Deeley Ex-Congressman Augustine Loner- gan of Hartford appeared before the \bar in the local police court this i { morning defending William F. Deeley, ! | | a former jitney driver, charged with reckless driving on Stanley street. He secured an acquittal for his client and in announcing his decision Judge James T. Meskill remarked that the j case was one for the civil rather than the criminal court. It was charged that on August 18 while John E. Cur- tin was driving out of the new Cath- olic cemetery Deeley came along in his jitney at a high rate of speed and collided with him. Deeley laid the blame on Curtin and said that the undertaker ran into him . Curtin Blames Deeley. Mr. Curtin said that at about 3 o'clock on August 18 he was in the new Catholic cemetery on Stanley | street. Before driving into the street {he sounded his horn and looked each direction but saw no car proaching. As he drove onto highway he said he saw Deeley’'s car coming toward him at a fast rate of speed. He turned his car into tha ap- Deeley’s car crashed into him, dragg- ed his car fifteen feet along the roac and then proceeded about 60 yards before he came to a stop- Mr. tin said he measured the distance, 39 knows Deeley’s car went sixty yards before stopping. The damage to his car amounted to $63 said Mr. Curtin, who said there were five or six people in Deeley's Hartford-bound jitney. Lawyer Lonergan asked Mr- Curtin many many questions and inquired whether he heard Deeley blow his horn. He said he did not. Mr. Cur- imburse him for the damage to his car. Thomas Francis Markham, was with Mr. Curtin at the time the accident, said Mr. Curtin used great care, sounding his horn and { driving slowly, as he drove onto the highway from the cemetery. His testimony corroborated that of Mr. Curtin in every respect and he said Deeley's auto was going very fast at the time of the accident, while Cur- tin's car was barely moving as it came up the slight grade out of the cemetery. Does Not Report Accldent- Captain Grace testified that at no time did Mr. Deeley report the ac- cident at police headquarters, but Mr. Curtin reported it immediately. The captain referred the case to the prosecuting attorney. Says Curtin Hit His Car. Including himself, Mr. Deeley had eight witne: all of whom were in the car. He said he has been oper- ating an auto jitney for about thr months . Regarding the collision, he said that at 2:45 o'clock when near St. Mary's cemetery he Wwas going at twelve or fifteen miles an hour- A high stone wall obstructed his view and he did not see Mr. Curtin until he rode in front of him at about eighteen or twenty miles an hour. He said he turned to the left and Mr. Curtin at first turned toward New Britain but turned abruptly in an northerly direction and crashed into his car. Deeley said the collision broke the rear door, the rim of a wheel, the running board, the mud guard and a tire iron. It will cost about $40 or $60 to have it repaired, he said- Be- cause he did not have enough money to repair the car Deeley says he has given up the jitney business and taken a job at the Underwood Type- writer concern, Judge Meskill askcd Deeley a number of questions. Witnesses Don’t Blame Deeley. John T. Hennessey, a passenger in Deeley’s jitney, said he did not know of the impending accident until ue felt the jar. He' did not think the Jitney was going faster than fifteen miles an hour and he would judge that the car coming out of the cem- etery struck the other car.”” John Jackus, another occupant, rated the who of {at no time in | the | gutter and had just stopped it when | tin also said he expects Deeley to re- | speed the same as Mr. Hennessey, but he did not see the accident. He did not hear Deeley blow his horn. Ed- ward Bennett, also in jitney. had his back to the cemetery and did not see the smash- He did not think Deeley was going more than fifteen miles an hour, Young Women Testify. Miss Helen Hayden said she did not see any car until Mr. Curtin’s car came out of the cemetery gate- way and ran into Deeley’s machine. She said Deeley was not driving fast and tried to avert the collision. Miss Hayden was sitting in the rear seat on the right side and it was on her side that the car “struck Deeley’s jitney, throwing her to the other side of the seat. She did not hear either car blow a horn and said Mr. Cur- tin’s car was going as fast as was Deeley’s. Miss Edythe M. Bristol, a companion of Miss Hayden in the jit- ney, gave similar testimony. One other passenger in the jitney, William Zimitravich