There have been cases in which the accused party sold a car and neg- lected to turn in the markers but none, so far as is known, growing | out of a gift. Motoreycle Officer ard David had.been tagged and who had not reported at police headquarters, his mission being to collect the §2 pen- alty for violation of the parking or- dinances. Cianci disclaimed owner- ship of a car which had been stand- ing on Lake Court and said he had given it to his nephew, John Cianci, in August. The gift included mari- ers and certificate of registration, he gaid. Officer Doty investigated his story and verified it, with the result that notice to appear in court was merved last evening by Sergeant P. J. O'Mara. Cianci testified that the car had a weak rear end and his nephew, who was home from college for the summer vacation, asked him for it. He gave it to him, but it was driven only a few times before the rear end became useless and his nephew had it jacked up on two kegs in front of his home on Lake Court. Judge Saxe asked Officer Doty about the condition of the car and the offi- cer replied that he did not believe it had been operated recently as the tires were flat. It was taken off the gtreet and put in Cianci's yard a short time ago, he added. Judge Saxe suspended judgment, remarking that the case was differ- ent than the ordinary prosecution under the statute, and in view of all | the circumstances he felt Cianci was entitled to leniency.
