Description
The most interesting case was the
mutual breach of the peace and assault
cases brought against each other by An
thony Spinello, the court interpreter,
and Stefano Biannelli, on employe of
Sargent Co. On March 22 the two
men got into a very Interesting fistic
argument on Chapel street, between Or
ange and Church streets. Each accus
ed the other of being the aggressor in
the fight. After some more or less
flighty arguments and ethical discus
sions tin the parts of Messrs. Goodhort
and Pond for the two men interested
Judge Bishop decided that Spinello had
suffered enough at the hands of his ad
versary, so suspended judgment, while
Blannelli was fined $5, a judgment from
which he appealed.
