ON LOVING PAIR
Judge Fines Couple $50 Each
After Hearing Fairy Stories

Clark street. and Mrs Elizabeth
Adamowich, aged ~. OF sos Stanley
street, told stories to Judge NJ. D.
SAKE In police court today when
they were arraigned on the charge
of improper conduct, which the
court did not believe and a fine Of
$40 and costs was imposed on each.
Officer Walter Wagner and I-adis-
iaus Todzia testified that they found
the couple in Walinski's tenement
about 1913 Saturday night after the
woman's husband had complained of
her unfaithfulness. Officer Todzia
told of peering through crack in
the door and seeing Mrs, Adamowich
on Walinski's lap. whispering words
Of love and ;''fection to him so
loudly that ,.:e officer could hear
them plainly.
Walinski. however. had an en-
tirely different explanation of the
incident. His Wife and two children
are in Waterbury. he said. and re-
Gently he became acquainted with
Mrs. Adamowich. who visits a wom-
an living in the Clark street house.
About 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon
Mrs. Adamowich came to his tene-
ment and after considerable talking
and drinking. became unable to
leave unassisted, SO he started to
take her home when ''the wagon"
came. He was positive the arrests
were made on the street and not in
the house. He admitted that he
visited Mrs. Adamowich few weeks
ago and found her husband at home.
Mrs. Adamowich went Walinski
one better when her turn came. She
told about going to call on her ac-
quaintance and reading a Polish
newspaper until her eyes panied
her. She remarked to her host that
she could not see very we'll. and the
latter suggested that she go upstairs
to Walicki's tenement. as he had
two pairs OF glasses and might sell
her one Of them. She went upstairs
and found Walinski and another
man there doing their best to kill"
a bottle OF liquor, She joined them
and drank more than was good for
her, whereupon she asked that she
be allowed to sleep for a while.
Walinski readily agreed that sleep
was what she needed and she had
been in bed. fully clothed and
alone. but a short time when the
police arrived.
The complaining husband testi-
fled that his wife has been making a
practice of remaining away from
home for several days at time. and
returning for only few days. He
was surprised few weeks ago when
Walinski walked in on them with
out bothering to knock on the door,
and when he asked his wife the rca-
son for the visit. she simply replied
that she knew Walinski. Adamowich
said he and his wife have seven chill
dren, the youngest being years OF
age.
Judge SAKE told Mrs. Adamowich
she should be thoroughly ashamed
of herself and If she did not stop
drinking and misbehaving in the
manner indicated in the testimony
she could expect to go to Jail, re-
CARELESS of the large family in need
