The testimony in the ease was completed yesterday after Assistant Prosecutor Frank J.

He also said under direct examination by Gaudielle he knew complaints were being received 5 against General Disposal, but on cross examination by Cuccio he admitted that even though he 1 was aware of the complaints he had never done anything about them. i Character Witnesses Gaudielle, before resting his case, in behalf of the called several character witnesses who testified as to Schlelder's good reputation uid standing in North Arlington.
