Justice HorsfaII Imposes Fine of $50 and Costs, Accused Making Settle ment-Sunday at the Churches- Linen for Miss Johnson-Briefs.

Pleading guilty to charges of oper- ating an auto while intoxicated, driv- ing recklessly and with running a car without a license, Harry Donahue of this place, was fined $50 and costs, amounting to $62.5O, last evening when he appeared in the Unionville court before Justice John B. Horsfall. Relatives of the young man settled.
 Donahue entered his plea through Judge William P. Malone of Bristol, his counsel. The lawyer mad discussed the case with Prosecutor G. E. Taft and but little testimony was intro duced, the court giving judgment af- ter the plea had been entered.
 The young mans appearance in court was the sequel to an accident over a week ago in which a ''jitney," ! operated by Donahue, was involved The driver was at the wheel when he lost control, the car crashing into q telegraph pole and turning turtle. The occupants of the machine were thrown out and two of them were badly in jured. They spent several days in the hospital because of the hurts they sustained.
 Judge Malone explained to the court that he was satisfied with the | imposition of fines on all charges al- l though the penalty should be light, | the financial circumstances of the ac- cused making it impossible for him to pay a severe penalty. Justice Hors- fall fined him s30 for operating the car while intoxicated and $10 on each of the other two counts.
 Notification of the action of thf court will be forwarded to the secre- tary of state and Donahue will not b. permitted to operate a car at leas until he appears for a hearing.
