West Norwaik Men Receives a
Sentence of Six Months, With
Costs of the Case, for Brulal
Attack on Vito Coiocuico~
Wite and Children Deslltute
Judge Edward M. Lockwood had one
of thuscharacteristically hard proposi-
tions that are frequently put up to
the justices of local courts to decide.
yesterday afternoon.
Oil one hand was John Stermlsky.
who stood convicted of an assault
which was of such ll vicious nature
that the phenomenal feature of It was
that the man Injured, Vito Colocuico,
was not killed outright, instead of
being able to appear in court. Ster-
mlsky had deliberately taken up a
heavy hammer and leveled a blow at
Colocuico‘s head. the impromptu bluil-
goon plowing across the right side of
tho forehead and down the nose, criisli~
Illg and smashing the laticr and brcak~
illg it in two places. Ill addition to
this. thc accused had struck Mrs. Colo-
cuico over the head with an iron
saucepan.
On the other hand was Stcrmisky‘s
wife, unable to speak hardly a word
of English. and the niothcr of five
children, the oldest eight years of age
and thc youngest a mile of a baby
which first saw the light of day but
five wmks ago. Deprived of the little
support of the dangerous husband. she
was thrown upon thc world and iii an
entirely strange country.
It was up to thc judge to decide
_whcthcr the accused was to be taken
away from licr and incarcerated In
jail to meet the cud of justice. The
judge ponllcrcil long ovrr the raise, for
the interest of tlic stntc had to be
\vcighcll as Well as those of the man‘s
family duties. ’I‘llc dilly of his office
had to be considered from u t'illm and
unbiased point of view.
"Six months in jail,“ finally uttered
the judge. Ill addition Siermisky was
ordered to pity the costs of the case.
which will keep Illni at the Bridgeport
county jail until about the first of
next June.
When the lnturpretorwwlorle Kne-
Ilk. repeated the. sentence in the moth-
er tongue to the convicted mall and
his wife, there was was not the least
change of expression visible ill Stcr
inisky‘s face. The woman. who cvl-
dently had not utiticlpalcd such iIIl
outcome from the court's proceedings.
Immcdiutcly becamc li picture of (Ice-
pair. For several minutes she stood
with a vacant expression while trying
to comprehend the situation.
Deputy Sheriff John W. Sciillcy
stepped up to Sicrmisky, handcuffed
Min and took him oilt of court. The
titan looked neither to litc right nor
left, and did not even bid ills wife
goodbye. Aficr the sheriff and Ills
man llllll boarded lite trolley car for
the South Npl‘walk railroad station.
the nbandoncd wife and mother stood
on the sidewalk gazing after it wist~
fully and finally burst Into Icnrs, She
gave vent to her gricf and suffering
for sonic time, while many people
passing ignorant of the cause.
Realizing that. site must go some.
whorc she finally started on the long
walk to her little home and children,
some five miles away on the Step
Rock road. The judge had asked her
If she could take care of her children
If her husband was sent to jail and
she replied that she did not know.
Stermlsky and his funllly have been
occupying a portion of the resilience of
the Coiorulcos. and the assault was the
result of a doillllnd by Coloculco that
Sterliilsky pay rent due.
Stcrnlisky is known as a bad man
generally. and It is claimed that he

and painful automobile accident, yes-
terday afternoon, while returning from
tho Danburv Fair in their car. They
had reached a point about, five miles
this side of the Fair ,Ground. when
they came upon a drove of cows being
driven into a burn yard. They were
going at a fairly fast pace, and It ap«
pcnrcd that all the cows were out of
the way. One of the foolish animals
turned back and ran into the road di-
rectly iii front of the auto. There was
no time to swerve the car to one side,
and it struck the cow fair and square.
upsetting the auto and badly damag-
ing the cow.
Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler were both
thrown out. Mrs. Wbccler being shot
about ten foot through the air, lighting
heavily ill the roadway. Mr. Wheeler

inoncd to attend them. It was found
that Mr. Wheeler had sustained a frac-
ture of the left arm above the elbow
