He asserted thgt Kilbourne was dellebartely falsi- fying when he said the gates were rded and posted with lights. Re- ing the reckless driving, the law- ! ¥er for the defense recalled the testi- mony of statée witnesses saying that Gnnsr was not guilty of careless- | ness. "He struck the gate because the usual warning lantern was not there,” argued the attorney. All Deny Reckleas Driving. A. Harris, who said he was a dis- sted witness, told of the accident said that the auto slowed up in rfinnt of H. L.

With ‘his evidence the defense rested and th the prosecutor and the lawyer for the defense made their closing ar- guments for conviction and acquittal respectively. Judgo Blames Railroad- In making known his decision Judge Meskill argued the case and said that regarding the reckless driving the evidence was somewhat -conflicting, 8‘" inasmuch as officers and both Mr. oyle and Mr. Desmond as well as Mr. Sanderson declared that the car was not speeding and the fact that the lowered gates were not properly guarded with a light he would have to find the accused not guilty and would order his discharge. The break- iing of gates was due to the negligence of';some employe of the corporation he declared. In reply Judge Andrew said it is really a matter of incident that the question of the gate lights came up. He also attempted to discredit Des- | mond’s testimony and insistently maintained that Gagner. was guilty, d so proven, of reckless driving. head lights should have given if he had been driving careful- | 1y,” said the judge. "I will deny the | motion this time.” i Y Gagner Takes Stand. After a short recess Mr. himself was called to the stand. He briefly described his little Buick car | and said that on the night of Decem- bqg 28th, accompanied by his wie, | his son, two sisters-in-law and This | brother-in-law, ‘were returning from a party at the north end of the town. On Main street he slowed down in front of his restaurant and then went ahead but not very 'fast. Only nis dash lights were burning and . they | @&o not throw any light ahead. He was | akgolutely sure there was no light on the north gates and he noticed that one of the south gates over hung the ether so as to hide the lights there. He stopped on Church street because one of the ladies was cut. At ‘he | station house Officer Hellberg said he, was not going over fourteen or 4@ifteen miles an hour. Personally, Mr. Gagner did not think his speed | exceeded ten or twelve miles an hour. He said he broke through the north | gate because he didn't see it, but cnce on the track he saw necessity of | continuing to get out of the way and | avold being hit by a train. Just be- fore hitting the gates Gagner said he Wwas preparing to stop in front of the Sanley building, but the party decid- | ed they wanted to stay with him while he took his car to his garage.

A sister-in-law of Gagner, Mrs. Julia TLa¥Flamme, was in the car | on the night of the accident and said that in front of her home in the Stanley building the car slowed up to let her and her husband out, but they changed their mind. She saw no lights on the gates. Only two Jit- | tle oil lights were burning on thesay- tomobile, she sald, as Gagner net use his powerful sear the city.

This manner of distribution was sat- | isfactory to Judge Gaffney and he or- dered the estate divided on that plan. These figures are only approximate as the government must be paid a war tax.

The shares of stock in the American Hardware corporation number 6,996.
