Judge Eager of Crimi-
nal Superior Court
The May term of the criminal su-
perior court. with Judge Gasol- presid-
ing. came in yesterday afternoon. Rev.
C. E. Batch. of the Washington Park
Methodist church. Bridgeport. opened
the session with prayer. The first
business of the court. was the puttlns
to plea of the prisoners and the as—
signments of lawyers. All pleaded
guilty but one. After the batch of
prisoners had been put to plea the
following changed their plea. and their
cases were. disposed os as follows:
Frank Whitney was sentenced to
Jail for two months. On the night
of April 6 he broke Into the William
Klnscila drug store in F‘arificld and
stole some cigars, cigarettes, etc, and
then walked to Bridgeport. He was
ondeavorlng to dispose of the cigars
in the. West End when he was arrested
on suspicion. it. was found out later
[that the cigars and stuff had been
taken from Kinsella's (bug store. The
man was taken to Fairfleld to be pros
ecutcd. and Clitus King. the prosecu-
tor of that town. was astonished when
he illiW Whitney. The latter was an
old school chum in Windham county.
“Stunted Sensibilltlsa."
Whitney made quite a plea for him-
self when the court asked him what
he had to say about the matter.
"Well. your honor, it was a case of
blunted sensibilities. Too much
drink. 1 should know better. and I
don't know how i camp to do it. I
was novel- in such troublo before. and
I can refer you to lots of good people
for references as to my character."
The court thought that two months
in Jail would be a corrective.
James Murphy. of Norwalk. plcadcd
guilty to taking two ovcrcoats. As be
bad a record for petty thieving of
some length the court scntcnct‘d him
to tail for ion months. ‘
Maintained Two Families.
The curious domestic relations of
John Kus. a Hungarian who lives ill
the West End. Bridgeport. offered a
puzzle to the court for a time. Kits
was arrested forlhls Irregular rclur
tions with olic Mary Kozachi. uud docs
not, deny that he is the father of
Mary's two youngcst ciiildrcn. At the
some time he has n wife and live or
more childrcn living in the next atrccl.
John maintained the two Liiiiilios on a
small wear in sonic mysterious wuy.
Then an :u-cldcnt happened. Two of
his fingers wcrc amputated. and when
he was at tho hospital the two families
came to thc board of charities to llc
suppol'tmi. That is. how his dual life
was bmugllt. to the attention of flu-
authorities.
Year in Jail.
'l‘hc authorities found that the two
women were not unfriendly. In fact.
It came out. that the Kmaclil woman
had for some llllii" bccll of material
assistance to Mrs. Kim and all the lit-
tle Kussos. It made it all the more
i puzzling for Judge (lager when lic was
