Picard ran into and severely injured John . Hollings, age 76, of 34 Julius strect, Hartford. His injuries were of such an extent that he was unable to ap- pear until last night. According to the testimony of Harry H. Hollings of Manchester Green, he had driven his father from Hartford to Newington to visit his son, Arthur, on Main street. His car was parked on the west side of the road and off the traveled por- tion. Mr. Hollings alighted and while crossing was struck when about four feet from the east side of the road and was thrown about 20 fect. Constable Walsh was called to investigate, and testified that the day had been rainy and the roads wet. The car was owned by Michael Toussaint of Babcock Street, Hart- ford, but d High-Speed he dived 100 | noon he will scale the face of the |feet toward a pool containing four| | feet of water. He misjudged the pool | and struck on his head on the con- | sustaining a broken back | Constable Walsh stated the road is 24 feet wide at this point. and that the car had the right wind deflector broken by the impact. He also stated that the brakes had been tested and were found to be in good condition, but the tires had been worn smooth, causing the car to skid when the brakes were applied. Picard testified he was driving the car from New Britain to Hartford and was driving from 22 to 25 miles per hour and on Main street saw Mr. Hollings come from the back of his parked car. He stated he blew his horn and applied his brakes about 15 feet before striking him, and went from four to five feet after striking him. When asked how he knew he was going but 25 miles an hour, he could give no good explana- tion. He stated that Mr. Hollings was one foot over the center of the pass Mr. Hollings on the right side. When asked by Prosecutor Lucas why he could not pass him on the right he offered no explanation. Judge W. F. Mangan, who repre- sented Picard, asked for a discharge stating the case had not been prov- ed as one of reckless driving. Prose. cutor Lucas said the case had been proved and, that Mr. Hollings was within three feet of the gutter at the time of being struck. He asked for a fine of $50 and costs, Judge Welles stated it was a hard case to decide, as the weather con- ditions at the time had to be con- sidered. He could not- see ®that the man was guilty of reckless driving, but would fine him $10 and costs for speeding. The casts amounted to $24.01. fony Tumiensky and Frank Hol- lister of Manchester and George H. Carter of North Manchester were charged with breach of the peace.
