NGRWICH BULLETIN, ~IN AND ABOUT WESTERLY Rebuked by Judge Williams—Case of Charles Richmond Continued—Annual Finzncial Town Meeting Soon—Death of Mrs. Mary E. Crandall, 83— Automobile Speeder ; Bishop Perry to Confirm Class at Christ Church. . —— Harold Barber, who pleaded nelo, his work in his father's shop, where the charge of overspeed- | automobiles ave repaired, should have e i less | made him cautious, aud when accused ing an automobile and with driving, was betore the Third district court Friday, Judge Willlams having taken the case under advissment a exX] ng to R, kb ee, V5 he ‘meantime the Judge had ung setting forth as & cause for the fast dri that she had sent him from the finner table after his sister, who had but receatly recovered from @& severe iliness, and should have been home at the dlmner hour. The judge had also received a Jetter from Attorney Ledwidge, coun- mel for the accused, which stated that De had been Injured at the Larsen fire and could ot appear in court. —The judge considered it due that these matters _should be presented in open court. In response to a query from the court, Town Solicitor Agard asked for a substantial sentence. Judge Willlams said he regretted that Attorney Ledwidge was not pres- ent. He then called the accused to the par and talked to him in a way that would be punishment sufficient for any offense and should result in tlon. He reminded young Bar- ber that ractically confessed uilt of reckless driving and exceeding speed limit, and the court had been asked by, the representative of the mtate to suspend judgment on the reckless driving feature He aaid while the case is very serious the socused did not consider it as such, for when_first @ in court he ap- peared to treat the matter very lightly and of little or no consequence. The court said that the accused had the reputation of being a reckless driver of automobiles. : He did not want to say that accused was a malicfous driv. er, but his experience as a driver and Ohildren Cry FOR FLETCHER'S said he was traveling within the speed limit of 15 miles an hour he_ knew better. The judge said youg Barber as an automobile driver was a menace to public safety and had utter disre- gard for the safety of ethers. Judge Williams said he had tried to give consideration to what had been said in Barber’s behalf by his mother and others, but that the going after his sister in an automobile did not warrant. recklessness and excessive speed. The court reminded Barber that he must have diie regard for oth- ers in the public highway and that he owed it to the public i do something else than blow the horn, expecting te see people run and teams draw in close to the curbing. It had been stated in court, said Judge Willlams, that were a heavy fine imposed the penalty would fall on the father of the young man, and that feature was given some consider- ation, but the court must do its duty. At the present time, in the mind of the court, sentence ought to be . to the Providence county Jjail, but decision Sould not be made in the absence of Attorney Ledwidge. The judge said he would continue the case for one week and that the action.of the cused in the meantime may be of some weight. Town Soiicitor court that continuation meant creased cost and in the event of peal and non-appearance of witne: these costs would fall upon compl: ant, especially if Barber should swear that he was not traveling at the rate ot 15 miles, as has been stated in this court. Rather than take chance, as the matter is now beyond the coming session of tie superior court. he would favor nol pros of the case on payment of costs at this time; and thus relieve the complainant of liability for costs. Judge Williams said the expenses of continuance was small, $1.°0, and there was no assurance that the cosi§ ac- Agard reminded the in- “Play = Ball !’ YOU WILL FIND A FINE LINE OF Baseballs, 5c to $1.25 Open Every Evening Bats, 5¢c to $1.0¢ Gloves, 10c to $1.00 FIRST BASEMAN’S, FIELDERS’ AND CATCHERS’ eedt...

It was asked tnat the’ first count of reckless driving be not pass- cd upon, and the counsel for accused asked for probation en the . secend count. The court weuld net agree to the nol pros. : Town Selicitor Agard said the state declared With em- should be defended: Judge Wiliiam phasis that the most severe sentences imposed for vielations eof the autome= bile laws in the State were imposed by the Third district ceurt sitting ia Westerly, and the state i3 being de- fended and yeung Barber is cegnisant of the fact. The usual fine ef $100 and in some instances with jail sen- tence imposed by this court are knewn to Barber, but witheut meral effect. In Providence the fine is usually $18, 5o the state is defended in the court at Westerly. The judge said he had not fully made up his mind as to sen- tence, but the punishment will mnot fall upon the father of the-young man. The case was continued for one week. Charles Richmend was complainant at the meeting of the Westerly town council Monday against Chief of Police Thomas E. Brown, who refused to grant him a license to cellect and sell Jjunk. Mr. Richmond declared he has been a resident and taxpayer in West- erly for ten years and if Mr. Brown “had anything against me he must prove I{t” The council referred the matter to Chief Brown. iday morning Chief Brown was complainant in the Third district court against Charles Richmond, charging him with buying and selling junk without a license., Mr. Richmond pleaded not guilty and said he was not ready for trial, as his lawyer whs out, of town. The trial of the case was continued fo next Friday and Mr Richmond furnished a bond of $100 with Mrs. Richmond as surety.
