ARRESTS AFTER MONTVILLE AUTO SMASH

Edgar L. Black, 22s of 42 Tilley street, New London. was arrested on the charge of operating an automobile while intoxicated Sunday afternoon at Montville after he had run his car into the rear of the automobile of Michael Levine. of 113 Washington street, this city. hurling the Levine car across the troi- -ey tracks and --p on to the bank by the side of the road.
 Charles w. Sweeney 27 also of New London, who had been with Black at the time of the accident, was later arrested for operatino Blacks car without an operators license. None of the five occupants of the two cars were injured.
 The s1nashup occurred about ? o'clock near the Montville trolley switch, both automobiles travelling towards Norwich at the time Black came up behind the Levine car and in trying to pass it ran into although, according to Inspector George H. Bradford, the Levine car. with Miss Lena Gordon driving. was well over on the right hand side of the road. The Norwich owned car had a rear wheel taken off and was otherwise badly smashed around the rear end. It landed up on the bank with the front thrown out across the trolley tracks so that traffic was interrunted for some time. The Black car, which
Norwich bulletin., 1920-01-05

is owned by the father of the oung man who was driving, was not badly damaged.
 Inspector Bradford and Constable Michael J. Hickey arrested young Black and brought him to Norwich police headquarters, were he was lock- ed up. A good sized jug of Italian wine, pretty well ernptied was taken from the Black car by the officers.
 On their way back to Montviile af- ter leaving Black at police headquar ters, they met Sweeney driving the car towards this city. although he had been ordered to let it stand in the road at Montville. He was stopped and when it was found he had no opera tors license he was arrested on the charge of running the car without a license. Both young men remained locked up at police headquarters here over Sunday night.
 Inspector Bradford had a com plaint from Michael Shea of New London that Black was driving reek- 1essly and nearly ran into the Shea car on the road at point some ways south of where the smashup with the Levine auto occurred MT. Shea said that Black passed him from the rear just as another car was coming from the opposite direction and it was only by good luck that the three were not piled up together.
