ow Briain an Appcs Sut ington Court Decision (Special to tha Herald) -+ Southington, May 20—George C. Sparmer, a fireman of New Britain, was fined $25 and costs in the Southington police court this morn- ing by Judge J. Lambert Degnan on the charge of reckless driving. He was represented by Judge William ¥. Mangan of New Britain and he appealed the decision to the Junc term of the superior court. The trial was the result of an acci- @ent on North Main street about four menths ago when Sparmer, driving along from Plainvilic to the center of Southington, near the Mc- Hugh home, struck and severcly in- jured Richard Elliott, Jr.. age 10 years, of North Main street while the boy was on his way to school. Elliott recently returned home after spending three months as a patient in 8t. Francis' hospital suffering from a double fracture of the leg veceived in the accident. Through his attorney, Mr. Sparmer elaimed that he was not going more than 25 miles an hour at the time of the accident and he testified that the boy ran across the road directly in the path of his automobile. He stated that he has been a driver on the New Britain five de- ent for more :;t':ll never been in an accident in that capacity. He is a driver of Engine Co. No. 3 truck at the pres- ont time. Before that he was driver for Chief William Noble for about two years. He was arrested anp; the accident by Peliccman Edward Geary.and Arthur Obcrempt.

ECKENER EXPECTS T0 FLY ON FRIDAY (Continued from First Page) Jections to, or criticism of its con- struction, can in any way be derived therefrom. That the airship, de- spite the defective motors, was nev- ertheleas able so to maneuvre that 2 safe landing was effected is in i self another proof of its airworthi- ness. It is also clear that another kind of multi-motored aircraft could not have done better. I would like further to astate emphatically that sabotage is out of the quesion. “Refore the defects have been cx- amined, T can only observe generally that some hitherto unknown factor must have entered in the case of the motors which caused the disturb- ences. It is possible that certain lit- tle changes undertaken on them since the last Mediterranean cruise had something to do with our mis- hap. but this is difficult to under- otand In view of the fact that the motors equipped with these changes functioned excellently during our 13 hours voyage to Vienna on May 2. Cause Still & Mystery *“The question has been raised ‘whether the motor defect was due to ‘wear and tear (Dr. Eckener used the German word for ‘fatigue’). This question is advanced in view of the fact that the motors already had five or six hundred hours service behind them. Let me point out, however, that after the last Mediterranean erulse, two of the motors were min- utely examined for this very pur- pose, but neither showed the slight- est sign of wear and tear. “However, all this must necessari- 1y guess work until the broken parts are thoroughly examined.” Dr. Eckener, according to his present plans, will remain at Friedrichshafen until Wednesday and will then go to Cuers to bring the Graf back Thursday or Friday. Two new motors have already been shipped and the third is leaving to- day. ‘Two Motors Repaired Cuers, France, May 20 (®—Motors of the giant dirigible, Graf Zeppelin, were being repaired today to permit 1ta departure either Wednesday or ‘Thursday under its own power for its Friedrichsafen hangar.
