Lindauer, 508 Queen Anne Road, Teaneck, was fined $200, assessed $22 costs, and deprived of his license for two years when found guilty of a drunk driving charge before Bogota Recorder A. August Belmonte last night. Lindauer was arrested August 9 by Officer Hugh McCracken of Bogota. He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident by Arnold Olson of 48 Forest Avenue, Teaneck. Brought to the Bogota police station by Mccracken, charges of drunken driving and failure to stop when signalled were preferred against Lindauer by McCracken. Belmonte was called to the police station at the time of Lindauer's arrest, held a hearing and set bail. It was on his observations at the hearing that Belmonte based in part his decision of last night. Following the hearing, three doctors examined Lindauer. Dr. Charles Tudor of Palisade Avenue, Bogota, examining at 7:30, pronounced him unfit to drive. Dr. Richard Dulsberg of 58 Garrison Avenue, Teaneck, examining at 9 o'clock, found him fit to drive, as did Dr. Arthur W. Pindar of 27 Queen Anne Road, Teaneck, who examined at 1:20. Most of the testimony in connection with the case was adduced at the trial held in the Recorder's Court Aug. 13, At that time the three doctors testified, as well as Dr. Frank A. Patti, of 304 Broad Avenue, Leonia, Lindauer's family physician, who stated that a nervous disorder would have caused Lindauer to act drunk. Edward Milchesky of 293 Queen Anne Road, Teaneck, a witness for Lindauer, McCracken, and Lindauer himself. The case was continued to bring Olson into court to testify, which he did last night. He repeated the story which he told McCracken on the night of Lindauer's arrest. He stated that Lindauer knocked the bumper off his car, parked on Queen Anne Road, Teaneck, and refused to give satisfaction. Lindauer was represented at both sessions by John Waldron, Teaneck attorney. Waldron moved for dismissal of the case on two grounds last night. First, he cited his motion, made at the August 13 trial, for an adjournment because Olson, the complainant, was not present. He claimed an irregularity since the defendant was forced to testify first. He then moved for a dismissal on the facts as presented in the evidence, questioning the incriminating evidence and emphasizing the evidence which indicated Lindauer innocent. Belmonte, in denying the dismissal motion, stated that he had himself been a witness to Lindauer's action immediately after he was brought into the police station and that there was no doubt in his mind that Lindauer was unfit to drive. He cited two high court cases in which decisions on drunken driving were handed down as explanation of his decision in the Lindauer case. After announcing his decision on the drunk driving charge. Belmonte dismissed the failure to stop on signal complaint. The charge of leaving the scene of an accident was not pressed. Waldron served notice of appeal on Belmonte Immediately after the decision was announced.
