\ decision favorable to Mrs May, Ril- Fan. of Elmville, have been handed down by Judge Maltbie of the superior court el the cases of Peter Holden and Jak EAs1ezuk vs May Killian and in the case Hf May Killian Pat "r-'1-n
 These cases tried tn Wllltmantie recen| E were the ou.eIV.,. Uo.ision at Dzyville on Christmas night, 191s.; be- tween cars owned by Mir. Holden and Rillian. Counter suits for damages were brought
 Jennings Killizn of Worcester, son of Mrs Killian, son of Mrs. Killian, was driving the Killlan car. while Hoiden was ln charge of the other machine. MT. Holden Is engaged in business in Daniel son Excerpts from Judge Maltbie's decision in passing upon the cases are as follows :. The evidence in these cases fairly pre- pouderstes, I think in favor of the Kill han car. Of the two eye witnesses aside fro mthe parties tattach little weight to the testimony of LHomnle. While I think that of Gauthier is wholly honest in in tent, it bears to be indications o< con- structive imagination for instance his deld of vision in the direction from which tie Holden car was coming was extremely limited by reason of the building on the corner, yet he attempts to tell in some measure the course of the Holden car be- fore the accident, and to describe the ac- cident itself; for him to have seen 1t 1t must have occurred, as. in fact, he says ,t did, almost upon the very corner; and the course of the Hoiden car was as Holden claims it was, do not see how the sars could have to rest at the spo. where .here is substantial agreement they finally were. And I attach considerable weight 10 Kilday's testimony as to the tracks Even upon the spoken testimony, the bal Gnce favors the Killian car.
 And, instead of the position of the car: after the accident corro5 rating Holden think it corrooorates Eillian i
 The only claims Of damage by Mrs Killan are the cost of repairing the cal and the loss of it's use. and, as to the later, no evidence was offered. This would tx her actual damage at sl5S, with inte- rest from the day the bill was paid total Of sl7222 She asks to hay, these damages doubled or trebled but an doubtful whether Holden was undel the influence Of liquor. and I cannot fnt that he was wantonly CT so grossly neg iigent as to make 1t just to give enhanced damages.
 Let judgment enter for the defendant il Nos. 3o53 and 3054, and for the plaintiff 70 recover S172.22 in No. 8t01.
