Judge Griswold said he would like to give Perette the benefit of the doubt and continue the case for two weeks, so that the prisoner might have an oportunity to produce Mrs Ventura in court, as there is some doubt as to whether she wrote the letters.
 Middletown Man Discharged.
 Prior to the Perrette case, Joseph M. Lucie of Middletown was charged with reckless driving on October 8. Enrico Mouliero said he was out mo- torcycle on that day and was com ing from his home in Beckley toward Berlin, when he met party of friends at the top of Hannas hill. He stopped and went to the side of the road and was fixing his machine when MT. Lucie came along and ran over the motorcycle. He said the auto was go- ing at a low rate of speed. Louis Rubin, his companion Solomon Hull teen and Albert Johnson, of New Brit ain, who were driving by in a team gave like testimony.
 MT. Lucie told the court he was coming up the hill and thought he had plenty of room to get by, but owing to his unfamiliarity with judg- ing distances from a moving car he struck the motorcycle. Prosecutor Gibney said the whole affair was, in his opinion, an accident and Judge D. J. Donahue of Middletown, MT. Lucie's counsel, asked the court for leniency nf ho ha cf n the accused. He said his client is willing to settle for the damage. Judge Griswold dismissed the com plaint on the payment of costs
