BUS BRINGS
 CROWD INTO COURT

A driver of one of the auto buses running between Norwich and the Groton Iron Works, making two trips day. was arrested by SlIpernumer- ary Abraham Seigal on Tuesday eve ming as the bus came into the city. It is claimed that the bus was carrying nineteen passengers, when the legal limit allows only eighteen.
 One of the passengers of the bus who was haled into cours Tuesday evening said that it looked like a case of spite to him and to the other pas sengers. The scene at the police sta- tion when the driver and his passen- gers were brought in was a near riot, everyone trying to get a chance to tell his story at once. When Seigel made his charge. from the remarks hurled at him by the crowd and 10 ev- eryone within hearing it was evident
 that they doubted his word.
 The story told by one of the pas
 sengers is that both Seigel and the other driver have been making trips to the iron works daily and that each has been doing a good business. The
 passenger states on Monday morning he rode down from the city on Sci gels bus and he counted A passen- gers in the load, but on Tuesday night on the return trip the majority of the
 men decided they would rather ride iI the other bus. Seigel, he claims, was
 more or less peeved at this and drove his bus all the way to Norwich just ahead of the other. When the city was reached, where Seigel's authority
 was good, he stopped his machine and halted the other. arresting the driver and taking the passengers as wit nesses. This procedure in the eyes o1 | the passengers was case of spite as | Seigel himself, it is claimed, had beer guilty of similar viola ton of the law
 in carrying an overload in his bus The case will come before the courf | this morning.
