DENIES INTENT TO SHOOT
 IN DISPUTE OYER WAGES
Employe Admits Abusing Employer But Says He Meant No
 Physical Harm.

Louis Marsh, aged Al, of 94 Rox- bury road, admitted in police court this morning that he used harsh language yesterday in a discussion over sales commissions with Walter Lockwood of East Hartford, his em- ployer. in the local office of the Re- gina Vacuum Cleaner Co.,, Room 212, United Building on Main street. He did not threaten to shoot Lockwood. he said, although the latter on the witness stand demonstrated the po- sition of Marsh's hand in his over coat pocket. which, he said, filled him with uncertainty as to Marsh's intentions. Lockwood said he was reluctant to press charges against Marsh as he believed drink had driven him out of his right senses and prompted him to cause the dis turbance which resulted in his ar rest by Officer T. c. Dolan.
 Marsh pleaded not guilty to the charge of breach of the peace and Judge Hungerford suspended judg- ment after telling him he should not threaten or abuse people who owe him money, as there is legal meth cd of settling these matters. Marsh said he estimates that he has earned s44 but Lockwood has paid him only s6.50. Yesterday the feeling came upon him that Lockwood was using him for "a fish," and he went to the office and told him so. He did not intend to frighten Lockwood and If his hand had the appearance or a frearm in his pocket, 1t was unin- tentional, he said.

 Frank E. Rackliffe first opened a hardware business in the old Humphrey barn on Arch street be- tween Locust and Monroe streets. His brother. Fred H. Rackliffe, and he entered into partnership in the new business when it started in 1896. The partnership terminated tragically in 1902 when the brother was killed by runaway horse while delivering merchandise.
 Mir. Rackliffe then incorporated II. s. Walters and the firm of Rack life Bros. became Rackliffe Bros Co.,, Inc. MT. Platt was elected president of the board of directors and still retains that position. Mir Lewis subsequently, moved away from the city. MT. Walters still re- mains on the board. Following in corporation, the business was re- moved to the site now occupied by the New Britain Lumber Co.
 In 1910 Frank l.. Rackliffe, Jr. son of the former partner, entered the business as credit manager ant later took over the management ot the agricultural implement depart ment, which he has developed te its present size.
 In 1915 Fred o. Rackliffe, now representative in the general assem- bly, for a second term, and a sor of the retiring manager, entered the employ of the firm as a sales man and in 1923 became secretar! Of the board.
