Dominick Domiano, age 44, of 41 Benson place, Freeport, was arrested Tuesday by Sergt. Yulch, charged with assault in the second degree on the person of Mrs. Catherine Polito of Bennington avenue.
Police headquarters was. called at about 9:l.'i in the moming and a re- <|uest for an officer was sent in. Sergt. Yulch was dispatched to the address and returned bringing in the prinici- pals in the case.
Mrs. Polito was covered with blood and it was running from several cuts on her head. Dr. A. Ferree Witmer was called and attended her, finding several cuis on her scalp that had beer, made, in his opinion, with a blunt instrument.
-According to her story, Domiano had cla'iiied that he had purchased the house where she is living. Her land¬ lord had told her nothing of the channe and when Domiano appeared as a landlord she ordered him off the place, not knowing who he was.
She was washing by the pump Tues¬ day morning in the back yard of her ; home when he appeared again and . told )r.\ r that he was the owner and that she would have to move Septem¬ ber first. She told him that she did not know him and aske<l him what he was doing in her yard. He became en- r>»ged, she stated, and walking over to the wood pile seized a piece of wood and returning beat her several times over tlie head anti on the left wrist.
Her face covered with blood, she fell to the ground, but was soon on her feet and off in search of a telephone. VVhen ¦^iie anived a< lhe police station she was faint from loss of biood, but able lo tell her story in a straigiitfor- wani way.
Domiano on being told that he had a rifjhl to counsel, retained Harry ('lock, who entered a plea of not.'- guilty. The case was held over until Friday at one o'clock in the aftemoon •md Domiano was released in the cus- - todv of his lawyer.

Fearing that it might be alive and that someone might touch it. he endeavored to remove it. using his rubber bathing cap as an insulator. The cap was wet, and when the body was found he still clutched it in his hand. ^ '

House owners of Freeport who are going on vacations are requested by Police Captain John N. Hartman to notify police headquarters the date of their departure, in order that their house may be watched while they are away. It is important that they give him the exact location of their house, street and number.
