The youngster, after looking over his brother's automobile, decided to take a short spin and sliding into the driver's seat managed to get the car moving hefore members of the family realized, his intention. Turn- ing info West street he pressed his foot down heavily on the accelerator and by the time had gone a short distance he was traveling at a high rate of speed. In the course of his journey along West street, he man- aged to sideswipe three cars and nar- rowly missed as many more. John Dudenski, driving in the opposite a%- rection, had a narrow escape from 1heing turned over and a few seconds later a car driven by Omer Legar of 68 Clay street, Waterbury, was side- swiped. The next autoist to be |crowded to the erub was Super- numerary Patrolman Joseph Ryan, who shortly after overhauled the boy and asked him “How come.” The knowledge that Ryan was a police- {man failed to intimidate the youth |and he nonchalantly explained that {he was operating the car with his 1big brother's permission. When his father and brother appeared at po- lice headquarters, where the young- ster was taken by Ryan he again |sfated In the presence of the senior |members of the family that he had his brother’s permission. However, when brought before Prosecuting Attorney James T. Mather this morning, the boy ad- mitted that he “borrowed” the car unknown to other members of the family because for some reason he could not resist the impulse to try his hand at the wheel. The driters of the cars, which had been side- swiped were present and to enable $ |them to ascertain the amount of camage done, the case was continued until May 31. The parents of the boy agreed to assume the eost of making whatever repairs are found necessary. Joint Meeting A foint meeting of G. A. Hadsell Camp, U. 8. W.
