.D|DONATO FINED
 ON TWO CHARGES
Suspended Jail Sentences Imposed for Assault,
 Concealed Weapons
(SpeciaI to The Democrat)

Watertown, Jan. "A total of $89.7O was paid in town court here last night by Lorenzo DiDonato, of Oakville, following his arraignment before Justice Russell Pope on charges of aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon. He was fined $25 and costs on each count. Jail sentences of 30 days were also imposed on each count, but sus- pended in view of the fact that Di- Donate surrendered himself to au- thorities.
 The charges against the Oakville man grew out of a fight outside 8 tavern last October. Sam Spagnolia was wounded by a bullet allegedly fired by DiDonato when he sought to act as a peacemaker in an argu- ment in which DiDonato was in- volved.
 DiDonato disappeared after the shooting and was not found despite a search by authorities. A few weeks ago he returned and surrendered himself, saying he had been hiding l i'll Boston.
