Joseph Okula of 69 Miller street. also a first cousin of Adam Okula. testified that he was walking through Broad street yesterday forenoon about 10 o'clock. having made the round Of the factories in search of emp loyment, when Officer kiely seized him by the arm and said: Now Two got yon." Taken by sur Irise. Okula asked the officer the reason he was seized, and the off ccr seeing his face, said "Oh. ex- cuse me. I've got the wrong party" Officer kiely, recallod 10 the wit ness stand, said he nad never seen not approached any~-1e on Broad street yesterday in the manner de scribed. Officer O'Mara, recalled by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein, said he and Officer kiely were not out Of each others sight for one second between 800 and 10:30 o'clock. therefore il was i'm possible that Officer Kiely had ap- preached Joseph Okula-
 Questioned by Mr. Greenstcin, Joseph Okula said Adam had asked him at o'clock yesterday afternoon 10 coma to court and testify in his behalf. although Adam, according to MT. Greenstein, was not arrested un- til o'clock and could not have known he was being sought unless he had been driving the car, which he denied. Relative to Adams test- mony that he was in the barber shop when Officer O'Mara entered, the latter said it was very possible that such was the case, because he re- called that he had gone into the bar bershop for a drink of water and there was a man in the chair. Be ing in a reclining position, his face was not easily visible 10 the officer, who went directly out after taking drink.
 Attorney Ginsburs claimed there was sufficient doubt to justify a dis charge, and he emphasized that Oiii- cer 0 Mara was especially vehement in his attitude an unusual condition to meet where this officer is con- cerncd. Whether Louis Okuia had worked in four years or not, he could have been driving the car and the officers could have been mis- taken, the attorney contended. MT Greenstein said 1t was not his GUS tom to attack defense witnesses but it was plainly evident that the f1rst cousins of the accused man had of fered manufactured evidence" to save him.
 Grabowskis Go Free
 The charge of violation of the liouor law against Mrs. Josephine Grabowski and her son. John Gra- bowski. of 54 Concord street, was nol!ed by MT. Greenstein, who said there was insufficient evidence to obtain a conviction. John pleaded guilty to the charge of reckless driv- ing and was fined s.5 and costs. Judge w. F. Mangan, defense coun- sel said the young man was driving at the rate of 35 miles an hour on Broad street last week, which was entirely too fast, all things consid- tlbu. l1ONcNti, IC tlN iiCt 'AA' accident or endanger the life or property of anyone, therefore it was not serious case.
 MT. Greenstein told Judge Roche Grabowski drove away and left his mother to her fate with gallon of alcohol which she carried out of the car and apparently was to bring into store when Officers Grabeck and Cosgrove apprehended her.
 The continued cases of Martin Crabowski and his sons, John and William. and daughter. Alice, all ot 54 Concord street, were disposed of f with suspended judgment. Judge w. F. Managan said Alice. who ap- rarently caused the disturbance which resulted in the arrests on March :. had left the family and peace was reigning in the household
