 plaint of Peter Malys of 50 Collins street. who told the officer that Car
 ko~ski threatened to assault him 1 and called him vile names without cause. Mrs. Malys. who was in her
 Husbands car. heard the a1tercation
 and blamed Czarkowski.

 tlfled that he accompanied his broth
 er-in-law in an automobile as far as
 Rockwell avenue, arriving at the home of friend on whom his hrother-in- law called, shortly before
 midnight. His brother-in-law was at the wheel Of the car. and as Car
 KoWski stepped out. Malys called him
 an improper name which lie resent cd. He admitted that he had re- , moved his coat and overcoat and offered to lick" Ma1ys, but he said 1 the loud noise which Officer O'keefc heard while standing at Arch and Winthrop streets was caused by
 Malys. According to the officer, | Czarkowski had been drinking.
 Judge Roche inquired of Malys whether he was certain that Car kowski was driving the car and Malys replied that there was abso- lutely no question about it. Attor- ney Gordon said the witness who 1 could prove that Czarkowski was not at tho wheel attended court twice , but the case was continued both
 times and he was not present today, which was unfortunate for Czarkow-
 ski Assistant Prosecuting Attorney i Greenstein said breach of the
 peace had been committed. and there
 was no question of Czarkowski's guilt
 on the other counts. Judge Roche
 said he could not ignore the testi-
 mony of Mir. and Mrs. Malys and for
 that reason he made a finding of guilty but he did not feel disposed to impose 8 penalty on the registra- tion count, for the reason that Car
 kowski did not own the car and the ! certificate was introduced in evi-
 dence, so that there was no doubt
 but that the car was properly regis tered.
