 Agnes Lynn, 29, who gave local hotel as her address, was arrested along with Russell, and, like Russell, obtained a nolle on charge of breach of the peace.
 Sergt. Mariana testified he arrest- ed Russell on the complaint of a bartender that Russell had tried to pull a "f1lim- fam on him. As he was conducting Russell and Miss Lynn to the wagon at Savings and North Main streets, the detective said, Miss Lynn grabbed him by the coat, and Russell smashed him vicious blow over the left eye.
 Despite his injury, Sergt. Mariana took the pair into custody. Other charges against Russell were oo- taining money under false pre- lenses and resistance.
 No evidence was avilable on the false pretense charge, so sentence was suspended. On the resistance charge, Attorney Summa brought out that Sergt. Mariana "harbored no revenge in his heart" and the counS was nolled with the admcli- ton by Judge Gaffney that police men must be respected.
