He noticed the large touring car, driven by Reed, coming along in a zig-zag course and in an instant his car was struck and completely turned around. The big machine, which is a 1911 Ca- dillac, did not stop until it had gone 100 yards after striking him. Reed was Criving at a high rate of speed and this accounted for his inability to stop sooner, said the witness.

FRAUENLOB SUNK German Protected Cruiser Sent to Bot- tom By Entente Submarine is Re- port From Petrograd. London, Nov. 26, 12:46 p. m.—The German protected cruiser Frauenlob has been sunk by a submarine of the entente allies, according to a semi-offi- cial announcement made at Petrograd, says a despatch to the Central News Agency. The Frauenlob is reported to have been sent to the bottom in the same locality where the German protected cruiser Udine, as sister ship of the | Frauenlob was lost. The Frauenlob was a protected | cruiser of 2,672 tons and was built in 1901. A despatch published in the Politiken of Copenhagen on Nov. 11, said a report had been received that the Frauenlob had been sunk off the south coast of Sweden. Her ter ship, the Undine was sunk, ac- cording to an official announcement | made in Berlin, by two torpedoes from a submarine on the afternoon ! of Nov. 7 while patroling the south | Swedish coast. Nearly the entire | crew was saved. | The Frauenlob and ried crews of 275 men. { were 328 feet long, 40.3 beam and | had a depth of 15.8 feet. They were | armed with ten 4.1 inch guns and | were equippéd with two 18-inch to pedo tubes.

The fight prevented the strike breakers reaching the Kundtz plant. hired to take them to Meriden. When asked by the prosecutor the witness denied vehemently that he had been drinking. He admitted stopping at Muzzi & White's cafe, but said he had nothing to drink there. While in Meriden the party stopped at several saloons, but he stayed in his machine. Coming down Flannery’s Hill, he saw the Ford business car approach- ing him, but as it was over to thsz right of the road, he had plenty of room to pass it. As he reached the Lincoln cemetery, the Ford swerved from its course and struck the side of his car. He stopped and assisted Schor to move the latter’s machine off the car tracks. He claimed the fault if any lay with Schor. Testimony Conflicts. Anthony Schultz, a cafe owner of 220 East Main street, New Britain, John Fusari and Louis Marsh, both of the Hardware City corroborated Reed's testomony. The witnesses were very voluble in their testimony and Prosecutor Gibney -continually warned them to answer his questions directly. There were several tilts between the Prosecutor and Lawyer O'Keefe over the admission of evi- dence. The testimony of these wit- nesses conflicted in several parts. Schultz said he had known Reed for two months after the latter had said he never saw his customers before. Constable Willlam Ritchie, who made the arrest. testified he found the accused in Muzzi & White’s saloon shortly after. the accident and both the prisoner and Marsh acted as though theyv were intoxicated. He summoned Reed to appear in court after taking his license number. “Bunch of Drunken Joy Riders.” In summing up., Prosecutor Gibney characterized Reed and his com- panions as a “bunch of drunken joy- riders” and intimated the witnesses had committed perjury. Their evi- dence conflicted upon several import- ant points he said and he felt an ex- ample should be made of Reed for ating the statutes. Attorney O’Keefe asked for a discharge on the grounds the state had not proved that Reed was at fault for the collision. | Judge Griswold found the accused guilty of both charges and assessed a fine of $50 and costs for reckless driving and $100 and costs for driv- ing a machine while under the in- | fluence of intoxicating liquors, At- | torney O'Keefe took an appeal and »onds were placed at $200.
