DOLORES DEL RIO in “RAMONA" It’s One of the Year's Best Millions Have Read the Book A GOOD SHOW Bristol News CAUGHT AT WHEEL OF STOLEN AU Bristol Man Arrested by Eagle Eyed Police Officer DRUNKEN DRIVER AT {7 Boy Fined $135 For Being Intoxi- cated While Operating Car—Man- slaughter Charge Against Cham- beriain Nolled By Prosecutor. George D. Fiske, 20, of 72 Laurel street, this city was scheduled to face & charge of stealing an automo- bile in the Hartford police court to- day as a result of the vigilance of Officer John McLaughlin of the local department. Late Saturday night the local au- thorities were notified by the Hart- ford police that an automobile, bear- ing Connecticut, registration 108,569 and belonging to Albert Bliss of 133 Ardmore road. Hartford, had been atolen on State street in that city. The information was passed along to the police doing street duty and at 2 o'clock Sunday morning the car was found on Meadow street by Of- ficer McLaughlin. He remained in the vicinity and a short time later a man left a North Main street res- taurant and entered the car. The officer immediately entered the car with him and in response to his questions, Fiske informed him that he owned the car. The man was taken to the police station and Hart- ford authorities notified. Fiske was taken back to that city Sunday by Detective Sergeant John McSweegan of the Hartford police. Very little is known of Fiske in this city. He informed the police that he had been in Bristol about two months, coming here from Canada. During that time he had been employed in a local factory. Mansiaughter Charge Nolled Charges of manslaughter and reckless driving against Ira Cham- berlain of Cemetery road, Plymouth, were nolled this morning by Prose- cuting Attorney James T. Mather following a consultation h the de- fendant and his attorney, Anthony J. Rich. The charges against Chamberlain arose out of one of the most unusual accidents in the annals of the local police department. While driving toward Terryville on Saturday after- noon, November 17, Chamberlain, while passing an automobile opera ed by Edward Coombs of Middle- town, N. Y., at the top of Shovel Shop hill, sideswiped the car slightly. Both drivers stopped and secing that neither car had been damaged, they both proceeded on their way. Upon arrival at Plytmouth, how- ever, Mrs. Robcrt Squires of North street, Plymouth, who with her hus- band and two months’ old daughter, Cora Isabelle, were passengers in the Coombs car, noticed that the baby was dead. A doctor was called but all efforts to resuscitate the child failed and the police were notified. Chamberlain was arrcsted but later released on bonds. The case had been continued twice awaiting the finding of Coroner J. Gilbert Calhoun of Hartford, before whom Chamberlain appeared for questioning last Saturday. It was at first thought that the child's death was caused by its head striking an iron red supporting the top, but a subsequent investigation disclosed the fact that there was no injury of this nature. It was later thought that the child may have suffocated in its mother’s arms, as phe grasped it tightly at the time of the collision. The coroner's report has not been made public.

Jones, who was represented in court by Attorney Edward Quinlan, stated that he had been drinking during the evening and could mnot remember entering any of the park- ed cars.
