 upon the payment of the court costs. l, He was arrested by a member of the state police following his own report of an accident in which he figured some time ago: He drove his auto mobile into the state fence along the New Britain road. and although aware of the fact that he had no license. he reported the fact to the state authori- ties. An investigation led to his arrest but because of the mans honesty in reporting the accident. clemency was asked and granted. Grand Juror William Foran handled the states case against NWisk and recommended that the fine and costs be imposed with an amendment that the fine be remitted in the case. Justice Gun ningham followed the prosecutors recommendations.