told his version of the affair, which was in favor of Mr. Deeley. Curtin Scoffs at Defense. Recalled to the stand. Mr. Curtin | scoffed at the idea he was going at ! and said that | fifteen miles an hour were the tires more than four road. *“I don’t think fellows know what they are talking about when they say their view of the cemetery is hidden by a stonewall, 1 know better and I don’t know where they get their dope,” sald Mr. Curtin. stant Prosecutor Woods asked prints of his feet onto the that Deeley be convicted on the charge | of reckless driving as he thought the state had proved its case. Lawyer Lonergan said the burden of caution is on the man coming from the side road onto the main road, although both drivers should use great care. ‘“The state has not i proved that Mr. Deeley was driving i V recklessly,” said Lawyer Lonergan and he laid the blame of the accident on Mr. Curtin for not exercising more caution, although he termed the acci- i dent an unfortunate but unavoidable one caused by one of the parties con- i cerned ‘taking a chance.” Deeley Is Discharged. Judge Meskill discharged Deeley and sald the case is one for the civil rather than the criminal court. Traflic Signs Criticised. Again today New Britain's method of warning visiting automobilists that it is.illegal to stop their cars for more than five minutes betwecen the National Bank corner and st. Mark’s church, came in for a spiri ed criticism by an out of town man. Alfred Hart of Waterbury was ar- rested by Officer Hart yesterday for leaving his automobile in the pro- hibited space for one hour and fifty minutes. Mr. Hart pleaded guilty but said he was entirely innocent of will- fully violating the city ordinance. He said he did not see the warning sign, perched high above the street on a pole, until after he had been ar- rested. He said the sign is not notice- able to a stranger anyway and p ticularly to him yesterday as he had the top of his car.up preventing him from seeing only straight ahead. Mr. Hart was also inclined to blame the officer on duty as he said, “The cop on duty could have just as well called my attention to the fact when I drew up there as he knew I was a stranger. ,Judge Meskill fined Hart $2 and costs. After disposing of the case Mr. Hart thought he was free and at- tempted to walk out before paying his fine. Officer Hart brought him back and he paid his $2. Another Traflio Violator. George Riley was also arrested by Officer Hart yesterday for a violation of the traffic ordinance. He pleaded not guilty to leaving his auto in the prohibited distance for eighteen min- utes. On request of Judge W. F. Mangan the case was continued until tomorrow.. Costs 82 to Save Nickel. Rather than pay a five cent trolley fare demanded bv the Connecticut company, Harry Gramachuk of Wa- terbury evaded payment. and was fined $2 without costs Gramachuk got on a New Britain car at Hartford and thought a Hartford transfer and five cents was sufficient to bring him to the Hardware Cfity. Conductor Clayton Brown, a special policeman, arrested him when he indignantly re- fused to pay his fare. Cruelty Casc Continued. Isreal Bailiss, a junk dealer, whose horse dropped dead on Arch street yesterday, pleaded not guilty to cruel- some of these | {1y to the animal. It 1is charged ! that by having to draw the over- loaded wagon the feeble horse was killed. He is also charged with whipping the beast. Bailiss is sald | to have explained the horses’ death by saying it fell down and choked to { death. M. D. Saxe is Bailiss’ lawyer and the case was continued until Satur- day when the lawyer will be back from his vacation. WOOSTER REUNION.

Thompson was elected presi- dent of the Navy league of the United States by the hoard of direc- tors here yesterday to succeed Gener- al Horace Porter, who declined re- election. General Porter has been president of the organization since 1905 and on his refusal to serve fur- ‘ther in that office he was named as honorary president. A number of plans for a continua- tion of the league's efforts to secure from congress legislation for a larger ravy were adopted by the directors although their nature was not dis- cloged. A report submitted by Arthur H. Dadmun, the secreta stated that the league's campaign to ouse sen- timent for an increased na had been ccnducted in twenty-one states with | marked results, The committee proposed a naval reserve of 50,000 men to be formed by the cnlistment of men honorably dis- chargcd from the navy and by sca- men of the merchant marine.
