 Twelve vitne sses were called in the case of Jacob Eschoo of 262 Park street and John and Lucy Sar- gis of 21 Divinity street, each Charg- ed with breach of the peace and as- aault, the session lasting until after II o'clock.
 The arrests were the outcome of street battle staged in front of the Sargis store on Divinity street on the night of July s. At the time EsChoo was arrested and when pre- sented in police court he pleaded guilty and q fine of $10 and costs was imposed. Due to the fact that he speaks no English and was unaware of his action in court, he asked that the case be .reopened. Attorney Jo- seph P. O'Connell was engaged to represent him and the request to | hear additional evidence was granted by Judge Joseph Nj. Donovan. In the meantime IISChoo lodged counter complaints against Sargis and his wife and they were arrested last 1 Friday.
 It was brought out in court this morning that the argument started over rent money paid by Eschoo to Sarsis on July l. The latter testified 1 that Eschoo paid him the sum of S30 on July 1 for months rent.
 He moved out on July and he asked Sargis 10 return the rent 10 him. Sargis agreed according 10 his testimony to return half the rent and the argument started when an agree ment could not be reached. Testi- mony presented showed that Mrs, SarGis, who is soon 10 become Q mother, was bruised on her left ankle, left knee, left side and left shoulder. It is her and her husband S Frontention that they were received when she was pushed 10 the side walk and kicked by Eschoo. Several other witnesses corroborated the testimony of Sargis and his wife. On the other hand. Eschoo denied that he had touched either of the other two defendants, and his testi- mony was also corroborated.
 Both Attorney James T Mather counsel for the Sargis couple, and Attorney O'Connell for Eschoo sub jected various witnesses to sharp cross examinations and the tcsti- | zF ,,.l given through an interpreter, proved conflicting.
 Judgment in Eschoo's case was suspended on payment of costs. Mrs Sargis was discharged,
