AUTO RIDE ENDED IN FAMILY BATTLE
 Court Takes Three Hours to ThreSh It Out
 BUSINESSMEN WIN AGAIN
Benefit Game For High School May Be Played Next Tuesday-Bad
 Corner On New Britain Road - Camp Ground Program.

Camp Ground Program.
 Three long and heated hours were required last night before the case of Samuel Ciwiczyk of East Broad street could be thrashed out in court and the truth of the TOW which resulted in his arrest Satur- day night learned. CiwicZyk was charged with assault, breach of the peace, and intoxication, it being al leging that he threw Mrs. Bertha
 Bindas, a neighbor, off his porch, in-
 ficting serious injuries upon her.
 The story as finally revealed to
 Justice L. S. Mills through the tangle
 of twisted testimony showed that
 the Ciwiczyk and the Bindas had
 gone to New Britain Saturday eve
 ming in the latter family's car and
 made several visits in that city, ac-
 cepting drinks at most of the places
 where they stopped Binda testified
 that he had not had any. but his
 wife admitted having had a few. On their return to Plainville, the Ciwiczyks invited their friends into
 their house, and Ciwiczyk then ac- cused Mrs. Bindas or saying there was not room in their car for the Ciwiczyk children. This was de- nied, and the scrap followed. The
 testimony at this point was very | conflicting. there being a dispute as
 to whether Mrs. Bindas fell or was pushed from the porch. In view oi | the prisoners intoXication at the
 time, as testified by Deputy Sheriff
 E. W. Furrey, the latter appeared ! more probable. while Dr. George r
 Cook, who treated the woman, saiG
 that she was not under the influence
 Of liquor at that time. She sus-
 tained broken hand bone and bad
 ly wrenched shoulder and elbow muscles. The illness of Constable
 Thomas Royce, who investigated the
 case and knew all the details, fur.
 ther handicapped the search for the truth.
 Several clashes between Prosecu
 tor William J. Foran and Attorney Charles F, Conlon, who defended ,Ciwiczyk, occurred Finally, after three hours of wrangling and cross examining, the case was ready anC l Justice Mills gave his decision. H. suspended judgment on the breacl Of the peace charge and fineC Ciwiczyk s7 and costs for intoXica cox rnrnittint $1O. The total amount paid wa
 $41.66. A 10-day jail sentence wa also imposed but was suspended while Ciwiczyk was placed on pro Eation for six months.
 Businessmen Win By S-i The Businessmen added another to their long list of baseball victor ies last night when they defeated tn, Peck Spring Co.,, nine for the secont time, the score being S4. The hitting and base running of Mike Levine as we'll as the excellen catching of Wild Bill Downham featured. Cliff Lee also pulled { sensational catch in the field. Richie DeLarme starred for the spring . makers, who had trouble connecting ) with Bill Cunningham slants.
 With the return of many of the
 teams followers from their ,vaca y tions, the attendance last nigh Il showed a gratifying increase ove, t that of the previous two weeks.

 l. Dangerous Corner
 To Attention has been called b al motorists to the danger existing O

 that cars going either way on til 's main highway are speeding 10 mab

 ton. These circumstances leave a
