Ordered to
COURT IMPOSES
FINE OF $40

Belief that the two officers who
called 20 him TO stop" while he
was driving along a lonely section Of
the causcway late last Tuesday night
were hold-up men Is the reason given
by Elwood Jester for swerving from
the right side OF the road toward the
officers and then refusing 20 stop.
Jester was on trial before Judge
Lynn in Municipal Court this morn
ing on a charge Of violating the traf-
fic rules. and fine OF $40 and costs
was imposed on him.
Officer Rodenheiser said that when
ne and another officer started to-
ward the automobile driven by Jes-
ter. parked along the causeway, TO
stop his and another mans alleged
disorderly conduct. Jester started the
machine. swerving toward him and
forcing him TO leap from the road to
save himself from being run down.
Jester said that he did not recog-
nize the officers but believed that
they were hold-up men.

for Jester. said that law is not
