J. f=_l Timely Arrival of Workmen Probably Saves Life of Plant Employe When John Wyravi, of *34 Amboy avenue, waa arraigned before Recor der Plckersgill yesterday on a charge of atrocious assault made by Selcl Walshlk. of 3f2 Wagner avenue. De tectives Long and Qutowskl told the recorder that the accused had badly beaten up the complainsnt and that only for the tlmly arrtvel of others he would have killed him As a result the recorder held Wyravi In 3500 ball for the grand Jury. If the boll Is not forthcoming today he will be taken to the county workhouse by City Mar shal Moore. According to the evidence which the detectives secured in the case, both men were employed at the plant of the Barber Asphalt Works and Wyravi picked a quarrel with Walshlk and when they left the plant he attack ed him and beat him so badly that his noee was broken and his face a mass of cuts and bruises. It was nec essary for him to be taken to a doctor for medical attendance. As soon as he was able he reported the matter to the police and Chief Burke assigned Long and Qutowskl to the case with the result that they placed Wyravi under arrest.

The fowls, forty-five In number had died from the effect of the acid, ac cording to the story told by Cotlos and his witness, but they could not prove whether or not this was so and as a result Recorder Plckersgill de cided that he could not hold Halpern The case It Is understood will now be made a civil instead of a criminal one and tuken to the local district court.
