Judge Maxwell, in Sentencing George
Reed of BlOcktOn, Lectures
Drunken Auto Drivers.

Judge 7. L. Maxwell, in passing
sentence on George Reed, of Block
ton, who plead guilty to the charge
of assault with intent to commit
great bodily injury, after having
been indicted for manslaughter,
growing out of an auto accident in
which Reed and his brother-in-laW
we're returning from Creston when
their auto was wrecked and George
Bosch was killed, delivered the fol-
lowing lecture in passing sentence on
Reed:
1T is unfortunate for Mr.. Reed
that he is to be the agent by which 1t
is to be brought about, but in view OF
the fact that so many automobiles
are being driven by persons under
the influence of liquor, it is the duty
of the court not to be tr1fiing in the
matter of disposing of this case"
said Judge Maxwell, fining him $500
upon a plea of guilty to reduced
charge. Reed was originally charg-
ed with manslaughter in the death
of George Bosch.
GAS l understand it from the evil
dence and the statements of counsel,
these young men were returning
from Creston on the night of July 3,
and had in the car quantity OF Ii
quors, thing quite common, but not
wholly necessary even for the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July.
"Now, these automobiles are pow
erful pieces of machinery and they
require some skill in their operation.
Even when one is possessed of clear
oh fvy fN
quickly, accidents can not be avoided,
so under no circumstances should
person be allowed to go onto the
highway with an auto and in any
stage of intoxication. And l hope
that the next legislature will take ac-
ton making it felony for any per-
son to attempt to operate an automo-
bile while under the influence OF
liquor to any extent.
ct drive an automobile some my
self, and when l purchased it we
were advised by the dealer not to be
out on the highways about Creston
after 8 o'clock on Saturday nights,
on account of the number of intox1-
Gated drivers leaving Creston at that
time. We have learned that the adj
vice was good, and now when we see
a car approaching loaded with
lot OF young fellows, we drive out in
the grass as near to the fence as we
can and let them go past.
1T appears from the statements
Inere that the defendant and the
young man who died were brothers
in-law, and that they were very
friendly, and ! understand, too, that
the mother of the young man is
friendly to the defendant, holding no
i'll feeling against him because OF the
accident. So, under these circum-
stances, none of us know what pun
ishment Mr.. Reed has already suffer-
ed by reason of this unfortunate cir
cumstance. But, even though he has
suffered to an extent that none ex-
cept himself knows, the court must
not let the matter pass as trlf1e.'
1t was possible under the plea of
guilty of assault with intent to COM
nit great bodily injury to make the
sentence a year in the reformatory
at Anamosa, but the court made the
sentence fine only

answer.
