through Plainville late last night without any headlights He pleaded guilty to driving without the lights alth ough he maintained he was not Intentionally violating any law.
 The accused said he was on his way from Terryvilie to New Britain when arrested. In Bristol his supply of gas became exhausted and, as ne vas unable to get his tank refilled, all thhe garages having been closed for the night, he tried to get home with out lights. In Bristol he testified, he explained his predicament to an of- ficer and was given permission to drive through the city. He intended tc make a similar request here and when he got to the center he stopped the car to tell his troubles to Officer Marine. He did not receive the same consideration given by the Britol po- liceman, the local constable notifying him to appear in court.
 Officer Marine denied that Roy had stopped until he was hailed. He also called attention to the fact that the motorist had driven by Cooke's garage without making any effort to get any gas. Roy explained that the place was dark and he supposed it was closed.
 Roy had been in court in Plainville before for violating the aut light law. He appeared before Justic. Calor and was discharged, although both Grand Juror Gwillim and Justice Condell seemed to believe the fact that he had previously been arrested had some bearing on the case. They termed the action of Justice Calor as a sus- pension of judgment, and the court declared Roy showed negligence this time, having failed to benefit by len ;ency previously shown him. A fine of $1 and costs was imposed,
 Justice Condell explaining that the costs would not be remitted becau SC it was the second appearance of the acused in court.
