COUNCIL SUPPORTS FIRE CHIEF
in TRANSFER OF MEMBERS
ANOTHER AUTO
CASE in COURT
City Tribunal In Session Six
Hours On Two Matters
One Case Dismissed, the Other Con.
tinued Six Months

A session of the city court of un-
usual length was held Wednesday
morning. The court convened at 8
o'clock and it was l o'clock before
the second and last case was disposed
of.
/ Napoleon Muire of Providence
street was charged under the statute
with knowingly having in his possess
sion an automobile on which the
identifying numbers had been chang
ed and not filing certificate stating
that fact with the commissioner of
motor vehicles.
/ The ear in question is one of those
the officials claim is stolen car and
which they requested Muire to give up
but which he did but his since been
replevied.
Assisting Prosecuting Attorney II.
c. Bradford prosecuted and Attorney
A. S. Macdonald represented Muire.
/ The state produced as witnesses
Frederick c. Cheney of Saugus,
Mass, who, it is claimed, was the own
er of the car from when it was stol-
en-; Frank T. Murray, insurance adj
justor of Boston; Ralph c. Young,
deputy automobile inspector; Joseph
p. Harrison, Inspector for Hartford
automobile insurance company; Phil
lip w. Flynn, member of the state
police, and r. A. j. Luce, investigator
for an underwriters detective huresa.
! These witnesses identified the car
as the one stolen from Ghevef aad ses-
titled that the numbers had been obIit-
Grated and changed and it was admit
ted by the defendant that he had not
filed certificate stating that the
numbers had been changed or oblit-
Grated.
{ 1t was brought out ON cross exam
ination that the fact that the numbers
had been obliterated and changed
came to the attention of Deputy In
spector Young on the 27th of Janu-
airy, when the defendant applied for a
| public service license. Mr.. Young
said he did not inform Muire at that
time that the numbers had been
. changed. 1t was testified to, under
cross examination, that Muire was
/ told of the change and obliteration of
the numbers on January 30th and
that on that day, at the request of the
| officers, he turned the car over to
them.
Following the states presentation
of the case the attorney for the de-
! tense moved that the case be dismiss
ed on the ground that a prima facie
case had not been made out as it had
only been shown that Muire had
knowledge of the changed and oblit-
Grated numbers on the same day that
he turned the car over to the officers
and that therefore he had not had the
car in his possession while knowing
that the numbers had been changed
or obliterated. The court granted the
motion, finding Muire not guilty.
The second case was one for non
support. The defendant was repre-
scented by Attorney A. s. Macdonald
The evidence showed family differ
ences and that the wife twice left her
husband. She said she was willing to
return home and take care OF her two
children. The husband agreed to this
and the case was continued SIX
months so that they may live together
again if possible.

i3ent Ct the Putnam Buick Company.
He also leaves another brother in Put
nam, Jacob Wolfe, also in the junk
business. Besides his two brothers in

BROKE INTO JAIL

Charles Atwater, a local shoe re-
pair man who has on one occasion
paid penalty for bootlegging, was
captured Monday night breaking in
to the basement of the court house
where the contraband liquor is stor-
ed. Somebody had broken in on
Sunday night and carried off some
of the liquor, ana the officers made
a guess that he would return, which
he did. On that occasion he was al
lowed to get in and then when told
to surrender he ran. He was cap
tured after short chase.
On Monday morning two empty
suit cases were found on the west
ditch bank west of Sagehurst, and
were identified as having disap-
peared from the court house. On
Thursday morning a full case of "a
pints of whiskey was recovered from
the strip of weeds which the county
maintains directly in front of Editor
Trego's home. Atwater says Trego
must have stolen it, and 'Trego says
it's funny what a man misses in this
world by not getting quick action.

and always remember that your ad-
versaries, as keen perhaps and as re-
sourceful as yourself, are racking
very acute brains for the same pur-
pose.
1t means something to win in a
competition of this kind. 1t is a
demonstration of capacity that is ex-
traordinary. 1t proves a winning
personality. Sometimes it proves up

based on facts and observations and
lay your plans accordingly, there is
yet time to stem the tide and turn 1t
to sweeping victory.
Are you going to be the one to
finish triumphantly with an over
whelming number of votes or are you
going to be content with what you
now have and see the efforts of these
many weary weeks go to waste and
the rewards of the campaign wrested
from your grasp by more enterpris-
ing competitors? 1t is up to you
now, or let your rivals beat you to it.
Don't try to figure just how many
votes it will take to win, for you will
surely fail to get enough. Don't be
afraid of having too many votes, for
you CAN'T HAVE TOO MANY. 1t
would be better to win by a million
votes or so more than enough to get
left by few thousand.
Over-confidence mas lost many bat
ties. Relaxation at this stage of the
campaign is suicidal to success. De-
termination to win, coupled with re-
lentless activity in vote-getting, will
make any candidate winner. What
is intended to be done must be done
now. To temporize is to let some
competitor sweep ahead and claim
the prize that would have been yours.
Better Safe Than Sorry
A few more laps and the course
will have been run. Only a short
time remains to choose between vic
tory and defeat-success or failure.
Don't overlook your chances to win.
Avail yourself of every opportunity
this period" affords.
Think and plan constantly, for this
means success. Figure ways to win,
