 Floria would not give it 10 him and Mandis threatened him, saving there would be trouble before the night ended. Crossing back to the door of his tenement, Mandis kicked it and Mrs. Siloskt came down and ordered a discontinuance of the noise.
 By this time Mandis had gone in 10 his own tenement, Iloria's wife having used q key to open the door for him, her purpose being to pre- Clu1e trouble. Mrs SloskI came in 10 the hallway and knocked on the door Of Mandis tenement until Mandis came out. Mrs. Suosld or dered him to stop his noise as he was disturbing her baby.

COAST GUARD REPORTED

 Guard Academy, In Hospital.

New London, Sept. Is P) - The condition of George Norves, 20 years old coast guardsman, who was in Jured in a boxing bout with Earl

deprived of his freedom for a long time as he is not it to be at large among society. Relative to the Sil- oski couple, AIr Woods said there was no question but that the wo- man caused the trouble by ordering Mand.s to be quiet. However. there is the fact that she has eight chil- dren to be taken into consideration in d!sposing of the case, he pointed out.
 Attorney Alfred Levitt, represent ing Mandis, asked for a discharge on the ground that Mr. and Mrs. Sil- oski charged Mandis while he was in drunken condition and so in furiated him that his hot blooded nature asserted itself and he wielded .a knife. The attorney admitted Mandis was not within his rights when he used the knife, but he call ed the attention of the court to the fact that the man had been cut and was bleeding. and being alone and not in proper control of his faculties on account of drink, he was driven 10 the desperate attack that caused his arrest.
 Attorney Monroe S. Gordon, rep resenting MT. and Mrs. Siloski, ad- mitted that the latter had commit ted an assault on Mandis, but she had provoCation and her husband certainly could not be blamed for rushing 10 her defense when he saw her being held by the throat by
 Mandls. who had the knife in his other hand ready to bring it down upon the woman. Taking into con- sidcratiOn all the circumstances as brought out by the testimony, At torncy Gordon said he felt the couple entitled 10 q discharge. At torney Levitt said S1,500 bond was too high in Mandis' case but Judge SaXe said the term opens next Tues day, which is only a few days dis tant, and in the event that Mandis is able to raise a bond of less than Sl,5Up, the attorney may call the fact to the attention of the court and arrangements will be made to
