 Andrew and Sophie Mrowka of I Woodland street were freed of charges of breach of the peace and assault last night in the local court when the evidence against them was found insufficient by Justice Merritt o. Ryder. The case was the result of . family row between the Mrowkas and Mir. and Mrs. James Kane. who rented from them the apartment on the first floor of the Mrowka house, Mrs. Kane claiming that the two had beaten her.
 Evidence given in the courtroom was to the effect that the Kanes' apartment was filthy beyond de- scrlption and that the state board of health had investigated. Mrowka served them with notice to quit as a result of this. On April 2S. Mrs. Mrowka was in the yard, she said, when she saw smoke coming from the window: upon Investigation. she saw that Mrs. Kane was burning papers on the kitchen stove. Mrs. Mrowka alleged that this was done to blacken the walls of the apart ment In order to "get even" for the notice to quit. Mrs. Kane charged that her landlady had struck her in the face with a child's shovel, but there was no evidence of words be- tween the two.
 Mir. Mrowka was summoned 1 from the Trumbull Electric Mfg. O.. where he works. and he said he told his outgoing tenant she must stop burning things in the house. She charged him with striking her head against pipe and he said she had choked him. Mrs. Kane's story was the only evidence against the Mrowkas. and Attorney Charles F. Conlon, who defended them. said that the case was evidently one of spite on the part of Mrs. Kane. Her testimony was held insufficient under the circumstances. and the Mrowkas were released. Grand Juror William J. Foran prosecuted.
