M|NN|CK IN COURT
ACCUSED OF DRIVING
At EXCESSIVE SPEED
Result of Collision on Pennsyl-
vania Ave. Last Wednesday
Night.
SMITH ARRAIGNED ALSO:
DECISION is RESERVED

Six cases Of alleged violation Of the
traffic and motor laws were heard before
Judge Hastings in Municipal Court
today The most important case was
that against William Minnick, who was
given a hearing on the charge of exceed
ing the speed limit. Judge Hastings
reserved decision.
Minnick was arrested yesterday after
noon in connection with an accident which
occurred late last Wednesday night in
which two automobiles collided at Della
ware avenue and Van Buren, street
One car was driven by Minnick and the
other BY Fred Smith, 1921 Madison
street. Smith was turning into Van
Buren, street from Delaware avenue and
was not going over 10 miles an hour he
claims when his car was struck by Min
nick machine and hurled across the
road against telephone pole. Min
nick s car, which was coming in Pennsyl-
vania avenue. swerved and Knocked down
part of a stone wall around the grounds
Of Fin Spare, 1922 Delaware avenue
Smith claims that Mnnick was going
at a high rate of speed when he hit his
machine, while Minniok SAYS that he
was not going over Is miles an hour and
that he did not hit Smiths car as he ran
his car into the wall TO avoid the collision.
One witness testified that Minnick passed
him three blocks from the scene of the
accident and admitted that he himself
was going about twenty miles an hour.
Smith was arrested last night by Officer
Michael Barr on charge of exceeding
the speed limit and not observing the
traffic rules Minnick was tho only
witness called against him and he testi-
fed that Smith did not hold out his hand
to indicate that he was going to turn the
corner There seemed to be a question,
however. whether from Minnick' S posi-
ton he could sec whether Smith had held
out his hand. The speed limit violation
was alleged because Minnick claimed
Smith went faster than traffic rules allow
for corner where the width of the street
is less than 100 feet. Judge Hastings
also reserved decision in this case
Roland Rissil, arrested yesterday after
noon by Motorcycle Officer Skepski
and given q hearing today on the charge
of exceeding the speed limit and operating
a motor vehicle without a license, was
fined $40 on the speed charge. The other
case was dismissed when it was found
that the defendant had only recently been
discharged from the army and that he
was operating the automobile In an
emergency case.
John Frisch, charged with operating
a motor vehicle without license and with
exceeding the speed limit, was fined $40
on the charge OF speeding. He was not
held on the other charge when he proved
to the court that he had secured driver
license this year but had lost il.
Pleading guilty to a charge of violating
the speed limit Willard McAbee was
fined $40
