Frank Iorio, 30, of 92 Franklin street, was bound over to the next session of criminal superior court on charges of taking a car without per- mission and larceny when he was arraigned in city court this morn ina before Judge John L, Gaffney. Iorio was also charged with op- erating an automobile while his H. censc was suspended but a rolle was recommended by Pros. Michael J. Galullo which was granted by the court. The larceny charge arose out of the accused taking goii sticks valued at $50 from the stolen car and secreting them in the woods outside of Waterbury. Pros. Atty Galullo said the police have not recovered the golf sticks because the accused could not remember where he hid them.
 Iorio was picked up by the Hart ford police Tuesday night while he slept in the sedan stolen from a parking lot on Spring street, and owned by John A. Cluney, sports edite-. for The Democrat.

 After the vehicle overturned, Krieger freed himself and ran on foot into the wooded section on the side of the road but the two officers finally caught the man when he fell to the ground after Patrolman O'Grisek fired his pistol into the air to frighten the fleeing man.
