\ DOSTS ARE GIVEN IN$£2.000 ACTION Jury Deliberates Two Howrs in Gase Agaiast Sk (Special to the Herald) Hartford, Nov. 1—After deliber- ating for over two hours, the jury Peached a decision in favor of the defoendant to recover costs in the $42,000 automobile accident case of Natalie Bordenaro, Joseph Burano, Josephine SBurano and Mary Attardi, against Rose Senk and her aon, Jo- seph in superior court this morning the case being tried before Judge Allyn L. Brown. The action was brought some time #go through Attorney E. J. Myers, for personal iajury: damages result- ing from an accident on September 29, 1927 on the Hartford-New Brit- &in road at which time, the plaintifts 88 guest passengers of the defend- ant were injured, when the defend- ant, Joseph Senk, in an effort to avold'a head.on ocollision between his car and a car appearing sudden. ly from behind a truck, turned sharply and landed on the front lawn of the property of Gillett's Cor- per, the car turning over to one ‘de. The car in which the plaintifts ‘were passengers was the last of a procession of several cars returning from a wedding trip from Hartford election day. World Honeymoon to New Britain, and far behind the | Test of the wedding party. Among the several witnesses heard during the trial yesterday, the driver of the truck which was pro- ceeding from New Britain to Hart- gord, and which figured in the aci- cident, testified that he saw the 8enk car approaching from the opposite direction, keeping to the right of the road. As the car's neared each other, a red machine suddenly popped from behind the truck, and 8enk, to avold a head-on collision turned to the right, then to the left, grazing the truck, then turned sharply to the right again to avold running into a pole, finally landing in a heap on the lawn of the Gillette corner property. Two young boys, who were pas- #engers in the red car, corroborated the testimony of the driver of the truck, while on the other hand oc- cupants of the Senk car testified that Joseph 8urano attempted to persuade young Senk to slow down as they were afraid something might happen, if he continued at the rate of speed he had kept up for the past mile or so. The testimony of the defendant did not sum up and agree with the statement he made to the commis- sioner of motor vehicles, in which he stated that he passed a car about 50 yards before the accident happened, whereas on the stand he claimed that for at least three-quarters of a aile there was no car in sight. Officer Strolls and Sergeant El- linger, who investigated the acci- dent, testified that there were marks on the road of brakes being applied by Benk for a distance of approxi- mately 166 feet. This, counsel for the plaintiffs claimed was sufficient proof that Senk travelled at the al- leged rate of 55 miles per hour, not 35_as he claimed, and after passing the car 50 yards from the place of accident, saw the red car coming from the opposite direction and was unable to bring the car to a sudden stop because of the reckless rate of speed he was travelling at. Benk testified that no one in the party attempted at anytime to warn him about the rate of speed he was keeping, and seeing a clear road be- fore him, continued until the sudden appearance of the red touring car from behind . the truck forced him off his travelled course.
