The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-03-30

Anthony Wernecky, 3S, who gave the residents of the golf lots colony of "squatters" a thrill yes- terday afternoon by riding home in a taxi cab must now find work and pay the price of his transpor- tation. "In the future you boys up there should charter a private car and chauffeur" Judge John F. Me- Grath advised. Sentence was sus- pended with the understanding that Wernecky pays his taxi fare to the probation officer.
 In court this morning Wernecky was charged with evasion of fare. He explained to the court that he had spent considerable time walk ing about the city yesterday and when he became tired he decided to call a taxi to transport him to the golf lots and to his palatial shack. Whether the thought oc- cured to him that he was giving his neighbors treat is unknown, but anyway Wernecky rode home in style, but he didn't stay there. When he failed to produce the money the taxi driver, Mir Ricciar- di of $40 Hamilton avenue, put hts passenger back into the car and drove him to police headquarters where he spent the night.
 q thought I had two dollars. knew I had two dollars when I hired the taxi, but when I got home I couldn't find it," explained Wernecky.

 Police Lines Formed
 During all this work of blasting through the steel barriers hun. dreds of spectators thronged the yard. As the size of the crowd in. creased it was necessary to estab. fish a police line to keep back the curious.
 Of course there were all sorts of guesses ventured as to the why and wherefore of the raid and the identity of the owner. One of the agents in charged remarked that he was not speaking for publica- tion. He intimated that consider able investigation had preceded the attack and that more would be necessary before warrants were asked for arrests. He declined to confide his suspicion of identities and offered no comment on names suggested to him.

which preceded the raid it is ap- parent that the visit was not a chance one in any respect, but one planned for weeks. It was claimed that the agents started on the trail on advices received from New York. Shipments of flavoring and coloring liquids and other articles are believed to have aroused sus- picion. By checking up on con- signment slips of express and trucking companies the federal agents were led to the Canal street headquarters. Last evening the squad visited the premises and in- terviewed one J. Codianni, owner and resident of the building. Doors of the basement were heavily pad locked. The place was at one time a tenement, but its outward ap- pearance today would suggest a garage. The locks on the doors were removed. The agents were confronted then with a massive door of steel. It is estimated that 5000 wouldn't cover its cost price. After taking one look at 1t the agents turned their attention to a brick wall partition. They then proceeded to smash their way through. It took sometime to break a passage, but it was accomplished after some Iaborious work.
 Vault Real Wet
 The vault was literally a store house of "wet goods" The agents found and checked 21 barrels of colored alcohol commonly called rye whiskey. Each barrel con- tained 50 gallons; there were 26 D. gallon glass jugs of rye; 10S quarts of wine; two and one-half gallons of wine in a 10-gallon container, 20 gallons of wine, cherry and port. in another keg. Cartons of bottles designed for all purposes, but mostly associated with gin. were found. There were several thou sand bottles and more than 10000 labels which placed on them would assure the purchaser that he was buying nothing but the genuine stuff, pre-war, imported, guaran- teed etc.
 After removing this cache the agents then sent out a hurried call for assistance. Workmen with acetylene torches were called from a local factory. They started in at once to blaze their way to new discoveries.
 Five Huge Safes
 Five big safes one would expect to find in a big business establish ment were lined about the main room, with wooden partitions dividing the quarters. Four of the safes were found locked and one open.
 The mechanism, which included the combinations, of four were wrecked, in fact big. gaping holes were burned in the doors, ruing | them.

Crowds Attracted

When the news of the raid was circulated hundreds visited the plant to marvel at the massive safe door and the steel Repositories. The crowd surged about the agents and their workmen in such numbers that Superintendent of Police Jo- seph H. Mclean, who paid a visit to the scene posted uniformed of- f1cers at the entrance to the prem- ises. It facilitated the work of the government agents in effecting general cleanup of the place. When they left they carried with them letter heads of we'll known business firm and circulars which might incriminate prominent resi- dents. Boxes shipped here from Baltimore and other cities in the names of local agencies were also found on the premises. It is possi-

he was to be transferred from the jail hospital to the jail proper some time today" said Sheriff John Kelliher. "The jail physician. Dr Harry Coburn, examined him yesterday and reported he was able to be transferred, although he has not completely recovered from his wound"
 Gray and a railroad detective were wounded in a duel fought at close quarters in an Allston store several weeks ago. Captured Ia ter at a hideout in Greenfield, N. H., Gray was returned here and Identified by many witnesses as the alleged leader of a chain store holdup gang. He was treated at City hospital and then transferred to the jail hospital from which he escaped to-day.
 The break was discovered when two taxi drivers espied the im- provised ladder dangling from the cell window. Investigation tndi- cated that at least one automobile. perhaps two, had been awaiting Gray and Zamotel and had whisked them away.
 Four other prisoners confined to separate cells in the jail hospital professed to have no knowledge of the break. Among them were Samuel Gallo, awaiting new trfal on a charge of murdering Joseph Fantasia, and Jack Berger. wound ed in gang warfare in Winthrop last December.

