Mrs. Holmes testified that she was driving from New Britain to Hart. ford at about 3:30 p. m. and traffic was light. When about 500 yards from the intersection west of Willard avenue and Cedar street, Watkins' car coming from the rear, crowded her off the road, causing her car to be ditched and wrecked. 8he stated she was going 25 to 30 miles an hour and Watkins' car in the rear et a much faster speed. When parallet to her, his car swerved causing her to run off the road. She claimed that no warning horn was sounded. Frank Winn of 42 Beuna Vista avenue, New Britain, saw the acci- dent. He stated that Watkins'qcar was going fast, and it appeared to him that Watkins' car struck the running board of the other car. Lucille Winn, daughter of Frank Winn, also saw the accident. 8he testified that Watking' car was zig- ragging and appeared to sideswipe Mrs. Holmes' car off the road. Winn's car was about 500 feet from the accident and they stated that ‘Watkins' car continued on its way to Hartford until stopped by Wina, who told Watkins that they had run Mrs. Holmes' car oft the road. te kins replied that he had done no wrong, and was not aware of an ac- cident, He went back with Mr. Winn and assisted the occupants of the wrecked car. Constable Arthur Olesen testified that he was called. Mrs. Holm?s' inside wheels were four feet off the road, which is 19 feet wide at this point, she was traveling on her right side of the road, according to the tracks. Constable Floyd Rice corroborated Constable Olesen. Bernard Watkins, the accused man, testified that he was driving from New Britain to Hartford on what is called the Clayton road. He passed several cars, and always drove at 25 to 30 miles an hour. He had never been involved in an accideat and denied cutting in. He claimed to have sounded his horn before passing cars. He was halted by Mr. Winn three or four hundred feet from beyond where the accident oc- curred and claimed this was the firat information he had of an accident. He had a spcedometer on his car and knew he was going 25 to 30 miles an hour, he said. When halted by Winn, he passed Winn's ear at about 15 feet. He was cor- ; roborated in his testimony by his brother, Vicicr Watkins of New Britain. Grand Juror Harold Lucas, who prosecuted the case, claimed it was & clear case of reckless driving and that Mrs. Holmes in order to avoid an accident had sacrificed her car. Lucas asked for a finding of guil- ty to the charge of reckless driving and recommended a fine of $50 and costs. Attorney Charles W. Tamu- lonis of New Britain, who repre- mented Watkins, claimed that his client observed all the rules of the road, no marks of an accident were found on his car and that he did not take him to be of the type to ,run away from an accident, as he ehowed no hesitancy in stopping when Mr, Winn accosted him. Judge Welles, in reviewing the case, found Watkins guilty and fin- ;d him $50 and costs, amounting to 68.46. icole of New Britain were arrested Monday by Constable Olesen and Rice on the charge of trespassing on the Garvan property near the mill pond.
