WANTS CASE THROWN
 OUT OF COURT
Attorney Geary Thinks Automobile Owners Rights Have Been Violated.

Attorney John c. Geary in tile crim- fna1 court of common pleas at New London Tuesday morning took a, fling at the country justices. who prey upon automobile tourists when he declared the proceeding in the case of the state vs. Leon Samuels of New York city was false and fraudulent" Attorney Geary moved that the case against MT. Samueis, who is a wealthy New York business man, be erased from the docket.
 Attorney Geary with much en1pha- sis said: They seem to have an idea in some places sthatSsthe autonaobilist is a person with no rights that any one is bound to respect. Tribute is levied by methods in some places that would make a Barbary pirate blush"
 Attorney Geary said Samuels was passing through Old Lyme by auto bound for New York. He was halsad by State Policemen Jackson and Rudd and after a controversy was arrested and brought before Justice of the Peace George Griswold Then. said Attorney Geary, Samuefs was found guilty without any court having held session and without any warrant hay ing been drawn up against him and was ordered to leave $50 for an ap peal. The receipt given Samuels for the $50, the attorney said, stated that 1t was for an appeal to the superior court to which the case could not come on appeal. He said unfortunate 1y he had nislaid the receipt and could not produce it.
 MT. Geary said the information on which the case in the common pleas court against Samue1s was based set forth that Samuels had been regularly presented in court, which was not SC, and that it purported to be regularly signed by Grand Juror Joseph c. Ely. while as matter of fact Ely was not to be found at the time.
 Attorney Whittlesey said his yer sion of the affair did not agree with MT. Geary's. He said Samuels was in great haste and tuned about being de- tained, so to accommodate him he was presented at once before Justice Gris- wold and was-Gllowed to go after 1eav- ing bail of $50. MT. Whittiesey said the proceeding was proper.
 Attorney Geary said he would mar row his motion down to the claim that Samue4s could not be presented except on properly drawn warrant. Judge Waller said he would reserve decision until next week
 Justice 0riswo1d and other witness es were in court, but Judge Waller said no testimony by them was neces- sary it was simply a question of the law regarding the matter of pre- senting an accused before court without 8 regularly executed warrant.
 Samuels was not in court
