TWENTY-FIVE AND COSTS
Peter Pessario, an Italian, living near Sixth and Hawley streets, was arrested last night by Officer John Long on a charge of assaulting Michael Johnjakaki. From the evidence produced this morning, it seems that Peter became involved in trouble over a bottle of whiskey, the result of the altercation being that Michael received a cut on the right cheek and a gash on the right wrist.
When Officer Long’s attention was called to the fray, he found Peter hiding in a cellar next door to the house where the fight occurred and arrested him. A fine of $25 and costs was imposed. When Pessario was arrested a genuine Italian stiletto was found in his pocket.
