Assistant Prosecutor Woods publicly branded Samuel Kol- odney, aged proprietor of a Hart- ford avenue grocery stc a “mis- erable liar.” in police court this morning after the groceryman had taken the witness stand and charges of reckle: driving out of a collision on Hartford last Fri The pros was: “This ma.. is a miserabie liar. He went on the witness stand under oath and told bare-faced lies.” Judge Kirkham Interrupts. Judge John H. Kirkham had pre- viously interrupted the testimony of the accused to inquire as to whether the oath had been administered and to request Clerk of Court Emil J. Danbergz to make minute of the fact when informed that Kolodife was under oath. It was later explained that it is very essential that the court records show a minute of the fact that a witne. 5 is under oath if charges of perjury are to grow out of the case, While no further intimation that a serious charge would arise were made, the interruption of the judge, the fact that Kolodney was under oath and the charge of the prosecutor that the accused lied on the witness stand have been made a part of the permanent records of the case. He was fined $35 and costs and bonds placed at 0 in case of an appeal. Joseph G. arising venue utor's charg a Story of Affair. It was charged that Kolodney, op- erating a Vim motor car, northerly on Hartford avenue Friday, August 13, about 1 0 p. m. and by driving on the left hand side of the roadway forced A. Michlin, of this city, to steer out in the path of the North Stanley street trolley. By so dofng Michlin's car was damaged. Kolodney falled to bring his car to #® stop, it was charged. and when Michlin c’lled him on the telephone several days later in an attempt to cffect settlement for the damages he was despatched to the warm gions below, he told the court. Kolodney Gives His Side. The part of Kolodney's testimony that drew forth the vitriolic charge from the prosecutor followed a posi- tive identification of the accused by James Maxen. The alcused admitted that he was the only one who drives the truck in question; that he passed the scene of the alleged reckless driving twice on that day: that he was personally acquainted with the com- plaining witness and Mr. Maxen, but that he was in the store et the reckless driving. Barrctt’s Testimony. Fred Barrett, motorman on the North Stanley street. trolley, said he saw a car driving on the left side of the street Friday at 12:30 but could not identify the driver. To avoid an accident, his testimony was, Michlin drove from his proper po- sition on the right hand side of the street to the center of the trolley tracks and directly in the wake of the car. The impact resulted a broken fender on the auto SRy in Knew Driver Five Years, The driver of the damaged car was unable to positively identify the driver of the Kolodney car, he said, but corrohorated the testimony of the motorman =as to the incidents leading up to the crash. Maxen was absolutely certain that Samuel odney was the driver. He said he had known the accused for more than five years and several times did business with him. No Knowledge of Accident. In the of any defense, complete knowledge of the reckless driving was entered. Kolod- ney explained that his butcher goes to lunch at noon and he remains in the store, making it impossibie for him to have figured in the collision. In answer to questions he said he had driven the car over North Stan- ley street twice on the day in ques- tion. He also admitted that he i the only one connected with the store to drive the truck. a denial Woods Repeats Charge. When Lawyer Harry H. Milkowitz, who appeared for the accused, took exception to the statement that hi¥ client was a “miserable liar,” Prose- cutor Woods repeated the statement PROTEST HIGHER RATES Shippers Ask - That Freight Chargos Be Washington.
