Because he refused tu exhibit his | uperator's license when a demand for 1he same was made by a police officer, James A, Lutes,\ who conducts a feather renovating establishment on Pierce street, was fined $10 and costs irt court this morning. He was ar- raigned before Justice A, H. Condell, was found guilty of breach of the Deace and was convicted of violating the automobile laws, two charges having been preferred against him. Through his counsel, Attorney P. F. McDonough of New Britain, the ac- cused took an appeal to the superior court. Lutes was arrested last evening by Officer Philip Marino on a warrant Grand Juror S. S. Gwillim, who appeared this morning in the role of prosecuter. The circumstances at- tending the case were out of the or- dinary and after the ruiing of the aecused declared ne would fight for his rights before a higher iribunal. Testimony showed that yesterday citernoon Lutes was driving his car At the corner of Pierce street Officer Marino was going over the crosswalk when the machine came upon him. The con- stable became confused and fearing an accident, Lutes brought his car to a stop, stalling his engine in his haste to halt the progress of the machine. Some words followed between the driver and the policeman, the ex- change terminating when the officer asked for Lute's license as an opera- tor. Instead of complying; the latter drove off, excusing himself for his action on the claim that he had no knowledge that the man was an officer. In court today he entered a plea of not, guilty. The circumstances were related by A. C. Barrows, the state’s first witness. He declared that he was with Officer Marino at the time. He saw the cap appruaching as the both men were on the crosswalk. He stepped back to the curb but the officer continued to the middle of the street, becoming confused and neces- sitating the stopping of the machine. He recalled hearing Lutes tell the policeman that he should have a nurse girl to lead him across the street and while there were #ther words pass between them, he could not rememb: them. ' He knew Marino asked for the license after he had explained to the autoist that he was talking to an cfiicer. Witness also-recalled that the officer had his coat open, exposing his badge. Similar testimony was given by Constable Marino. The peliceman said he did not see the car until it was close to him. He had heard the sound of an auto horn but he didn’t know where it came from. He was positive in the belief that he had ex- plained that he was a policeman be- fore he asked to seé the license. The accused, he said, snapped his fingers at him before he drove away. In his own behalf Lutes told the court that his car was moving at the rate of about four miles an hour when he saw the officer and Mr. Barrows. He sounded his horn and stopped his car when he saw that Marino was confused and apparently unable to get out of the way. He admtited hav. ing suggested the employment of the nurse girl. He didn't know that Marino was an officer and did not see and badge. Te had cranked his car and was starting when his licenss was demanded.

Corroborative evidence was given by Mrs. Lute, who was in the mathine with her husband when he had the argument. She declared that the offi- cer’'s coat was buttoned and that his badge could not be ‘seen. Attorney McDonough made a plea for the acquittal of his client. -He claimed that it was preposterous to charge a man with breach 'of the peace for the statement that Lutes made to the policeman. He intimated that it was a count used with: too much . frequency by the Plainville prosecutor and it was absurd to try 1o give d respectable citizen\a court record on so trivial an affair, His failure to exhibit a license was stmply the natural result of a meeting \of such a character. He had no kno edge that the man wae an officéer and saw no reason for showing the license. He had. exhibited it quickly in court and there was no reason ~why, he shouldn’t show. it at any time to the proper authorities. Justice Condell’ said he would ac- cept the word. of the witnésses that the accused didn’t know Marino was an officer and for that reason would dismiss the breach of the ' peace charge. He considered him guilty, however, of the other charge and said Lutes could thank the prosecutor for not putting two additional counts against him. Church Mecting Will Adjourn.
