Robert Hird Submits Statement
 Through Representative
FAIL TO FIND BOOK ERROR
Ministers Alliance Holds Meeting ~- Epworth Social Tonight - John
 Saunders Victim of Shock-Forest-
 vile Itcms-Other News.

Representing Robert N Hird of Maple street, former bookkeeper at the Plainville Trust company, Attor- ney Joseph M. Donovan of Bristol, has sent in a signed statement to the effect that MT. Hird had volunteered through him to assist in looking m the discrepancy at the bank but was never asked to do so. He also asserts that MT. Hird, accompanied by State Police Captain Robert Hurley and himself, had spent two afternoons checking up the accounts and failed to locate the reputed error. The statement submitted by Attorney Donovan is as follows:
 II have just read the article in VOLT edition of yesterday, authorized and in part quoted by Senator John H. Trumbull, president of the PIainviIIe Trust company, regarding the short age existing at that bank, and espe- claliy his reference to Robert N. Hird, the former bookkeeper, who is a client of mine, and has been through, out the period since he severed con- nection with the bank, December 13 1920.
 MT. Trumbulls signed statement is undoubtedly the truth, and as in all such cases, when one error is found rumors easily spread. I have dis cussed this matter with bank officials, with the bank commissioner, and with tho state police, and have no reason to doubt President TrumbulI's statement that this shortage is the only one, and further, and here is an important statement so far as my

marker. The driver of the ma chine did not stop and continued on his way to Hartford. They were caught later. however, by Colonel Herbert Johnson and Joseph Lamb who passed by the wreck a few minutes after it happened. They immedi- ately phoned for Charles F. Lewis to come upon the scene and the three men then followed the automo- bile, overtaking it near the Good rich estate, where Prosecutor Lewis made the arrest.
 The four men in the car, foreigners, have been ordered to appear in the Town court tonight where their cases will be heard at 7:30 o'clock. No one was present at the time of the accident, although several people were on the scene a few minutes afterwards. 1t is assumed that the heapy fog which prevailed at the time hid the view of the wagon from the men. Still others who were upon the scene later stated that the four men appeared to be under the in- fiuence Of liquor and due to the fog and dampness of the cement pave ment were not able to handle the machine. The mishap occurred sometime between 7:3o and S:3O o'clock.
 Odler Accidents At Same Time
 Three other accidents along this same stretch of roadway were re- ported at about the same hour. A Stutz touring car containing two couples from New Haven and driven by Louis Osterweis of the Elm city was ditched from the roadway and ran into the mud. also scraping the fence of the William Webster prop erty. This was about 15O feet from the place of the first accident. z The name of the second man in the | party could not be aScertained al- | though he said he had formerly | worked for William Moran in New | Britain and knew John Connolly of | Berlin. MT. Connolly however did not l know his name. This wreck happened !,
New Britain herald., 1921-03-09

! about fifteen minutes following the l first one and the car, which was a | make of the latest model was badly damaged. After a half hours work
 the auto was finally pulled out of the mud and was able to proceed on it's way.
 Burton North Helps Still another car was sideswiped l into the. shoulders of the road by a passing machne between the North 1 and Mott estates. Burton North who was on the scene a short while after. ! brought a large rope and by asking
 the assistance of a passing autoist the unfortunates were able to continue on their way.
 While Constable M. A. Austin was coming upon the first scene, after having been called, he came across a machine near the railroad crossing at the Brick company, which had one wheel off, The occupants of the car were not around at the time and nothing further in regards to it could be ascertained.
 There was a rumor about the town this morning that the same car which ran into Mrs. Mickels was responsible for pushing the other autos off of the road. It was later said that with the heavy fog of last evening, which had been the worst seen here in some time. and the slippery pavements several accidents along the turnpike were liable to happen.
