Scalise Now Scheduled For July 27 Conference

Men's Lacrosse and Women's Soccer Coach Robert L. Scalise will appear at a conference with Middlesex Country District Altorney Timothy Spillane on July 27 to discuss whether charges against him for being an alleged accessory to an April assault in Brook-line should be brought before a judge.

The conference was scheduled at au arraignment in Brookline Municipal Court yesterday. No bail was set in the case stemming from an alleged attack with a baseball bat on a 16-year-old male by an unidentified man who drove away in an automobile allegedly bearing the license plate of Scalise's car.

Scalise yesterday declined to predict whether the case, which charges him with being an accessory "after the fact," would go before a judge, saying his attorney, Albert F. Cullen, had spoken with the district attorney, Cullen could not be reached for comment.

Scalise also said he would refuse to discuss the investigation, which apparently has not implicated him in the assault itself. He did, however, say that his car had been incorrectly identified as the getaway vehicle, adding that "I basically saw the [assailant's] car get away, but I can't identify it."

Scalise said he was in his car at the time of the incident and was not alone. He would not elaborate.
