Counsel-We withdraw our
motion for a new trial, if the
court please. Because Of your
honor's rulings, we believe that
we had a fair trial before the
jury. We acknowledge this,
and ask the mercy Of the
court
The Court IT he court is
familiar with, all the facts in the
case. The testimony shows the
defendant was driving at AZ
miles an hour around a corner.
The court takes judicial notice OF
the bad conditions there-three
schools in the immediate vicinity
Of the wreck. The defendant
car ran so feet before he could
bring it to a stop-at less than
80 feet from the door Of one Of
those schools.
The most accurate testimony
as to the time of the collision is
given by Mr.. Browning, a member
of the bar Of the District. He
places it between 900 and SOS
a. m. The officer in the case
testified that he was stationed
there to- look out for the large
numbeRf of children passing that
corner at school time.
This is one of the worst cases
of reckless driving that ever came
before this court. In many cases
not half as bad as this, fines of
$3.50 have been imposed. Three
hundred dollars or ninety days.
After Adjournment.
Post Man-Did you know that
efforts were being made to have
Gillan's permit revoked?
Alihi Man-No. Hadn't heard
OF it. Who's making the efforts:
1.-THE corporation counsel thinks
a man like that shouldn't be al.
lowed to drive in the streets OF
this city where so many people
are being killed by reckless drivers
But he can't do anything about
it himself. Procedure must orig.
mate in the police department"
"What'n the police department
do, do you think?'' @s.e
"Oh, they'll follow the regular
course, I guess"
What's that?'' -
THE next few days will tell"
