Law COURT FINDS
AGAINST AUBURN
MAN IN RESCRIPT

The motion of the defendant was
overruled by the law court in a re-
script handed down by Justice Deasy
in the Androscoggin county case of
Arthur Gravel, administrator, VS..
George f. Roberge, which resulted
from an automobile accident in which
a little girl was walking on cross
walk at the intersection of Second and
Broad streets, Auburn, was killed by
the automobile of the defendant. 1t
was declared in the rescript that in
finding that the child's death was due
to the defendants negligence the jury
made no manifest error.
The reseript reads as follows:
Action against a motorist for negli-
gence in running into and causing the
death of a little girl who was walking
on the crossing at the junction of Sec
ond and Broad streets, Auburn.
The defendant invoked the sudden
emergency doctrine.
The fact that the defendant with
his car entered the left-hand side of
Second street does not prove negli-
eence. The statutory rule, command
ing a turning to the right, applies
only where one vehicle is approaching
to meet" another Act of 1921, Chap.
211, Sec. .. But he who at any time
drives upon the left-hand side of a
street should be increasingly watch
full.
The sudden emergency doctrine is
not an exception to the general rule
The test question is whether the
defendant acted as an ordinarily pru-
dent and careful man would have
done under the same circumstances.
The emergency is one of the c1rcum.
stances. contemplated by the rule. II
the defendants course was one thar
an ordinarily prudent and careful driv-
err put in his place, might have taken.
he is relieved from liability; otherwise
not. His own judgment or impulse is
not in any situat ton, amergent or oth-
erwise, the laws criterion. The driver
Is exonerated lie the course which he
takes in an emergency is one which
might fairly be chosen by an lntelh-
gent and prudent person"
In finding that the child's death was
due to the defendants negligence the
Jury made no manifest error.
Motion overruled.

Frost Does Damage

A frost Tuesday morning did con-
siderable damage in places, especially
to the smaller vegetables, but did lit
tie If any damage to the corn; and
while people generally were expecting
a more severe frost Wednesday morn
ing and prepared for it, the corn again
escaped while the smaller things were
again touched. Wednesday night and
Thursay's rain brought warmer
weather and really saved the situation.
The packing of the corn crop is now
we'll in hand, all factories working and
most of them working overtime to take
care of the crop quickly before there
is a killing frost. Another week and
it will be out of danger. Farmers are
now digging their potatoes. and find
little sign of rust or scabs. the quality
being rather above the average, and
the quantity not as large to the acre
as in some years. but above the aver
age, so that all things considered the
crop is called very good.
