Mangan, represent- |cut car with a set bonds | to: ing Johneon, Judge Saxe at $100 for an appeal. | The case was the outgrowth of an |aged accident on Newington avenue on | August 12, about 9:30 in the eve- ning. Johnson was driving in a west- erly direction and Charles Sharpe Jr., of 429 Stanley street, accomyp fed by Miss Fichot of Hartford, was | driving in the opposite direction, | when Johnson’s car swerved across | the highway and struck Sharpe'’s | car. The defense was that Johnson's car was struck in the rear by a car driven by Frank Grabowski of New- | ington and the impact threw it across the street and caused it to strike Sharpe's car, but Sharpe and Miss Fichot testified that the col- lision between Johnson's car and Grabowski's car did not occur until | after the crash between Johnson's and Sharpe’s cars. Judge Mangan argued that the testimony showed that two cars had passed Johnson's car and Grabow- skl was apparently trying to do like- | wise but was prevented from so do- ing because of the approach of Sharpe’s car. Grabowski tried to pull back into position but was un- able to do &0 without striking the rear of Johnson's car. Under these circumstances, Judge Mangan said’ Johnson could not reasonably be held gullty of reckless driving. Re- ferring to the admission by one of Johnson's witnesses that the witness | had been drinking, Judge Mangan | said that fact did not exclude him | and he had given a good account of | the accident. The prosecuting attor- ney did not consider the reckless driving charge very strong, Judge | Mangan said, as evidenced by the long recess to discuss the details with the state’s witnesses and the | subsequent addition of the charge | of violation of the rules of the road. | Mr. Woods replied that he had thc] right to prefer as many charges as | he considered necessary to protect | the interests of the state of Connec- FAVEa us an worriesan for life!

Its numbers of 10 years ago tell all about the A. E.
