MAGISTRATE RULING
IN.CASE SET ASIDE
HIGHER Court Voids Assessment OF
Costs on D. G. Motorist Who
Was Not Fined.

The action of Justice of the Peace
xyilkerson at Waldorf, Md. in assess
ing court costs against a washington
nootorist in a traffic case in Whlcn
no fine was imposed was overruled
by Judge Digges Of the Circuit Court
of Charles County at La Plata yester-
day. who directed that the COSTS
amounting to $3.05, be returned TO the
driver.
The motorist. Edward K. Webb OF
1922 Ingleside Terrace, had been as
sessed the costs of reckless driving
charge. When Attorney Charles =.
Collins Of the American Automobile
Association inquired into the case he
obtained from the justice of the peace
a certified record Of the case, which
showed Webb had been found not
guilty. Justice Wilkerson denied this
in his answer. saying that the state
ment was a mistake.
The contention of Attorney Collins
was that the justice of the peace had
no right to assess costs unless fine
Of at least Is cents had been imposed.
The records of the case showed no
fine had been imposed.
The decision at La Plata was vic
tory for the American Automobile As
sociation. which is making a Nation
wide effort to safeguard the legal
rights of motorists on the roads.

Park; taunting Jimmy Mills, when he
accused her of the fact that she was
neglecting her home for her church
work, by stating boldly that she cared
more for DR.. Halls little finger than
for all her husbands body; torment
ing Nina Clark with the power and
the glory that had come to her with
the rector's favor, a reckless figure,

girl who yet counted herself the
proudest and most fortunate of wom-

a handful Of valentines and Christ
mas cards, prayer for her recovery

Perhaps she, who was grateful for
so little, would have been grateful
for that last and mightiest gift as
well, because the one thing that
remains sure in all this shaken
world of theories is that Eleanor
loved him and would have thought
that anything that he brought to her
was beautiful, even death.
