DRIVER DRUNK,
GETS 80 DAYS
Keasbey Mans License Also
Revoked Following Acct
dent at South River

SOU RIVER, Dec. 81. - Steve
Waigo, of Keasbey, is CRYING a
thtrty-day sentence in the county
workhouse and had his auto
mobile drivers license revoked by
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Dill
as the result of an accident here
yesterday afternoon. DR.. Evans Sell
over, who was called to examine
Waigo, said the man was under the
Influence of liquor.
The accident resulted in Vincent
Petrie, brother of Borough Clerk
John Petrie, receiving two broken
ribs and the rear end of the light
truck in which he was sitting at the
time being considerably damaged.
The front of the sedan which Wal
go was driving also was badly dam
aged.
According to the account of the
accident told Recorder Van Norden
by Petrie, he was sitting at the
wheel of his truck and his son was
sitting in the rear of the truck when
the sedan driven by Waigo was seen
approaching by young Petrie. The
Petrie truck was in front of the
home of Wilbur Rose in Main street,
standing close to the curb, waiting
for Rose to come out of the house.
Young Petrie told the police he
saw the approaching car swerving
from one side of the road to the
other and suddenly it headed
straight for the truck. He jumped
and shouted to his father to do
likewise. The elder Petrie tried to
get out of the truck but the sedan
had crashed into it before he could
extricate himself from behind the
wheel. The force of the impact
threw the father forward into the
wheel, breaking two ribs.
The injured mar was removed to
his home in Roosevelt street and
given attention by a physician who
set the broken ribs. Waigo was ar
rested and taken before Recorder
Van Norden for a hearing. Fol-
the testimony Of DR. Se1over
and the Petries, Commissioner Dill
was communicated with and he or
dered that Waigo's license be per-
manently revoked. A thirty day
sentence in the workhouse was add
ed to this by the recorder.

We are constantly hearing these

claiming they can get booze and
know where it is made and sold. We
wonder if they realize in so doing
they are declaring to the world that
they are in the "near criminal class,
if this knowledge is not disclosed to
the proper law enforcement officers.
