for similar offense and that they
have an appeal befores the Superior

Leon Hanberg of New York failed
to appear to answer the charge of
reckless driving and his bond of $50
was declared forfeited. His case was
the result of his arrest after he had
struck a REQ truck while rounding
a corner at a fast rate of speed.
John Odensky drove the car struck
an auto belonging to A. A. Green
berg near the old fair grounds Tues
day night and forced Greenberg' s
car through the fence on the left of
the road.
He was fined $40 for driving with
out a license and $40 on the charge
of reckless driving.
Greenberg testified that he was
going toward Mcriden and that the
car driven by Odensky was coming
toward New Britain and when it was
nearly opposite his car it suddenly
swerved to the left side Of the road
and through the fence.
Although the owner of the car
claims that the car was taken without
his permission this phase of the
case was not taken up at all. Judge
Iriswold said today that he believed
that it would probably come up al
l later date although he could mol
definitely say.
