Commissioner Parker told him he did not believe his story that a motorist coming towards him caused | him to pull to the left and strike the parked cars. “If thei s an- other fellow coming up as you say, he must be dead by now,” the com- missioner remarked, and Commis- sioner Tomikowski told Santucei he did not know what he was thinking of to come before the board and contradict everyone else Rebuked by Bannan At one point during the hearing.

We've got everything fresh in mind. T know I'm all set afier hearing such testimony,” he said, visihly nettled. Commissioner Park- er was agrecable fo the suggestion and Chairman Bannan suggested that an exccutive session be held, | which was done. A few minutes | later the open meeting was resumed and the chairman announced the de- cision.
