He asserted that the statutes must be proved by evidence and not by presumptious, referring to the fact that the state had not brought out the time of sunset on the night of the arrest.
 Gibney promptly retaliated and hot argument ensued.
 In passing judgment, Judge Gris- wold said that, while the evidence had been of conflicting nature, it able doubt, that the accused had vio- lated the law in question, which was passed for the preservation of proper ty and the safety of drivers.
