Prospect street pleaded not guilty TO
charges of reckless driving and vio-
lation of the rules of the road.
He was represented by Attorney
David L. Dunn. Officer Otis Hop
kins arrested Fuel following a COL
lision between Fuell's car and car
driven by William Robinson of 81
Franklin Square.
The officer testified that Fuel
was driving east on Hart street
about o'clock last night and Rob-
inson was driving west. Fuel was
on the wrong side of the road and
Robinson could not avoid the col
lision. Both cars were going slowly.
Robinson testified that Officer
Hopkins questioned Fuel as to
whether or not he had been drink
ing. Fuel denied having had any
thing to drink, yet he staggered,
Robinson said, and on the way to
the police station Fuel chewed gum.
There was an odor of drink from his
breath, Robinson said, but the Off
Ger in charge at headquarters did
not consider him intoxicated and so
he was not charged with driving
while under the influence of liquor.
Miss Esther Freberg of 17S Hart
street, who was riding with Robin
son, testified that Fuelps car was on
the wrong side of the road.

Fuel testified that he turned into
Hart street from the first street
west of the entrance to Walnut Hill
park, and, seeing Robinson's car ap-
preaching, he pulled to the left 10
allow the latter room to pass. He
doubted that he drove 500 feet on
the wrong side.
Attorney Dunn contended that,
although Fuel did not use good
judgment in driving along the
wrong side Of the road. there was
no evidence of reckless driving.
Many drivers pull to the left after
turning a corner, If other cars are
approaching. 1t is not good prac-
tice, yet it is done, the attorney said.
Relative to Robinson's testimony
concerning Fuells condition, Attor-
ney Dunn said there's absolutely no
question that Fuel had not been
drinking, and several who examined
him after his arrest agreed that he
was not intoxicated. Robinson was
very vindictive last night after the
accident and again this morning. the
attorney said, and he asked Judge
Alling not TO allow that testimony to
influence his decision in the case.
Judge Alling remarked that the
accident could not have happened as
Fuel claimed and as the officer
testified. He found Fuel guilty of
violation of the rules of the. road
and fined him SIS and costs, sus-
pending judgment on the other
charge.
