Berlin News COURT FINES MAN NOT DRIVING CAR Confused Story Brings Penalty, But Money Is Remitted PRISONER ~ EYOKES PITY — Prosecutor Pays His Way Back to New Haven—Church Notices— Daylight Saving Time Begins To- morrow—New A. & P. Manager. Steadfastly denying that he was the driver of the car which was re- sponsible for a bad crash on the Ber- lin road April 14, Thomas McLean ! of New Haven was in the Berlin fown court last night in answer to a charge of reckless driving. Judge G. G. Griswold decided that the man was guilty of the charge and fined him $25 and costs, the entire amount of which was remitted. The case was one of the most peculiar in the history of the court due to the apparent fact that Mclean was not the driver of the car. The accident occurred near the state scales in the southern part of the town, and McLean, with a companion, was taken to the Meri- den hospital, where he was confined until yesterday. He was seriously in- jured ahout the head. It was stated in court by Mr. and Mrs. Drake of Hartford and their daughter, Lil- Jian, that the only occupants of the ecar were McLean and his com- panion, who were in the front seat of the car as it cut from line and crashed head on into the car driven by Mrs. Jeannette Drake. Tt was also testified by them that Mcl ean was found. after the accident, pinned un- der the car near the driver's side and that the woman was walking around clear of the car. The stories of the three coincided in every de- tail. Denies Driving Car MclLean testified on the witne stand that he was in the front se of the car but that he was not driv- fng the car at the time of the acci- dent and had not driven the car on the day of the accident at all. He stated that Robert Battles of Bridgeport was the driver and that following the accident Battles had run away from the overturned car, apparently because he had no oper- ator's license with him. He further stated that there was another man in the back seat of the car at the time of the accident, O. C. Bridgett. also of New Haven. who was the owner of the car. These men were not seen at any time after the accident by the officer who investigated. Mcl.ean stated that he was un- conscious as a result of the accident and that he 4id not know of the arrest until Bridgett visited him at the Meriden hospital and asked him to say that he was the driver of the car at the time of the accident. saying that in this manner they would fight them in court. He stat- ed in court that he had refused this request and would not lie, as there was no apparent reason for him to do so. With Bridgett at the time of the visit to the hospital was a New Haven lawyer who refused to carry out the case as he had heen led to believe that the truthful driver of the car was the man in the hospital. Meclean said. “Giot Friends No More™ His story appeared sincere to the court, and upon being asked by Judge Griswold where his friends were at the present time, McLean This too has rose Sized 9-6x $550 it is big value, . $350 a prize at only answered with tears In his eye ‘Don't seem like 1 got any friends no more.” The fact that McLean did not remember whether or not the party had been to Hartford, where they had st out for, caused the judge to impose the fine. | After the fine had been imposed | McLean stated that he had no money, that the hospital bill had come to over $90, and that he had no way to meet the bill for some time. Judge Griswold remitted the fine, saying that McLean had suf- fered enough as a result of the cident without additional punish- ment by the court. Asked how he would get to New Haven, McLean stated that he did not know as he had no money with him. Charles F. Lewis. prosecutor of the court, took the man to the Ber- lin depot and bought him a ticket for his home town. Kensington Cong.
