Cases Against - T o m
Silk and FrankRiiey
Nolled At Trial For
Assault On Hermit
TAKE APPEAL
Deputy Game Warden
Also Given Jail Sen:
stence Which Is Sus-
pended For Year
Probably never before in the his—
tory of Falrfield County has such an
array of counsel appeared before a
justice of peace in a criminal action
-as appeared before Justice M. T.
Gregory in the Wilton Town Court
yesterday afternoon.~ The cases
which called forth the display of
legal talent ‘wcre those of Deputy
Game \V’arden Richard H. Gustaf~
son. Constable Frank Reilly, Thomas
Silk. Alfred Mills and Arthur Simon.
all of Norwalk. and who were all
charged with assaulting Morris
(Dick) Moriarity. Vv'ilton recluse. on
the night of May 8.
Justice of Peace Gregory found
Gustafson guilty and imposed a fine
of $25 and costs and a jail sentence
'of 30 days, the latter to be suspend-
ed for one year. The cases of Thom-
as Silk and Constable Frank Reilly
were nolled. In the cases of Simon
and Mills_ a demurrer was filed and
overruled. theiwo accused pleading
not guilty. A fine of $10 and costs
was imposed in each case. An appeal
was taken to the higher court; the
bond in each case being fixed at
$100. Gustafson. too. took an ap—
peal. His bond was fixed at $200
and was furnished by the state.
In giving the deputy game warden
a jail sentence suspended for one
year. Justice of Peace Gregory estab-
lished a. precedent. local attorneys
say. Usually a. suspended sentence
means that the accused will not have
to serve his Jail sentence if he be-
haves himself for a. certain period of
time. In this particular case, how-
ever. Justice Gregory did not add
that the sentence was to be remit-
ted at the end of the year. As it
stands. Gustafson apparently would
have had to serve athirty day jail
sentence at the expiration of twelve
months had he not a vealed.
Attorney Jesse T. Dunbar appear—
ed for Silk; Attorney Cramer C.
Hegeman. for Constable Reilly; At-
torney Leo Davyls for Mills and Si-
mon and Altoflififl%gn_& Corni-
as of Shelton for Gus a. son. Attor—
ney Paul Connery assisted Grand
Juror George Foote of “'liton in the
prosecution of the cases.
The court room_ which is used for
town meetings and which has a large
gallery overhead, was crowded with
spectators; A large maJorlty were
from Norwalk and included many
prominent sportsmen.
recent also in the court chamber
under subpoena were 11 other Nor-
walk men alleged to have participat-
ed in the night ride that wound up
at Moriarty's farmhouse. There was
not one called as witness. however.
They are: \Viilinm E. Silk, \Vllliam
A. Silk. lidward Patterson. Clayton
Lowdcn. Joseph Miilcr, Christopher
Fay, Frank Stack. Jone Seymour,
Joseph Carroll. Milton Kaiser and
Melvin Gould.
At one point during the hearing of
the case against Silk. some of the
spectators‘szartcd to applaud. Jus-
tice Gregory. however. severely
warned the spectators against rgpi-
tition of the offense.
"If I hear any more applause. I
will have the offender before the
court." said Jllsllcr- Gregory. “and
fine him $10 for cozztempt of court."
This statement kept the spectators
quiet during the hearings.
The first case which came up was
that of Silk. Dr. S;ahl, of Danbury.
testified that he had treated Moriar-
ty at the Danbury hospital for bruis-
(S of the face, shoulders and knees.
He said that areas of skin was brok-
en en Moriarty's wrist. He admit-
ted that the bruises might have come
from any cause.
A second witness was Moriarty
himself. He told the court he was
at his home on the night of May 8
when he heard some \oices call
“hello." He went to the door and
admitted Gustaison and some oth-
ers to the house. Gustafson. he said.
wanted to know if he 0 néd a wagon
which was in a nearb shed. Mor-
iarty said he applied in the affirma-
tive. The deput‘y game warden told
him he wanted to see. it. Moriarty
said hcuvas willing. but asked to be
allowed to put on his shoes and get
his hat and coat. Moriarty said he
went into another room to get his
at and rifle. The hermit went on
to tell the court that the deputy
game and Mills followed him into the
other room and when he reached for
the gun jumped him and tied him
up.r He said Gustafson fired off a,
revolver, but he didn't know whether
the rifle went oif. Moriarty failed
to identify the accused whereupon
Justice Gregory entered a. nails in
the case. '2
The outstanding feature of th ,
case was when a statement in the
form of an affidavit 'mado to the
state police by Silk was admitted as
evidence. Grand Juror Footc’cu-
