" HEALON COLLISON COSTS DRIVER §12 Former Soldier Denies Being Drunk, Pleads for Leniency Pleading with Judge Stanley J. Traceskl not to “be hard” on him, but steadfastly jnsisting that he had not had a single drink of liquor yes- terday although two police officers testified that he was unfit to drive a car, Frank Naples, ¢6, who has been in the Soldiers’ ome at To- gas, Me., for four months, was found guilty in police court today on charges <[ driving without an oper- ator's license, driving while under the influence of liquor, and violation of the rules of the road. On the first charge, he was fined $10 and costs, on the second $100 and costs and on the third $15 and costs. Lieutenant 8amuel Bamforth tes- tified that Naples denied having had anything of an intoxicating nature to drink, but he was thick of speech and his eyes were glassy when Ser- geant Feeney presented him at the desk. There was an odor of some sort of alcoholic drink but the lieu- tenant could not recognize it. He said Naples was unfit to drive, Naples testified that he was gassed overseas and for ten years he has been unable to earn any' money. For four months he has been at the sol- diers’ home and after obtaining a 90 days’ furlough, he bought an automobile with borrowed money and some of his own, intending to “sell goods” and make a living in the summer months, He left Boston at 8 o'clock yes- terday morning and did not stop in any of the large cities along the route, his plan being to take out an operator's license in Connecticut. He wanted to visit his “Uncle Tony" and see if he would help h.m finan- cially so he might make a start in business. “I get dizzy when I am sick and 1 know I never should drive.

The chances of Leo Dixon with the Reds and Harvey Johnson with the Browns have nc' seemed so bright. Charlie Gooch, infielder, drafted by Washington from Little Rock has put up & hard fight for a utility as- signment and Jerry Standaert, for- merly of Memphis, and Bob Bar- rett, advanced from Buffalo, have had the same objective with the Boston Red Sox. Three prominent major league players, all in the National, found {fame after coming up by the avenue of the lowly draft. Hack Wilson, the slugging “hicago ~ b outfielder, was drafted in 1925 from Toledo after he had been released to the | Mud Hens by the New York Giants. |Arthur Whitney, third baseman of {the Phillies who made good with a |rush last year and batted in more {than 100 runs, was drafted from New Orleans in 1:°7.

McGrady, legislative | representative of the American Fed- | eration of Labor, and Alfred L. Hoffman, textile union organizer, who claimed they were taken trom their hotel by a party of about 29 |men early yesterday and “run out lof town.” The incident culminated |in the arrest of six Eiizabethton | {citizens. Each was held in $1,000 bail. In a formal statement issued at Washington, Mr. Green called on| |Governor Horton “to bring the| {criminals to justice” and to afford the labor officials protection while | in Elizabethton. He further declared | that *“if necessary” he would pay| Elizabethton a personal visit “as a challenge to this lawlessness.” An undercurrent of feeling that followed a recent strike affecting local rayon mills was believed re- APRIL 1929 Gift Shop Sketches APRIL BRIDES This week we are| ' dozen Ice Tea featuring a complate | variety of Glassware with ster- ling silver engravings, | % dozen Dinner Every item a beauti- ful gift—all picces ave | Pickle Fork of one design, “The |Cold Meat Richards” course NEW GODEYS Just new Godey Fashion Prints, Crystal | %2 dozen Butter | — and of very moder- | ately priced. | Spoons ..... $6.00 Spreaders .. $6.25 | |\ 3orin teresting prizes, etc. each and many other pieces in and silver table, look dis- / Come over our Q| Play. of | JEWELRY Very attractive Pen- dants, Rings, Bar Pins items are ICE BUCKETS UCKBLE land they are priced as follows: | tall and low Sherbets | in several colors.

Feeney, who was detailed by Lieutenant Samuel Bamforth to in- vestigate the collision which occur- red in front of the home of Attor- ney M. A. Sexton between Hart and .Moeroe streets, Naples was driving a car regis- tered in Maine and when Sergeant ¥eeney questioned him about the ®ccident, he accused Finklestein of driving at the rate of 60 miles an hour, while he had swung to the left to turn into an intersecting Street. As a matter of fact, the ser- geant said, the.e is no intersecting street near the scens of the crash. Naples was unsfeady on his feet and there was an odor of wine apparent, the sergeant testified, Tries to Protect Wife Finklestein testified that Jie saw the lights of Naples' car for a dis- tance of ahout 600 feet, but he ex. pected to be given room to pass. Much to his surprise the iights con- tinued in an unswerving path and he was powerless to avoid a head- on collision. Thinking first of his wife, he threw himself across the scat in front of her to protect her from injury, but she sustained pain- | ful cuts and bruises across the knees, while he was painfully hurt across the lower chest, where the steering Wwheel jammed against him. His car was badly damaged, as was the one Naples was driving, \ touch another wheel,” he said. “How about touching another drink?" Judge Traceski asked him. *I had nothing but two cups of coffee all day, and 1 was all in. ably why they say I was drunk, but I was not, so help me God.” “If I was drunk last night T would be sick this morning,” he continued. “That's the way it affects me, but I was not drunk. I have been in seven hospitals and I gm not a well man.” As Judge Traceski enumer- ;Mnd the fines on the three offenses, |Naples begged him for leniency. He had a cut on®the bridge of the nose, which was dressed by Dr. George |W. Dunn, who lives near the scene of the accident. Dr. Dunn also at- tended Mrs. Finklestein. Gaida Sent to State Farm Adolph Gaida, 30, of 13 Hayes street, was committed to the state farm, after his wife testifled that he does nothing but drink to excess, abuse the children and annoy her. {Although he promised Judge Trace- {ski the last time he was in court that he would go te work within a few days he has not done so, his excuse being that he hurt his hand jand could not operate a machine. Sergeant Stadler and Officer Lieb- ler, who arrested Gaida in a store |at 111 Beaver street about 2:30 yes- terday afternoon on complaint of Mrs. Gaida to the probation officer, |testified that he had been drinking but was not intoxicated. They charged him with violation of pro- bation. Sergeant Stadler testified that Gaida showed him a govern- ing.
