Second Warrant for Cafferty.
 Civil action against the Bristol and Plainville Tramway company for damages resulting from a collision be- tween a trolley car and an auto owned DN Charles H. Newton, secretary and treasurer of the Osborne and Stephen son Manufacturing company, it is eX- pected to be brought by the motoriSt unless the corporation admits re- SponSlblllty and makes settlement. a result considered unlikely judging from the claims Of the crew in charge of the car
 The accident occurred late yester- cay afternoon on West Main street and that the consenuences were not more serious is considered remarkable. Mir, Newton escaped with minor in juries and his auto was not damaged beyond repair although it was carried nearly seventy feet before the trolley car could be brought to a stop.
 MT. Newton lays entire responsi blllty for the accident to the speed at which the trolley car was operated. He had started his auto from in front of his factory and had crossed onto the tracks, a wagon load of
 
 him hiding thetrolley ear from his view. The same outfit probably made it impossible for the motorman to see him until collision was inevitable.
 Mr. Newton was driving a light Saxon machine and after the first crash it was picked up on the fender of the trolley car and, according to the autoist, was carried for a distance Of SlXty-nine feet The two front f wheels of the machine were smashed and the mud guards were also damaged. The driver went to Dr. J. C. Moody's office and the physician gave him treatment for bruised and strained muscles in his right arm.
 Payment for the damage is expected by the autoist. He ayers that the cars run entirely too fast through the streets of the town and as a result the safety of motorists, teamsters and pedestrians is endangered. It is said that the crew on the car claims that they could not avoid the accident. They deny that the car was run at an excessive speed.
 Second Warrant for Cafferty.
 Grand Juror S. S. Gwillim launched a new surprise on the young men mixed up in Saturday nights dis turbanco when he issued a second warrant last evening for Richard Cafferty, who was discharged from custody at the hearing Monday af- ternoon. The warrant was turned over to Officer Marine, who notified the accused to be in court this after noon when the continued cases of Paul Leonard and Frank Graham. charged with breach of the peace, are assigned for hearings
 The action indicates that the prose- cutor has been advised that it is legal to change the date of the writs on which the young men were originally hailed into court.
 When the cases were first tried Lawyer McDonough, counsel for the accused, pointed out that while the testimony showed that the alleged of fense was com mitted at an early hour on the morning of Sunday, March ', the Writs bore the date of March G. This point was brought out when Caf- ferty's hearing was in progress, and the court discharged the accused continuing the cases of Leonard and Graham until this afternoon to give him an opportunity to get some ad- vice as to what action was neces- sary. .E
