Gustave J. Evans of Groton pleaded when he was presented Monday morning in the Groton town court, but Judge AL fred F. Hewitt found probable cause and bound him over to the September term of the superior court on this charge, which arises from the automobile accident in Groton last Wednesday morning when Evans was driving machine which col lided with a tree and three of his passen- gers were killed besides three being in- jured.
 Evans, who is the driver of public service car, was not called on to testify in court, but two of the witnesses were Miss Dorothy Ward and Miss Anna Birmingham, who were in the car, and were injured in the crash at Elbow curve, Thames street, Groton, near the home of Charles Gray.
 Bonds for Evans were placed at $3,000 and were furnished for his appearance in the superior court.
 That the accident was caused by reck- less driving on the part of Evans, for which he was held criminally culpabie, was the verdict of Coroner Franklin H. Brown, arrived at following an examina- tion of Evans Thursday afternoon.
 
 that speeding was 'the prime cause of the accident none of the witnesses gave tes- timony as to the rate of speed at which the big Hudson car was travelling, 'Nery fast" being the nearest approximation.
 Miss Anna Birmingham, waitress at the Hotel Griswold, stated upon direct exam ination that she was seated in the front seat of the car and was rendered uncon- scious by the accident. A question by At torney Arthur T. Keefe for the defense, whether she had ridden with Evans at other times, and if she had observed he speeded his car, was objected to by Attor- ney Warren B. Burrows on the ground that she was not the person accused. Sev- eral other queries of a similar nature were objected to by the prosecutor. who remarked to Attorney Keefe. "If you want to prove Evans guilty of reckless driving you're headed that way" The objections were sustained by Judge Hewitt.
 Miss Dorothy Ward, who gave her home address as Lawrence. Mass. also a wait ress at the Griswold, was the next wit ness. She gave her age as 19. In reply to questions by Prosecutor Burrows, she
