fort by Anthony Stasaitis to prove
that he is not guilty Of the charge
Of tampering with an automobile

planned that he had poured oat
meal into the gas tank Of her uncle's
automobile. The arrest was made

lowing the attendance by Stasaitis,
the complainant, her uncle and sew
eral others to wedding celebration
in a hall on Washington avenue.

corroborate Stasaitis' story that he
was in the tavern at the time Of
the alleged oat pouring, and among
the witnesses was Daniel Sweeney.
The complaining witness positively
identified the accused.
