on Monday, he said, The reason the police thought he was intoxicated was that his health is poor, he said.
 Attorney Monkiewicz said SudaI should not have been arrested. The witnesses the state admit they want ed another man but the police only took Sudal.
 Judge filling said Sudal is evil dently celebrating, because tomor-
 row is the first anniversary of his arrest on charges of breach of the peace and drunkenness