Some of the boys in the colony are of the opinion that Wernecky and his high-hat ideas will have income tax agents calling on them for an explanation of their "earn- ings" and sources of income.
 A plea of dependence and ill- health was offered to-day as ex- tenuating circumstances for the activity of Mrs Helen Turkevicze in the liquor business. She took a chance, so 1t was admitted. and her business career ended after four day experiment in her arrest. Judge John F. McGrath after hear ing her story placed her on pro- bation for one year. She has prom ised to find some other means of livelihood.
 Mrs Turkevicze, who resides at 39 North Leonard street, is q widow and has been In poor health. She started to dispense moonshine to a few acquaintances and was arrested on March 18th. She failed twice to appear in police court and a bond of $500 furnished by a friend, Mrs Mary Bruzevice, was declared forfeited. To-day the case was reopened and a plea of guilty entered. ts

 Gy DIR VIM. A. TAYLOR Chief, Bureau of Plant Industry, U. s. Department of Agriculture)
 Gardeners can gain from two weeks to a month or more in the blooming season of some annuals, and can look forward to larger and better developed plants of others, if plants are started indoors considerably in advance of the nor nal planting season. This is more important, Of course, in the north, where the season is short, than in the south, but even in the south the more tender plants are less likely to be killed or stunted by frost if plant ed indoors and allowed to grow in flats, boxes, pots, or cans until danger of chilly weather has passed.
 A good south window enjoying almost full sunlight, or box win dow facing south, is much to be preferred.

 Biggest Wet Raid
 Big stills have been captured in Waterbury, prominent restaurants and banks radied and many well known boys in the glorified busi- ness of bootleggery have fallen into the hands of the authorities, local and federal, but no incident in years involving a prohibition en- forcement act, aroused half the public interest as that occasioned today.

 In January, 1891. while under indictment on a mansiaugnter charge, he escaped from a Lewis ton (Me.) hospital where he was being treated for injuries. He was reca blurred the following April, was sentenced to state prison. ap- pealed and was committed to Cum berland county Jail in Portland, Me.

 It was learned that a young wo- man. whose identity was not dis closed, visited Gray within the past week, but jail officials said 1t would have been impossible for her 10 smuggle the hacksaw to Gray be- cause of the presence of guard. Gray was last seen at $40 a. m. to-day when Peter McFadden. a guard, made his rounds. Gray. appeared to be asleep, McFadden said.

ISSUE FOUND
 FOR DEFENDANT Mrs Thulin Loses $lO,0OO Suit for Death of Her
 Husband AT REYNOLDS BRIDGE

Issues for the defendant are found in decision handed down in the superior court tuday oy Judge Frederick M. Peasley in the $1O, ,000 suit of Agnes Thulin, ad- ministratrix, of Thomaston, against John A. Macdonald, state highway commissioner. The plaintiff sued to recover for the death of her husband, Herbert Thulin who was killed when the car in which he was riding crashed through the railing along the highway near Reynolds Bridge on September 1T, 1890.
 Judge Peasley in denying the plaintiffs claims states the plain- tiff failed to sustain the burden of proof that the highway and rail- ing were not reasonably safe for public travel at the time the car became unmanageable and left the travelled portion of the highway. Attorney Vincent A. Miller ap- peared for the plaintiff. Attorney Walter E. Monagan represented the defendant.

Good drainage is essential, as too much moisture is likely to cause "damping off," fungus disease.
 Soil for Transplants.
 For the earliest germination, soil need not have much organic matter. But if plants are started early in the season 1t usually Is wise to transplant them to other soil as soon as the first few true leaves develop.
 For transplants, a soil with con siderable organic matter Is dear- able-sphagnum. finely granulated peat, or leaf mold rubbed through a sieve and mixed with fine garden loam. In boxes the plants may be spaced an inch to an inch and a half apart: if in pots, singly or in pairs with the expectation or pinching out the less thrifty Of the two plants.

should be prepared carefully. A mixture composed of about half garden loam and half fine sand is suitable for sprouting the seeds. It pays to sift this soil through a rather fine sieve or through u piece of wire screening tackled to a frame.
 To prevent sprouting of weed seeds, bake the soil for an hour or more in what the housewife knows as a slow oven with a tenn perature of from 200 to 250 de- grees.
