 The fight with his partner which resulted ill the latters death started over financial matters pertaining to their business, LoBocchiaro told police. He said the shooting was the climax of a long argument, and denied he premeditated murder. The gun, he said, was one dropped by bandits who had robbed his store some time before 1928. After the shooting, he said, he dropped the gun into the Hudson River, made his way einto Pennsylvania and re- mained in country towns working on farms for living.
 A short time ago he came to Con- necticut and after working for some time around the tobacco fields near Hartford, came to Waterbury four iIlOllpllo doc. 1lC lCIl IIlC O4lASClo lLN came to this country about 1922 and four months after his arrival joined the U. s. Army.
 Whether LoBocchiaro will be charged with first degree murder depends on whether he made plans to kill his partner, or shot him in the heat of argument.
 While he told his questioners that he did not fire until Sabello made a lunge for his pocket, as if to pull gun, he also admitted that he had been jabbing his gun into Sabello's ribs and threatening in- jury unless Sabello agreed to straighten out his financial diffi- culties of their business.
 In view of this, it is possible that LoBccchiaro will claim he shot in self defense.

 BY HIS TENANTS
Local OPA Office Investi- gates Case; Overcharges
 Are Alleged

Alleging his landlord collected excess rent, a tenant of the Water bury area has instituted damage suit in a state court in accord- ance with provision of the federal rent regulations. The case which has been investigated by local rent authorities involves two Tofring- ton residents. Stephen sSMarfyak, tenant, and George Peters. land lord.
 The plaintiff claims he was oyer- charged $2 for the mouths of Aug ust through December, and for the $l0 excess payment he seeks $500 damages and an allowance for counsel fees and court costs. Fed eral regulations state a tenant who is oyercharged may demand treble the amount of excess rent involved or else $50 for each excess payment made and collect court costs.
 The case has aroused consider able interest here as 1t is the first court litigation to be filed by a ten- ant for excess payment. despite the fact that many violations have been called to the attention of the rent officials.
 Most tenants have been satis- fled to receive the amount paid in excess and have been reluctant to
