TWOIN ACCIDENT, ONE SLAPS OTHER Police Then Interfere—Other Week-End Hlshaps Reported Several week-end accidents on the streets of New Britain were reported to the police, and in four instances arrests were made. Curiously enough accident, charge of violation of the motor ve- | hicle laws, but for assault ‘William Stockman, aged 52, of 65 Fourth street, was driving a horse on Newington avenue in an easter- ly direction Saturday afternoon and as he turned toward Market street, an automobile operated by Peter Bettini of 20 Acorn street in a west- erly direction, struck the team, breaking the shafts of the wagon, and damaging the harness. Officer Peter Cabelus, who was detailed to investizate, 1rrri!f~l Stockmap on the charge of brea of the peace and assaulting Bettini, | the latter claiming that Stockman slapped him in the face after blam- ing him for the accident. R. J.| Pershken of 161 Newington avenue witnessed the accident and told Offi- cer Cabelus that Stockman jumped off the seat of the wagon and struck Bettini. According to Stockman, he lost his temper because he felt Bet- tini had deliberately driven into h team instead of respecting his sig- nal that he was about to turn into, Market street. Attorney Lawrence J. Golon, rep- resenting Stockman, entered a plea | of not guilty in police court today and had the case continued until Thursday. The charge ot driving an auto- mobile without a license was nolled in the case of Raymond Higgins, aged 19, of 6 New Park avenue, Hartford. Higgins was driving a de- lvery truck south on Elm street on Saturday afternoon when it collided with a car driven by Fred Falmiere of 625 East street, east on Commer- | clal street. The damage to the cars was slight. Officer Peter Cabelus made the arrest. Drives Without License Armand Allen, aged 20, of 16 Park Terrace, Hartford, charged with driving an automobile without a license and a registration, had his case continued until tomorrow in $50 bonds. He was driving a car east on West Main street and fig- ured in a slight accident with a car driven by Charles Goodrich of 3 Raymond street about 7:30 last night, near Burritt street. Officer Dombrauskas arrested Allen, who told Lientenant Bamforth he had left his license and registration at | home. The lieutenant learned from the state motor vehicle department that the car was registered in the name of Joseph Allen of 229 Main street, Hartford, brother of the driv- er. Armand then claimed to have a bill of sale from a Hartford automo- bile dealer to prove he owned the car, but he could not recall the dealer's name. He admitted, when pressed, that he had no Connecticut operator’s license but was a licensed driver in Massachusetts. Evades Responsibility, Fined $50 Alex Clup, aged 41, of New Mil- ford, was fined $50 and costs on the charge of evading responsibility after an accident. He pleaded not guitly and had no reasonable excuse to offer for driving away after his car struck a car driven by Percy Glasle of 38 Everett street about 10:30 o'clock last night. Motoreycle Officer Thomas Blan- chette testified that he was at Cor- bin avenue and West Main street when Clup drove up to a gasoline station and inquired the way to Bristol. He was told and drove away, only to strike Glasle's car, sripping off the hub cap and damaging the left rear fender, besides damaging the bumper on his own car. Officer | Blanchette heard the crash but did not see the collision. He gave chase and overtook Clup about a mile and | a half west of the scene of the ac- cident, Supernumerary Officer John No- lan reported that a coupe owned and | driven by Leonard R. xon of 140 Maple street and a sedan owned and driven by Joseph Olbins of North- ampton, Mass, collided at Clark and North streets Saturday after- noon at 2:35 o'clock. Nixon was driving west in North street and Ol- bins was going north on Clark street when the collision occurred Both machines were slightly damaged. Officer David Doty reported a col- lision between a sedan owned and driven by Frank Simicki of India Orchard, Mass., and a touring car owned and driven by Charles Snctro of 22 Short street, about 5 o'clock last evening. The cars were in a lina of traf west on Allen «treet and near Stanley street, Sim- icki brought his car to a stop so quickly that Snetro did not have chance to avoid a collision. A hrac- ket on the rear bumper of Simicki car was damaged.
