 k"ouoh On stand
 ! ke0ugh, on the stand, told much the same story as Brighente. Be cause he was sober while the other boys in the crowd had been drink i ing heavily, he was allowed by I.ugli to take the machine. They first went to a restaurant where they lunchod, and afterwards to a bake shop to buy buns for the fishing trip Then they went to Keough's home on North street 10 get flaShlight. When they could not find q light one of the boys in the car, whose name was not mentioned, decided that he did not want 10 go fishing. LugH had told keough to leave the car in front of his house. but as Tony had gotten summons before for parking on the street. Keough explained that he thought it would be better to take the car to q parking grounds, so they started for Honeyman's When they got there they took a few drinks out of bot tie, after which keoush started for the gas station rest room. When he returned Officer GrabeCk ran up, shouted to Brighente and started to question him.
 Cross examined he stated that there was no place to park a car at home and he admitted that hia hands were dirty because of helping AIugli move. He further stated that it is about 75 to 100 feet from the Honeyman yard to the gas station rest room. Officer Flynn, recalled to the stand, stated that he did not see tire imprints on keough's hands
 A tire expert, introduced to the court by Attorney McDonough, de, clared the two tires to be wortl about s7 apiece at the present time
 because they were used and of al
 odd size. Sergeant O'Mara testified : that last night about o'clock Attor ' ney McDorough telephoned to hin and told him that they had a bo. he was looking for and asked if |
 would be all right to bring him tc court in the morning. Lieutenan
 Bamforth, the sergeant declared said that this would be all right.
 Officer Grabeck contradicted the statement made oy keoueh that the rest room at the gasoline station was locked at the time of the arrest
 Woods Condemns Duo
 "There is probable cause here, anC I ask the defendants to be bouns
 over to the next term of superior court" Prosecuting Attorney Wood
 declared in his charge to the judge
 Officer Grabeck is to be commend
 ed, as are the witnesses in this case Keough knew the game was up that is why he stood and let the off
 cer arrest him.
 Neither of the boys had thu slightest idea of going fishing. The, , were off on d dangerous expedition and they needed car. A car wa ; furnished to them.
 How did keough get his hand
 gritty and greasy if it was not iron
 removing tires from a car. The tire
 introduced as evidence were greasy , Brighcnte wants 10 save keough That Is the reason he has shoulders , all the guilt in this case. If tn officer had raised his pistol and ha, , shot Brighente, he would have don . right The boy is dangerous II
 is criminal.'
 "'If Officer Grabcck had raise'
 his pistol and had shot Brighente h :, would have done right.' What a re
 iual, Is this Chicago? The tW were off on dangerous expedition What remarks for the prosecutor t ' make while the boys mother an [ sisters are in the court room listen : ing!' Attorney McDonough stated. T take strong exception to tn r remarks made by the prosecutor. A l the most the state charges theft C [ goods valued at $G5. But the stat $ has not proven that the goods ar l worth over S5O. The state Cannc E prove this, Honeyman is the onl ' man wbo has evaluated the tires an l he does not know how much they ar , worth. The third tire cannot b p charged to the lads, for there is al 7 solutciy no evidence to prove this. , NcDolou2h Responds n Against NtpuSU tHF SL'ttt ii'iN
 only prma facie case. Why sen , it to Hartford? Under Fran
 Brghcnte's story there is nothin
 against Keough. And the tool
