 A fine Of sl0o and costs and q suspended jail sentence of three months was meted out to Quirino Sotle of 50 James street this morn ing by Judge Joseph Nj. Donovan in police court on two charges of as- sault with a dangerous weapon and breach Of the peace. Charges of breach of the peace against Louis Giovianillo and Bartholomew Lom- bardo. who were slashed about the head with a razor wielded by Sotle. were aolled by the court.
 Sotle, who was represented by Attorney Joseph r. O'Conneli. plea d : cd guilty to the three charges and for that reason the testimony of wit resses was dispensed with. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Rober J. Stack. however. gave a brief resume of the case as told to him by Lom- bardo and Govianillo.
 According 10 the prosecutor the three men all married sisters and reside in a three tenement house at the James street address. On Eas- ter Sunday, following the custom of the people, the men engaged in a. drinking orgy which continued un- til after o'clock the following morning. Mrs. Sotle, seeing that her husband was considerably under the influence Of liquor, finally persuaded him to leave his brother-in- -laws 6 apartment on the top floor and re- turn 10 his own on the first floor. They had been there but few min utcs when Sotle engaged in an argu- ment with his wife and started to beat her. Mrs. Sotie screamed and both Lombardo and Giovianillo rushed to her assistance. Lombardo entered the room first and Giovian- illo was immediately behind him. Sotle. seeing the two men, became enraged and grabbing razor rushed at the two men, slashing Lombardo across the left check and Giovianillo near the mouth. Lom- hardo. weakened by loss of blood, slipped to the floor and Sotle again slashed him. this time across the top of the head. Mrs. Giovianilli then appeared and grabbing her hus- band. pulled him outside and es- capped Sotle's wrath. Mrs. Lombardo was so badly frightened that she hid herself behind a rose bush in the yard, where she was later found by Officers Messier. Doolan and Me- Carthy. who were rushed to the scene following telephone call re- ceived at police headquarters.
 The officers approached the house and in answer to their knock. Sotle himself opened the door and told them that all the trouble was up- stairs. Upon reached the third floor apartment, the policemen found Lombardo and Giovianillo engaged in washing out the wounds. All three were brought to police headquarters where the two injured men were at: tended by pr. B. D. Robbins, police surgeon. When the case was pre- scented to the court Monday morning. the case was continued until today by Judge William J. Malone upon the request of Assistant Prosecutor Stack. Lombarde and Giovianillo were later released on bonds of 3lo0 each and Sotie has been at liberty under a bond of @l,000.
 Attorney O'Connell. speaking on behalf Of Sotle. stated that his client, who has resided here for eight years. did not know what he was doing on the night in question due to the large amount Of liquor he had consumed during the day. He pointed out that the best of rela- tions had always existed between the three men, who were naturally thrown together a great deal be- cause Of living in the same house and the additional fact that they had all married sisters.
 The razor offered in evidence this morning was later found by the Of ficers about 30 feet from the house where 1t had been thrown by Sotle after the slashing. Two small pieces. broken of during the scuftle were found on the kitchen floor Lombardo had miraculous escape from death. the coat which he was wearing at the time having been slashed in several places by the weapon.
 Judge Donovan In suspending the jail sentence. informed Sotle that if he was brought to police headquar- ters for any charge within the next year. 1t would immediately be placed into effect
