HANDKERCHIEE MAN FOUND NOT GUILTY Declares He Did Not Intend to Rnnoy Girls Found not guilty, William M. Maxwell, aged 31, of Middletown, who, it was alleged, annoyed two young women on Bassett street late at night on November was dis- charged by Judge B. W. Alling in police court this morning. He was charged with breach of the peace and Officer Otis Hopkins testified to making the arrest after a chase through a back yard. He sald Max- well had a white handkerchief in his hand, and the young men testi- fied that he was wearing It over his eyves when he called to them. The officer fired a shot but Maxwell did not stop until he fell down. Maxwell denied that he had the handkerchief over his.eyes. He was wearing a light hat, he said. and when he was obliged to enter @ yard at once because of a condition re- sulting from an operation four years ago, he realized that the street light shining on his hat made him conspicuous. He moved back farth- er from the street and the young women passed and saw him. They ran and he sensed that a policeman or someone else would be around shortly, so he ran. The po- Ticeman fired a shot and it increas- Maxwell's fright. In reply to Alling, Maxwell said he real- fzes now that it would have been advisable for him to stand hr ground and explain the circtim- stances to the’officer. “I did mot hold my hcad,” he said. “T know T should not have run, but a crowd was gathering and T was embar- rassed Explaining the gle of the case, Max when the officer was -hasing him, and hurt his finger. He was using the handkerchicf on his finger. Te said the young women must have thought his light hat was'a hand- kerehlet. Judge Mangan claimed a dis- charge on the ground that a breach of the peace had not been commit- ted. He admitted Maxwell used poor judgment in running but he pointed out that many innocent men have run in time of trouble sim- ply because they did not re what they were doing anxiety to leave the scen ing drawn into a police case, With- out crificizing the young womer. Judge Mangan said, It is natural for them to be timid when walking the streets on their way home, late at night, unescorted. The rustle of leaves or any similar noise will frighten them. The circumstances of the case are not in Maxwell's favor, 1t was true, Judge ngan said, but the mere fact that a per- son is found in another's yard does ot prove m breach of the peace nor the fact that Maxwell ran it. Tt is incumbent upon the to prove the charge and in o it not done so. ant Prosecuting ein, Maxwell said r with the streets and he parked his hilly side street handkerchief an- cll said he fell in before be- prove state f New Britain, automobile on a PHILHPS' Milk f Magnesia SAY “PHILLIPS” to your druggist, or you may not get genuine Phillips Milk of Magnesia prescribed by physicians for 50 years.

He has never been in any trouble and he feared the con- sequences of being found in a yard at that hour of night, with two | young women aceusing him. The physical /ailment whizh caused him to go into the yard resulted from an unsuccessful attempt by surgeons to remove a bullet from his body after he was shot in Toxas four Years ago. He did not offer any explan- ation to Officer Hopkins because he was badly frightened. PURSE OF §1,030 GIVEN FR. CLABBY | Parishioners of St. Mary's Bid Farewell to Priest Rev. Raymond J.

Judge Alling said,” after hearing the testimony, that there was no question that both drivers were at | fault and were driving faster than they admitted. There is ample space | on this particular highway for two automoblles to pass in safety if the drivers exercise reasonable care. On request of Attorney S. Gerard Casale, representing White, Judge Alling fixed bonds for an appeal at $200. An appeal was taken. White and Frank Hickey of Hart- ford were driving Celia Luty of 355 Burritt street and Helen Perkasky of 172 Glen street to their homes. They had spent the evening at a Hickey and Miss Luty were in the back seat and Miss Perkasky was riding in the front seat with White. his companion. White said he was conversing with his companion and had both hands on the wheel. White said he was driving about 30 miles an hour. Relative to testi- mony that one of the young women ! told the police White was driving 40 miles an hour, White said she must | have erred in her judgment. Murphy, who had borrowed an automobile Saturday afternoon, spent the evening with a local young woman and was returning to Hart- ford alone about 1:30 a. m.

Murphy admitted having had a few drinks but he was not intoxicated, the ser- geant said. After a long hearing Prosecuting Attorney W. M. Green- stein claimed a conviction less. “It is a case of a couple of road hogs refusing to yield to each other,” he said. “The testimony shows t they allowed about one foot to pass. It is a case of daring each other to hit each other and that is not the way to drive. Both are guilty of recklessness.” Attorney Moylan of Hartford claimed a discharge for Murphy. Attorney Casale, representing White, said he has no interest in having Murphy convicted, neverthe- less White was not reckless.
