FIGHT TO AVOID FINE IN
AUTO SPEEDING CASE FAILS

Judge Charles L. Herr, of the Fourth
Precinct Police Court, had a rather Pc
culiar mix-up In an acknowledgement
ing case today, and after an argument
ruled against Benjamin Weinberg, who,
as attorney for Samuel Klein, of Sc
Springfield avenue, the defendant in
the case, asked for a dismissal of the
charge.
The case arose out of a speed
ing charge preferred by Policeman
Schroeder, of the traffic squad, on Oc-
tober 3 last. On hat day young Klein,
who is II years old, and his father
were going through Littleton avenue
at a speed estimated at twenty-five
miles an hour. Schroeder stopped the
machine and placed the father under
arrest. In the Fourth Precinct Court
last week the father proved that it
was the son h was running the ma
chine. A warrant was then sworn out
for the son, but on the promise of At
torney Weinberg that the, son would
be produced in court the warrant was
not served. This Mr.. Weinberg claimed
made the case void, as the person
named in q warrant must be arrested
before he can be brought to trial.
Judge Herr did not agree with him
and imposed a fine of s25 on the speed
ing charge. Weinberg immediately
filed a notice Of appeal and furnished
q bond to cover the cost of carrying of
the case to a higher court.
