Respondent Pilotte
Discharged in Case
at Municipal Court

Court Finds Reasonable Doubt 40 to
Mans Guilt on Charge of Reckless
Driving Of Automobile, Sunday,
April 8, on Outer Western Avenue
Testimony Offered at Hearing
Saturday, Continued from Last
Week
The case against Joseph Pilotte Of
Waterville which was continued from
last week. was concluded Saturday
before Judge Cony at the Municipal
court. Judge Cony felt that there
was q reasonable doubt as to Pilotte's
guilt on the charge of reckless driv-
ing of a motor vehicle and Pilotte
WAS dicharged.
This case is a result OF an accident
which occurred Sunday, April s, on
the Winthrop road at the curve near
bio Whitman farm. The car belong
tng to Pilotte was turned over in the
ditch at that point and State Motor
cyclic Policeman Earl Grenier, who
was at the Winthrop end Of the road,
/ hearing OF II, investigated. with the
result that he brought Pilotte before
the court on a charge Of reckless
operation OF an auto. The case was
continued at that time to provide
] more evidence.
r Grenier testified that he had seen
the occupants Of the car shortly af-
ter the accident and that Pilotte had
apparently been under the influence
Of liquor. He was corroborated by
one OF the men who live in that
neighborhood.
Pilotte testified that he is a wild
over. with two children in a con-
vent at Lewiston. and that he had
been on his way to visit them wher
the trouble occurred. He said that
a tire blew out just as he was
rounding the curve. ana caused the
car to swerve into the ditch. Wher
asked II he had been drinking hi
said that he had bought three glasses
OF "Uno" beer, at confectionery
store. paying ten cents q glass. Apar
from that. he had nothing to drink
He had gone to church at 1880
about two hours after taking thu
drinks.
In the afternoon, he had left Wa.
tcrville in company with his sister
, in-iaw. Miss Alice Rancourt, Mis-.
Julliette Matthew and gentleman
friend. to go to Lewiston to see hi.
children. AS to being under the in
ruence OF liquor, Pilotte thought tina
IL was sufficient proof on this matter
that he had been able to navigate
the mud holes on the East side Of
the river between this city and Wa.
terville.
The ladies' who were with him OF
the trip were present in the court
room and they testified to substan-
, TALLY the same, saying that they
had neither seen or heard Of any
liquor while on the trip.
Pilotte told very straight
ward story. and his honesty impress
cd the court very .favorably. Judge
Cony did not feel that there was evi.
I dcnce enough to prove the man un-
der the influence OF liquor and sc
he was discharged.

Landed Fine Trout
But Threw 1t AWAY

He caught trout that weighed a
pound and half.
He might have been very proud
man. But he wasn't.
He didn't even keep the fish.
The real facts in this strange pis-
catorial narrative came into the
Journal office from Lake Cobbossee-
contee. An ardent fisherman-he
must have been ardent or he would
not have braved the tempestuous
weather OF last week to pull a boat
all over the turbulent waters of Cob
bossee--he was well equipped with
gear and to show his independence he
''rowed all alone" like young Loeb
invar who came OUT Of the West; the
only difference Is in the spelling Of
the "rowed'
All day he pulled on the oars with
his line trailing behind. He fought
white crested waves and heavy
winds, got hungry and tired and had
never n nibble. SO far as he knew.
Then he stopped. He rowed for
shore and rs he reeled in he found on
the end of his line a trout-a good
trout weighing a pound and half.
"Well. howinblazes did that get
there?" he yelled and almost tipped
over the boat.
Nice looking trout" remarked
man in n boat nearby.
Sure" said the first, "but I didn't
know it was there. Here I've been
rowing and cussing all day because
dragged this fish all over Lake Cob
bosseecontee."
"Going to keep him. amt you?" re-
marked the nearby man.
mot on your life" snapped the
other THAT fish has been dead for
hours. Died on the hook. Nothing
doing"
He took of the trout, gave 1t
heave and with never another word
packed his gear and went home.

But it is not alone in the quality of

cells. Important refinements added
during the last few years have made
for increased comfort. and you Will
notice that comfort stands second on
the n. A. G. c. list. AS for the pur-
chase price, Dodge Brothers proved by
comparative charts that their price was
fair even before the reduction. No
body can deny that it is an exceptional
value now.
'Particular attention has been given
by Dodge Brothers to every feature
which will enhance the refined and
substantial appearance Of the ear. To
give only one illustration. the improved
sedan, with its disc wheels, cord tires,
and the latest custom windows, brings
credit to the taste and judgment Of
every owner. On the score of econ
omy and service. which 8 per cent of
owners demand, it is only necessary to
cite the Dodge Brothers cars long and
consistent reputation for low gasoline
consumption, high tire mileage and
freedom from the necessity Of repairs.

built on 121 and 127-inch wheelbase,
respectively, and the four-cylinder cars
are on 112-inch wheelbase.
Two outstanding features Of the
cars in the new Nash line are their
electrical equipment, their new and
handsome bodies and their new spring
suspension.
Adoption of Delco electrical system
means thoroughly reliable ignition, as
well as certain and easy starting. The
new Nash springs are revolutionary
in contrast to former spring construc-
tion. This spring consists Of long,
thin leaves with rebound plate. the
arc of which is opposite that Of the
leaves. In going over bumps or rough
roads the rebound plate, acting as a
snubber. checks the recoil, the shock
is absorbed and the car rides smoothly,
holding the road under perfect con-
troll. This results in a very consid-

and even luxurious driving. 1t is fitted
with soft, easy riding springs and snub-

The fact that the majority Of auto.

endurance as the most important fac
tor in the choice of car is not sur
prising in George D. Prentice, Dodge
Brothers dealer. He was commenting
on the survey just completed by the
National Automo obile Chamber Of Com
merce, which shows that endurance
ranks first among 10000 car owners to
whom the questionable was sent with
comfort second and price third.
In the middle price group, which
takes in the range from $500 to $4,000,
IS per cent Of the total agree on en-
durance as the first essential, II per
cent mention comfort first, and 10 per
cent admit that they give first thought
to the purchase price. Following is
the complete list of preferences as dis
