Berlin News UT[] COLLISION ~ AIRED IN GOURT Tank Ghlodo Is Found Gmlty ‘ of Reckless Driving GASE IS APPEALED JAnnual Re-union of the Decendants # of Leonard Belden Held at Home ¥ of Postmaster Goodrich—Question F Answered for Local Boys, , Charged with reckless driving on jthe night of July 17, at which time 'his machine and another ' driving ‘from Meriden met in collision the Beach Swamp road, Frank iodo, giving his address as 127 \Arch street, New Britain, was ar- raigned in the court this mornng be- fore Judge Griswold. He was fined $26 and costs, the fine ‘being remitted. Later an appeal an appeal was taken under bonds of $50, ithe case to be tried in the superior iminal court, the third Tuesday in ptember. Today's session was a continuance of the court that was held a week pgo, at which time, Frank Hakim of Meriden, also accused of reckless driving, was found not guilty. Be- cause of the -fact that none of Chi- odo’s witnesses appeared at the time, his case was continued until today. ®lakim and the members of the Meri- den party appeared as witnesses against prisoner. M. D. Saxe of New Britain represented Chiodo and C. J. Danaher of Meriden was present for Hakim, who mdy bring suit for dam- Bges. Testimony offered was confusing as mwell as amusing and as several of thpse who gave testimony were of géTeign extraction, today’s court ses- sion was the longest held in some time. Hakim especially showed a great desire to talk but waxed indig- nant when he was asked to repeat how the accident happened, saying, #I told you last time how it oc- rurred.” He was threatened with cgutempt of court for not answering the questions asked and giving back talk to the authorities afterwards be- poming more quiet, His testimony was practically the pame as that which he offered last week. He said: He was driving from Meriden to New Britain when another car struck his and turned it over. He could not tell how fast the other car A going but that it was “hitting it Il{l pretty well. At the time he was Ariving on the right side of the road, two of the wheels being in the dirt pnd the other two on the macadam. ccompanying -him were his wife, ;rlnk Hyde and’ his sister and ‘“the Jeid.” yupted by Prosecuting Attorney Gib- ney who asked Him if he did not ean child instead of kid, stating that d is a small goat. Hakim, continuing, said that gt the Bme of the accident he was hukging the telephone poles, being within two feet of them, and that he was not run- ning at a speed to excel 15 or 20 miles an hour. The night was dark and stormy and a thunder storm was coming up. Questioned by Lawyer M. D. Saxe as to how he determined the speed of the car without a speed- ometer, he replied that he only guessed at it. Asked why he did not use the two feet at the side of the road for turning out purposes so that he could avold the collision he said that he did not have to. He was ex- cused and other members of the par- ty took the stand. With the excep- tion of a few details they corroborated the statements of their predecessor, Mrs. Hakim effering testimony to the effect that Frank was not going over 16 or 20 miles an hour as she ob- jects to fast riding. “Did you con- sider it safe to ride at the acknowl- edged speed that evening under the prevailing weather conditions?” asked Prosecutor Gibney, to which she re- plied in the affirmative. Mrs. J. Kranowitz of New Britain, who was an eccupant of Chiodo’s car at the time of the accident, was the first to appear for the accused. She sald that Chiodo was driving slow as he always does, that he was on the right side of the road and that when she saw the other car, which was in the middle of the road, approaching, she called his attention to the fact. He turned to the right as far as he could to avoid the accident but to no avail. It was also alleged that Hakim did not have his dimmers on and that on his car a bright light was in evi- dence, showing that he was going at a high rate of speed. Asked how she judged the rate of speed which Chio- do was traveling, she replied that they had a speedometer on the car and shortly before the accident happened turned a flashlight on it to see how fast they were going. At the time, according to testimony, the car was making 15 miles an hour. John Kranowtz, Frank Chiodo and Angelo Giglardi, the three other mem- bers of the car at the time, were called upon to testify, their statements coin- ciding in every detail. For this reason Prosecutor Gibney asked them if they had talked the matter over between At this juncture he was inter- | themselves. They admitted that/they had. “That is how you all arrived at the same conclusion,” commented the attorney. In summing up Prosecutor Gibngy stated he considered 15 to 17 miles ah hour reckless driving and he thought that the state should find the accused guilty, Lawyer M. D. Saxe