mother suffered slightly from the shock.
His family stopped at the Brooks House
last night.
This morning States Attorney w r.
Daley made an investigation of the col
lisiOn with the result that warrant was
sworn out and served on Mr. Kelsey at
Moshers garage He was at once ar
raigned before f. j. Waterman acting
magistrate. In pleading guilty the aged
man stated that he believed himself all
alone on the highway and supposed that
he did not exercise the care that he
should have.
Attorney Daley explained that the top
of the Ford was down and Mr.. Kelsey
should have seen the car approaching. He
recommended fine of SO and costs. as
has been imposed in numerous previous
cases. adding that not many more would
receive such lenient treatment and that
he did not want the public to feel that it
was going to continue any length of time.
Attorney Daley expressed the opinion
that this was not such an aggravated ease
as many had been.
Acting Magistrate Waterman in inn
posing the smaller fine said: 1T strikes
me that S25 il pretty stiff, and don't
want the reputation of Vermont for hos
pitality to visitors t. become any worse
than il already is. think it would be
better to get some of our local people who
