"l Hope That All of the Cases That Come Before the New Britain City Court Are Not of This Character Is Remark Made From Bench.

Anthony Petrauskas, local real estate man who is serving Is days sentence in jail for attempting to buy evidence in superior court cRil case, has been awarded the verdict without the weight of the evidence which, the court ruled, he had attempted to obtain by bribery.
 Petraushas had been sued by Phiiias J. Gagner and Alfred Roy who claimed he had agreed to as- sume mortgages of s11,500 on Park street property to close deal. Mrs. Rozalia Pierzanowski, the new owner. foreclosed a sG,O00 mortgage and forced Gagner and Roy to pay. whereupon they brought action against Petrauskas for remunera- ton. He refused to pay claiming he mad never entered into the agree mcnt. Before the superior court hearing, 1t is alleged, Pctrauskas at- tempted to influence the testimony of Andrew Petuskis, another party involved in the real estate dickering ny SNlng nm a check for $1.000. As a result, he was remanded to jail for 5 days on a contempt charge.
 F. E. Hungerford and Josiah II. Peck represented Petrauskas, and Thomas F. McDonough and John IT. Robinson were attorneys for the plaintiffs.
 In passing judgment, Judge Jen- nlngs remarked: Three of the fou, lawyers engaged in this case in ef- feet called the witnesses a pack of liars. MT. Robinson confined himself 10 calling them stupid. The defend- ant is now in jail for trying to pur- chase testimony. I hope that all of the cases that come before the New Britain city court are not of this character. The judge of that court has my sympathy"
