|SEX PERvERTS
 HIT BY JUDGE
Street Worker Bound Over to Superior Court Under
 5000 Bonds

Citing the nationwide series of sex crimes in recent months, John F. McGrath in city court today bound over Matthew Melacio, S4, of 27 Mitchell avenue, to the next term of superior court on a charge of indecent assault on an ll-year- old girl. The court fixed bonds at $3000.
 "These fellows are running wild all over the country-these sex per- verts", declared Judge McGrath. q think something ought to be done to stop them" Last Saturday, in continuing Melacio's case, the judge declared that sex crimes will not be tolerated in Waterbury.
 Melacio was arrested last Friday by Lieut.. Detectives William Pollard and William Foley, and Patrolman Walter Boulanger. The indecent as- sault charge was placed against him by the detectives after he had first been arrested on suspicion.
 It is alleged that Melacio,, erl- ployed as a laborer on the Willow street paving project, enticed the 11-year-old girl into the cellar of a nearby home. It Is claimed that he gave the girl dime and told her not to relate the incident to her family. That night the bilr told her mother, who in turn notified police. Melancio was arrested and identified by the youngster.
 Melacio waived examination in the lower court, and will be tried in superior court when the fall session opens next month.
