Mrs Leni Miranti faced arraignment before U S Commissioner Earle N Bishopp who said the high bail protected her from bodily harm. Her husband Gondolfo Miranti 37 and Joseph P Carlino 43 were also jailed in $100,000 bail each on conspiracy charges tied to the April 5 assault as Riesel left a Broadway restaurant. The government says Riesel was attacked to deter testimony before a federal grand jury on labor racketeering.
