BREWER HELD ON
 BENCH WARRANT
Nine Counts for Violating State Liquor Control
 Act Says Acorn

Hartford, Conn, NOV. 1.-(UP)- Anthony P. zazzaro, Al, brewer and for many years one of the city's most influential Democratic leaders, was held today on a superior court bench warrant charging him with nine counts of violating the state liquor control act.
 The warrant, obtained by States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, specifi- cally accused him of extending credit to 8 liquor permittee beyond the 30-day statutory limit. Alcorn said that if the fact war ranted, the case would be present. ed to a grand jury. Zazzaro, arrest ed last night, was released in $5000 bond pending arraignment next Wednesday.
 The warrant charged that zazzaro advanced a total of $5508 to nine permittees during 1899 and 1940 either through endorsing notes or appearing as co-maker of notes.
 The law prescribes that a manu- facturer cannot give credit to any person associated in the liquor bus mess beyond period of 30 days, ano was enacted to prevent manufac- turers from owning or controlling taverns, grills or other places where liquor was dispensed.
 One packer, according to the war lrant, was a member of the zonins board of appeals and another for. mer president of the city welfare board and a former Republican al derman.
 Alcorn said the information or which he based the arrest was fur nished by investigations for tn, state liquor control commission. Zaz zaro was arrested at his office at th' Dover brewery.
 Zazzaro was arrested in 1885 or income tax evasion charges. A com promise settlement was affected ol payment of $7500.
 In the same case. he pleaded guilty to failing to file tax returns and was fined $250.
 At the time, the government claimed his income for five years from 1929 through 1932. was more than $l10,O00. Zazzaro contended il was $67,709. The defense claimed the discrepancy was due to improper bookkeeping.

Alexander Robertson, 40, of 1863 East Main street, was arraigned be- fore Judge John l.. Gaffney in city court this morning on a charge o1 operating a car under the influence of liquor.
 Robertson was driving on Thomas ton avenue about month ago when he struck the car of Joseph T. Horan of North Summit street. Southing- ton, according to the testimony of of Michael DiLeone of 3o2 Lakewood road.
 Tn summarizing his case before the court, Atty. Albert Hummel ! spoke in his clients defense and said, If an odor of drink is an indica- tion of intoxication then the court may become farce" He said he himself indulged in one drink but that did not establish the fact that he was drunk.
 As Michael J. Gallullo presented the states case, he observed, "One drink is much too much" for the : driver of the car. Gallullo said, If one drinks, he should not drive the car"
 pr. J. Borchardt, of St. Mary $ : hospital staff, testified that the ac- cused was admitted to the hospital for a fractured jaw.

 pr. Borchardt stated in court that one suffering a fractured jaw could be unconscious or else in dazed state.
 Atty. Hummel questioned the doc tor how long the condition could last, pr. Borchardt stated it could last for days. The reaction could possibly be a week, the doctor said.
 The accused had gone to Water vile to a bowling alley over the Post Office and had remained about half an hour where he met lTleIlQ. lIlS two IISIl lSlI Ille alleys and went to tavern where each had one drink, according to the accused testimony. They part ed outside the tavern and MT. Rob- ertson proceeded home. He was hit by the car and did not remember anything until he found himself in the police department.
 Judge John L. Gaffney fined the accused $10O and cost. Atty. Hum mel appealed the case to the com mon pleas court and bond of $50 was posted.