pleaded that his client be discharged as there was no c¢ase against him. As evidence he asked how it was that Hakim’s car, after coliding with Chiodo’s car, con- tinued for quite a distance up the road in which it was originally head- ed before it turned turtle, unless the man at the wheel was speeding, while Chiodo’s car retained practically the same position as when the accident occurred. He also stated that Hakim was incapable of handling a car prop- erly. Annual Reunion Held. As has been the custom for a num- ber of years, the descendants of Leon- ard Belden chose a day each year on which to hold their annual re- union. Yesterday was the time de- cided upon the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. B Goodrich the place. By noon three generations were represented. A basket lunch was served on the lawn after which officers for the ensuing | year were elected. i People were there from several cities in this state and from as far as Oleveland, Ohio. Those in at- tendance were: Mr. and Mrs. George Codair, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gilbert and Mr. Fred Belden of Rocky Hill. Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Hubbard, Mrs. Abbje Hubbard of Durham, Frank Clark, Dwight Clark and Miss Maud Clark of Glastonbury, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Deming, Mr. and Mrs. Lester Deming, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dem- ing, John, Elizabeth and Edith Dem- ing, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Goodrich, Bertha Goodrich and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Deming of Berlin, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Crowell of New Britain and Mrs. Lillian E. Smith of Cleve- land, Ohio. To Be Conscripted ? There is a question in the minds of several of the boys of the town, who have enlisted in the naval reserves and are still at their homes awaiting the call, whether if they are not noti- fled before they have to appear before the local exemption board they will be identified as members of the naval reserves or considered as part of Uncle Sam'’s first draft army. For the benefit of those young men who have to contend with the aforementioned dilemma it has been authoritively stated that they will'not be con- scripted. - Thy will have to appear for examination and can file .the claim that they are in the service and awaiting their call. No enlisted man will be drafted. Brief Items. Miss Alma Kramer Mass., Berlin. Gas pipes which were broken at ‘the time the bridge over Hart's pond caved in have been repaired.

' The agreement provides that direct repatriation shall be resumed, that the qualifications on mediate grounds for repatriation or internment in neutral countries be made more lenient, and sick and wounded now interned in Switzerland shall be returned to their own countries to make room for others. In addition to those sent to Swit- zerland, Holland has agreed to accept 7)500 prisoners, while all commis- sioned and non-commissioned officers who have been in captivity for 18 months or more shall be eligible for internment in neutral countries. Hol. land has agreed to accept 6,500 of these. The Dutch government will further provide for 2,000 civilian prisoners, invalids being given the preference. Punishments for attempts to escape and for other offenses have been regu- lated, while reprisals against individu- luh have been cancelled. Plainville News ROCKWELL - DRAKE EXPEGTED TO LEAVE Reported in Semi-Oficial Quar- ters That Business Will Be Moved Local Branch of Marlin Company Said to Be Arranging to Locate in Philadelphia — Officials Give No Definite Information—Other Items. ‘While definite information regard- ing the plans of the Marlin company with respect to the future of the Rockwell-Drake corporation, its Plainville branch, cannot be obtained from official sources, it is understood | in local manufacturing circles that the town will lose the factory before many months, the combine moving the entire business to _Philadelphia | where its largest branch is at present | located. Officers of” the concern are rather reticent when approached regarding the plans now being formulated but it is belleved that the original idea of having the main plant in Plain- ville has been given up and ‘there is a strong likelihood that the business done by the Rockwell-Drake people will be transferred from the town. When the Marlin company ab- sorbed the local corporation and the Standard Roller Bearing company of Philadelphia some months ago, offi- cers seemingly were favorable to the | suggestion that the ten acres of land purchased 'by A, F. Rockwell for manufacturing purposes be used as a site for the main plant. Local peo- ple had visions of huge factory build- ings housing thousands of employes in the eastern section of the town and Plainville’s