Berlin to Enforce Law in Regard
 to All Motorists. ..
DRUM CORPS WINS AT CONVENTION
East Berlin Doctor Sues George Cole. ; Funeral of Mrs, A. IL. Smith Held
 Against Increase In Grand Hist.

That the Berlin police authorities intend to enforce all laws pertaining to motor vehicles this year was in- dicated by three cases tried before Judge George Griswold in the police court this morning. The offenders were Albert Gaudette and Miriam Perkins of Bridgeport and William v. Brady of New Haven, all arrested yesterday for violation of the muffler law. The trio was held up late yes- terday afternoon by Sheriff James Clark and several other local officers who were stationed along the highway below Berlin. The arrests were made at the hill near c. F. Muller's to- bacco farm, a short distance from Durkee's corners. The sheriff ana Constable Harry Chapman testified that Gaudette and Perkins were speeding along with the mufflers of their machines wide open. The de- fendants both pleaded not guilty Perkins claiming that his single cylin- N der machine was running poorly yes- yerday, his spark being low and the belt slipping continually. At the top of the hill the engine picked up ana several heavy, explosions resulted, but as far as the muffler was concerned Perkins denied that he had opened st. He has been operating his ma chine about three weeks and this was his first offense.
 Gaudette testified that his one cylinder machine makes as much noise with the muffler closed as when open. He stated that he and Per lxins were returning to Bridgeport from Windsor Locks and on cross ssexamination Prosecuting Attorney Gibney caused the prisoner to con- tradict himself on several Do'nts in his testimony. He has been running 8 machine for two years and this was also his first offense. He denied hav- hHkSg his muffler open.
 Brady told different tale. He ad- mitted his guilt from the first stat Ing that he had been stalled by an automobile for several hundred yards, the machine blocking his progress and keeping him from passing Finally as a last resort he opened his muffler for a brief spell and by this noise was able to attract the autoists and pass by them. Just as he passed the ma rhine the officers stepped out and ar rested him. He admitted the offense and stated that this was his first after MLeveral years of motorcycling.
 After hearing all testimony Judge Griswold imposed fine of $1 and costs on Gaudette and Perkins and allowed Brady to go after paying the
