imposed in County Court for driv-
ing an automobile while intoxicated was
dealt Albert Forth, who went to Windsor
Saturday to begin a sentence of not less
than six nor more than II months jim
prisonment Forth was the driver of an
automobile which was wrecked on the
lower road near Athletic Park May 8,

jured so severely that they were taken
to the Mary Fletcher hospital, Ladd' s
collarbone being broken Forth escaped
with slight injuries. When questioned as
to the cause of the accident he told a
yarn about being struck by a REQ car
but his story didn't fit/the circumstances
as his car was smashed up in a way
which spoiled any theory of collision.
Bottles of lemon extract were found and
Forth was locked up on n charge of in
toxication. To this he pleaded guilty in
court The court let it be known that. in
his opinion, driving an automobile when
intoxicated was a serious offensc and
intimated that in the future violators OF
the law in this respect would be dealt
with severely.