prospects for a sub- stantial and permanent growth took on a roseate hue. Since that time, however, it is said the men at the head of the combine changed their decision and have prac- tically decided against Plainville, pre- ferring Philadelphia for their head- quarters. Plans for the erection of new buildings which would more than double the floor space'now used by the local branch were ordered pigeon- holed and it is now reported that they have been entirely abandoned. The company is doing a rushing business in its present quarters.and continties to seek help. Neverthe- less the belief is held that the plant is eventually to be moved from the town. How long before the change will be made is uncertain but it is not likely that the business will be transferred for several months. ‘While the loss of the Rochwell- Drake factory wil prove a disap- pointment to local people, who will also of course view with considerable regret the failure of the Marlin peo- ple’s original plans to develop satis- factorily to Plainville, the town will undoubtedly benefit greatly by Mr. Rockwell’'s purchase of the Woodford property and the erection of a factory building on it. The plant is ideally situated for manufacturing purposes and when the Rockwell-Drake busi- ness makes its departure some other concern will without question move into the plant. In fact it is under- stood in manufacturing circles that partial arrangements have already | been made for the leasing of the building to a Hartford concern which will engage in the manufacture of ball bearings and similar products. Men connected with the corpora- tion have made no definite statements as to their plans in this direction but the reports have been persistently circulated in reliable quarters for a number of weeks and are given gen- eraj credence. Veterans Re-elect May, Albert A. May was re-elected pres- ident of the Veterans association while Chloe A. Warren was chosen to continue at the head of the auxil- | iary at the business meeting held at the camp grounds yesterday in con- | nection with the annual observance ,of G. A, R. day. Both leaders have given excellent service and they well merited re-election. G. A. R. day was a splendid success. It was an enjovable treat for the veterans who came here from =ll over the state to participate in the program: and they had many happy moments in exchanging reminiscences with' 0’d comradés who they had not seen since the re-union of a year ago. Mcthodist Sessions Begin. With a large attendance of enthu- siasts present, the fifty-second annual | session of the Plainville camp meet- | ing opened last evening at the camp grounds. Rev. E. A, Dent, D. D. of New Haven, superintendent of the | district, and the leader of the meet- ings opened the program with a bril- liant address on the timely subject, “What This War Is About.” Last evening, today and tomorrow will be given up largely to the Ep- worth league institute. Among the topics to be discussed during the next two days will be, The Church, Lead- ership, Temperance, Sunday, World Evangelism, Home Missions, Stew- ardship and Patriotism. A number of prominent divines, who have aw | cepted invitations to give addresses, arrived at the grounds this morning. The camp meeting proper will open Sunday morning, all the serv- | ices on that day to be in charge of | the Rhines brothers, singing evangel- ists. The weather this year has been ex- ceptionally favorable to the meetings thus far held on the grounds and the | Methodists are hopeful that it will continue while their sessions are in progress.

Work is in prosress on other build- ings and plans have been prepared to have at least twelve. houses on the tract by the end of the year. The company was organized prin- cipally to erect buildings to house employes of the Trumbull Electric company, with which the incorpora- tors are cobnected, but if the demand for homes from other sources is suf- ficiently large the concern propose3 to extend its building operations. The making of connections for supplying the colony with water will be completed during the first part of next week. The company also has made plans for the building of sewer beds. “Dynamite” Jones and a force of men are now engaged in blasting to drain the swampy land that it ‘will be suitable for sewage purposes. The course of the Quinnipiac river is to be slightly changed where it passes through the property to insure against the flooding of the beds in the Spring. Tocal Doctors to Serve. Plainville’s four physicians have received invitations from Dr. T. G. O’Connell of the exemption board of the second division, to assist in the physical examination of the young men who are to be ordered to report for service in the new army. They have signified a wish to show their willingness to do ‘‘their bit” by of- fering their services.
