TOMORROW CUBAN EYE-POPPER

and Officers Spooner and Tierrey when the tenement was visited about 1850 o'clock. Before going in, they | listened on the sidewalk for about 20 minutes and although the house | is about 40 feet from the street they could hear loud talk. He un" derstood the language that was used by Murzyn and the woman and he heard them arguing about 25 cents l at a distance of 40 feet and the ot- ! for a bottle of beer. Judge Ira Ceski interrupted to ask the officer if he was sure he heard the voices l ficer replied that he was positive.
 The door to the tenement was not locked, the officer said, so he and the others walked in and saw Mrs. Piszkowsli sitting at a table, while Murzyn was standing up, swearing at her and pounding his fist against his other hand, emphasizing his l statements.
 1 Murzyn testified that he has been delivering butter and eggs "all over New York; for the past two months and last night he arrived in New Britain with Mrs. Piszkowskis 15 yeaT-old son and companion, Mrs Piszkowslli having written to him to request that he pick up her son, who had left home. When the po- lice came into the house he was eX- l plaining to Mrs. Piszkowski the trouble he had rounding up the boys | and getting them home. As to talk l ing loud, he explained that it WAS natural for him and sometimes he | talks too much" but if he had been | told to be more quiet he would have obeyed. He objected very strenuous ly to the action of the police in en- tering a house in the middle of the night and turning everything up- side down." "They wouldn't do it in my house. he declared.
 Dry in New York, Wet Here 1 As to his condition, he said he ] had two drinks in New York and | brought bottle of liquor with hln. but he had nothing to drink with Mrs. PiszkowSki and the only beer | that was on the premises had been brought there by Mrs. szkowskis s i father, who left for home about an 1 hour before the arrival of the po- lice. Murzyn assured the court that | he Gocs not drink when in New York, but in New Britain it is dif- | ferent because he has so many 1 friends he cannot be other than 'sociable." 'I ain't got grudse against nobody" he said.
 In reply to Mir. Greensten, i Murzyn said he did not recall see l ing or hearing Mrs. Drobinski As to the bottle which he brought from New York, he laughed and said he did not know what it contained.
 Mrs. Piszkowski took the stand and denied that she sold beer or liquor or that there was u dis turbance in her home during the night She was overioyed at the safe return of her son and she was dsposing of the fatted calf, as it were.
 Mans Home No Longer Castle
 Judge Mangan argued that there was not sufficient disturbance, ac cording to the evidence, to justify the police in going into the tenement without warrant. "There was q time when mans home was lis castle but that does not mean any thing lately" he said The situation as he saw it was that Murzyn, on behalf of Mrs. Piszkowslii objected to the raid and he was entirely Justified in so doing. If the poilce came into my house at that hour without reason I would object moro strenuously than this man did. Judge Mansan said. He asked, in conclusion, that the court disregard Mrs. Piszkowski's record and weigh the circumstances in the existing i case alcne. and he also made Inc point that the woman could not he "n habitual disturber or the Drobir | skis would have taken steps to eV'ct | her. Any property owner renting a basement tenement must expect some inconvenience. he maintained, i because families who live in base { vents ordinarily are not possessed of money.
