request Commissioner Siddons declared
in court that he was taking d special in

consider every policeman derelict in his
duty who does not enforce them to the
letter"

Witnesses in Case.

The first witness called by Malcolm Is.
Varnell. the assistant corporation coun-
sci who prosecuted the case. was Police
man ]. T. Wittstatt- who arrested the
driver of the motor truck. Wittstatt was
not an eye witness of the affair, how
ever. and the chief witnesses for the gov
eminent We're the Commissioner and his
driver, A. F. Hicks.
Hicks said the truck was coming down
10th street northwest last Saturday
morning when he was driving the Com
missioner from Emergency Hospital. At
Pennsylvania avenue the truck turned
the corner at a rate of speed III excess of
that permitted by law, 1t was testified.
Commissioner Siddons confirmed this
testimony.
Attorney Scott who represented Wat
Son, laid stress on the fact that the
driver said the truck had skidded on
the wet pavement and that the Com
missioner had testified that it did not
skid. He said that the driver was in
a. position to observe better what was
going on, but Mr.. Varnell pointed out
that the driver had to give most Of his
attention to handling his horse and
getting the carriage to place of
safety, whereas the Commissioners
watched the incident closely The de-
Tense attempted to prove that the truck
was going slowly. but skidded on the
pavement in turning the corner, and
that the whole AFFAIR was accidental.
Thought No One Near.
Judge Mullowny pointed out that Wat
son himself had admitted that his truc.
could go very slowly around corners,
and that the fact of the streets being
wet should have made him use redoubled
precaution. The driver then said he was
| sure there were no other vehicles around,
or he wouldn't have made such a wide
detOur.
In regard to the vehicles, You found
out you were wrong, didn't your Mr..
Varnen said. MIR. Scott objected, how
ever. and the witness didn't answer.
1ie commissioner said Immediately
after the narrowly averted accident he
drove to the District building and in
structed Policeman Wittstatt to cause
the arrest of the driver, and have him
appear in court today.
