! JUDGE CONY FINDS
BENIN NOT GUILTY OF
RECKLESS DRIVING AUTO

Not guilty was the verdict rendered
by Judge Robert A. Cony at the mu-
nicipal court on Saturday in the case
against Bernard Benn of Augusta,
charged with operating an automobile
in reckless manner and at an excess
sive rate of speed. This was the con-
clusion of the hearing which was
opened at the court last Tuesday at
which time the testimony in the case
was introduced.
Judge Cony in announcing his de-
cision remarked that the circum-
stances in the case were such that he
had definite impression that the
young man was driving faster than
he ought, but there was a lack Of
positive affirmative proof on the part
of the State that would show beyond a
reasonable doubt that the car was be-
ing driven by Benin in the manner al
legged.
