DRUNKEN DRIVER ~ FINED Plainville News APPEALS SENTENCE FOR WIFE BEATING Redclille Claims Wile Started Trouble—Lawyers in Battle New Britain Youth In Crash—Con- stable Paul Resigns—Local We en to March In Parade—All Offi- cers On Duty Tonight.—Briefs, Denying his wile's charges that he struck her and knocked her down, Howard Radcliffe of Maple street, through his counsel. Attorney Cyril F. Gaffney of New Britain, this morning appealed from the jail sen- tence of 30 days imposed by Justice M. O. Ryder when Radcliffe was found guilty of assault and breach of the peace. He was released under bonds of $100. The stories of Radcliffe and his wife were as far apart as the poles. She claimed that on Monday about 1 o'clock she had attempted to go to a neighbor's house and that her hus- band had “smacked” her face, '] thrown her into a chair, grabbed her wrists, and seized her throat. She sald he blocked the door and win- dow when she tried to escape, but he finally allowed her to go to the home of Mrs. Hazel Cunningham, from where she called Constable George Schubert. Attorney Gaffney accused her of starting the trouble by “carrying on” with a neighbor. but Grand Juror Charles F. Conlon objected strenuously, saying this question was “inadmissible and im- materjal.” and, after a hot fight, Justice Ryder ruled it out. The prosecutor also objected to a ques- tion as to whether Mrs. Radcliffe were planning to get a divorce, say- ing today's case would be used as testimony, and again the prosecutor obtained the ruling out of the ques- tion. Constable Schubert testified that he received a telephone call and turned it over to Constable B. J. Wadsworth. Th latter eaid he had found Mrs. Radcliffe in a hysterical condition at the Cunninghams’ house and had arrested her husband. Mrs. Cunningham said she had been look- ing out of a window and had seen Radcliffe block his wife from the door and window. Radcliffe took the stand and sald that his wife became enraged and tried to hit him, but fell over a chair and bruised herself. She then tried to shout out the door and win- dow, he said, which was why he pulled her away. He denied, strik- ing her. Radcliffe also claimed that his wife had heen out four nights since she had him arrcsted last Tuesday, but she denied this, saying she had gone out but.once and then to visit her mother. The prisoner also sald he had gotten all except five meals since that time. Prosecutor Conlon, in summing up, called the alleged action “brutal and unjustifiable assault” and criti- cized Attorney Gaffney for making his “only defense a dirty insinuation against a woman's character.’ Tho defense attorney claimed he could have substantiated this evidence and closed his plea by saying that sym- pathy for a wifc and mother was natural but sometimes undeserved. Judge Rvder found Radcliffe guilty and tmposed sentence. Attor- ney Gaffney appealed, and, after slight delay, the $100 bond was fur- nished. Drunken Driver Fined Michael Norcunas, 19, of 227 North street, New Britain, was fined 8100 and costs of $14.51 by Justice Ryder this morning on a charge of driving while under the influence of liquor. Norcunas, operating a neighbor's car, ran into the rear of a parked auto in front of the Good- rich filling station on West Main sireet last night about 11 o'clock. Norcunas received a cut hand, while both cars were badly damaged, the { front of one being stove in and the rear of the parked machine demol- ished. The latter car was owned by John J. Barboza of 13 Tranklin street, New Britain Constable George Schubert, who made the ar- rest, had Norcunas examined by Dr. George F. Cook, who testified this <PLAINVILLE® TONIGHT—THURS.

Modesty and truthtulness are the {twe outstanding traits in the char- acter of Herbert Hoover, Frederick C. Walcott, republican candidate for United States senator, stated at a banquet of the republican town | committee in the Endee Inn last| {evening and his “greatest passion is to serve humanity. Mr. Walcott was the principal speaker of the evening. He gave a vivid description of the scenes in the Palo Alto Stadium when Hoover | delivered his acceptance speech and told of telegrams recelved by the candidate from Poland, Russia, Italy and France in which he was termed “'saviour” for his activities in the {famine stricken areas. He outlined |Hoover's work as food administra- tor following his appointment by President Wilson in 1917 and of the ‘negotiations completed by the re- publican candidate to insure the food supply of Great Britain, France and Belgium. Hoover's meeting in France with King Albert of Belgium was described by the speaker and how the monarch had told Hoover that he had saved seven million Bel- gians and over three millions of people in northern France by his distribution of food. Hoover, ac- cording to Walcott, declined all honors from the Belglum monarch except that he be considered a friend of Belgium and this title was conferred upon bim two years later by King Albert at the Hotel Wal- dort in New York city. Hoover's work at the time of the Mississippi flood was also lauded by Walcott, who ended his talk by the remark that it should be a pleasure for any man to vote for the repub- lican nominee.
