AS CAR HITS STORE Driver Who Smashed Window Blames ‘Timidity for Flight John Kopcewicz, aged 29, of 249 Byrritt strest,. whose automobile skidded on ‘the wet pavement and crashed into.a gluss. window in the stare of [Hglen: Niesiobedzski. 59 Broad streef, Thuraday evening, tes- tifled in palice ‘court this morning that the reason he drove away and did, not détermine the extent -of the damage immadiately was that he was excited and' frightened, out he had no intentjon: of ievading responsibil- ity. Judge “M. 'D. Saxc suspended Judgment saying' there’was no doubt that Koncewicz used very poor judg- nignt, but nebody was injured and, according to' the evidence presented, i did not appear that a deliberate dttempt had' been made to evade re- sponsibility. -« Lieutenant Bamforth ~ testified that he recelved -a telephone com- viaint Thursdey evening that an au- tortobile had smashed the window and the driyer had aot stopped. e cettiled Officers Malona and Liebler t;;'n\'esu‘ah and in the¢ meantime state motor vehicle department answered a request for ihe name and address of the' owner, according to the department Yecdrds. About 9 o'clock Korcéwicz came to the po- lice station, the’ lieutenant testified, and reported the accident, explain- ing that he was frightened and ex- cited and did not know what to do, but on the advice of friends he de- cided to make a report to the police. William Quigley of 227 Washing- ton street teatified ‘that he was in an automobile on Broad strect about 6:95 o'clock whén the accident hap- pelied, and-he:believed Koncewicz applied his brakes in such a manner as to causc the car to skid on the wet pavement. The witnees expect- ed, though, that the car would stop Lyt the driver merely backed out and drove away. Mr. Quigley took thie number of the car and reported the matter to the police. He said the window is 106x72 . inches and cost $72. He said he belleved Koncewicz told the truth when he said he was extited and. frightened. sAfter other witnesses were heard, Koncewicz told’ his story. He had Dbeen in Farmington helping a friend to wash a car and as he turned into Broad street from Washington street tiie wheels slid along the trolley tricks and béfore he realized it, ihe car was headed for the sldewalk and he could not stop it. A great crowd gathdred and there was con- siderable ‘eX¢itoment but as he ob- served that; many of those present were strangers, ‘he drove off and nut his car in the garage intending 1?return later. Thinking the affair over, he decided to make settle- ment for the damage at once, which he did, and on advice of Matthew Papciak, he went to the police sta- tion. At no time did he have the slightest intention of evading re- sponsibility. Attorney Lawrence J. Golon, rep- resenting Koncewicz, pointed out that the affair was a case of poor judgment rather than an intent to evade responsibility and he asked Judge Saxe to bear in mind that conviction on the charge would re- sult in the suspension of the man's license for a year. Eddie Fortier, aged 26, of 70 Cherry street, was arrestgd ecarly this morning on Ellis street by Ser- | geaht Thomas J. Feeney and Of- ficer James M. McCue on the charge | of operating an automobile while | under the influence of liquor. It is said the attention of the sergeant was attracted by the unsteady man- ner in which Fertier was driving near Stanley street. A small amount of alleged wine was in the car. On request of Attorney Harry M. Gins- burg. the case was continued until next Tuesday morning. Reckless Driver Fined | John H. Whitfleld, aged 24, of| 44 Garden s.reet, Hartford, pleaded | nolo contendere to the charge of | reckless driving and guilty to the| charge of operating an automobile | without a license. On recommenda- | tion of Prosecuting Attorney Woods. a fine of $50 and costs was imposed on the first count and $10 and costs on the second count. Attorney Vic- tor De Nezzo appeared for White- fleld. Sergeant M. J. Flynn testificd that he investigated an accident on West Hartford road shortly before 10 p. | m. Thursday and learned that Whit- field was driving towards New Brit- ain and tried to pass another car when he became bottled in. He ap. plie¢ his brakes to avoid striking the cor he was trylng to pass and the car that was coming In the oppo- site direction. In all, four cars were involved. Two of them were al-| most destroyed. Whitfleld was cut about the .fac and neck. Attorney De Nezzo asked for len- iency, pointing out that Whitfield | will be put to great expense for re- pairs to damaged cars, and the fact | that the rain was falling heavily | contributed somewhat to the cause | of the collision.
