Hejna not guilty, of assault upon 
Stanley Kowkowski by Judge Sears 
at district court in Salem Monday 
afternoon. The men adjudged guilty 
were each sentenced to three months 
in the house of correction. Each ap- 
pealed and was held in bonds of 
$500. The assault occurred Sunday 
night at a Polish wedding at Man- 
chester. The police found Kowkow- 
ski on the floor behind a door with a 
plenteous supply of blood around 
him, caused by a severe wound on the 
right forehead. There were eight 
barrels of beer at the house,—not 
kegs, but barrels. The wedding fes- 
tivity started Saturday night, on For- 
est street, and came to a climax with 
the fight which resulted in Kowkow- 
ski being nearly killed. <A clarinet 
was the instrument used in the as- 
sault, which accounts for the fact 
Kowkowski wasn’t killed. Dr. Blais-
