 MT. Newton left his car on the
 
 club. He was advised during the evening that the rear light had gone out and he attended to it. An officer discovered that it was not burning later and the owner of the car was ordered to appear in court. The cir cumstances in the case made a nolle advisable and MT Newton was not compelled to come to court today. @ Hart Dave
 Fines of S5 and costs, amounting to about SAP, imposed on Former Deputy Sheriff w. c. Hart and James Lee, a teamster in his employ, have been paid and the cases will not come to trial in the superior court. Hart and his teamster were convicted on the charge of delivering beer in mo- license Bristol without having the orders which the law requires. They took an appeal the .deposed officer contending that as common carrier he was acting within his rights and should not have been held for vio- lating the law. He had no intention of going contrary to any statute and he did not believe the lines should have been imposed.
 He subsequently, announced his in- tcntion of going before a jury in the
  dered by Judge Malone. Later County Sheriff Edward L. Dewey re- fused to reappoint him as a deputy On account of the character of the publicity given the case. MT. Hart then changed his plans and rather than go to the expense of retaining counsel to defend himself, especially when there was a chance that the upper court would give conviction on a technical violation of the law. he vacated his appeal.
 The incident proved to be unfor- 1 tunate for he former policeman and l his many friends have sympathized 1 with him greatly. They were indig- l rs.nt over his dismissar by Sheriff 1 Dewey as they believed he deserved l better treatment

This vas particularly true of the "jitney" operators. They have been hit hard l 'y the activities of the police in both , olainville and Bristol, some of them alling into the hands of the author ties in both places.
