JOSEPH TELESCO ISSENTENCED TO
 NINE-YEAR TERM
Found Guilty To-day on Two COunts-Called
 Brains of Gang

Nine to 12 years in state prison was the sentence given in superior court late this afternoon by Judge Frank P. McEvoy to Joseph Te- lesco, 32, of Pilgrim avenue, after the accused had been found guilty on two counts of robbery with violence. Telesco, charged by the state with being the "brains" of holdup gang though refusing himself to take part in any hold ups, was given five to eight years for planning the holdup of a. gas station at the corner of North Main and Elizah beth streets on Dec 9th and Q four year sentence for planning the holdup of a Hlil street bus driver last September. The sentences mean that Telesco must serve at least nine years at Wethersfield..
 Asst. States Attorney William B Fitzgerald reviewed the evidence for the state, claiming that Telesco had failed to explain thoroughly his whereabouts at the time of the hold-up of the gas station at Eliza beth and North Main streets. He claimed that Telesco's walking through the station yard few minutes after the hold-up had been done with the idea in mind that he would not be suspected If he took so bold step.
 Public Defender Gager attacked the credibility of Peter Cervone and Nicholas Sorriero, state wit nesses who actually took part in the crimes, pointing out that both were under arrest at the present time and that they undoubtedly spoke in the hope of winning light CT sentences for themselves.
 Concluding for the state. States Attorney Lewis declared that Ger vone and Sorriero could receive no leniency for their turning states evidence and that their testimony could be depended on as trust wofthy. He said that Telesco used the other two as tools" and "cats- paws"

NAB SUSPECT
IN NINE FEUD
Gun KILLING

COLFAX. Calf, Oct. J. UP
Wounded seriously and near delir-
ium after laying all night on a
riverbank, John C. Weaver, so, ac-
cused of numbering one man and
wounding another in a bitter min
er'S feud. was captured today by a
posse.
Constable Tom Stanley and a
half dozen poSsemen found the
wounded miner little more than a
hundred yards from the miners
tent on the edge of the American
river where they had slept through
the night. awaiting dawn before at
tempting to track down the fugi-
tive.
With the problem of finding
Weaver solved the officers were
confronted with an even greater
emergency, that of getting him
speedily to a hospital.
To reach medical assistance here
presented an extremely difficult
task because of the rough, wild
nature of the Sierra mountain
country in the vicinity of Iowa Hill
and Guild Run and a three mile
mountainside they must scale with
the wounded man, shot in the side.
They sent a call TO ColfaX and a
physician was dispatched to the
scene of the possemen prepared to
pack Weaver up the mountain on
a burro or an in1-Govised stretcher.
COLFAX, Calf, Oct. l. WP)-
A miners feud that flared into a
fatal shooting affray sent a sher-
ifs posse today into the wild
country of the American river cam
yon above Iowa Hill in search OF
John C. Weaver, so.
Witnesses accused Weaver of fir
ing the shots which killed Barry
Kesterson, 80, and wounded George
Fischter, 40.
After the shootingS, Weaver fled
into the hills, escaping apparently
without injury, from a shotgun fuS-
illade fired by Andy Finnimore,
third of the party which went to
the prospectors tent yesterday to
discuss a claim dispute.
Miners said that recently two
dynamite traps had been set along
the Iowa Hill trails as prospectors
disputed about the boundary lines
of claims. One exploded, seriously
injuring Hugh Kaskito, a miner
They accused Weaver of planting
the traps.
