LIQUOR ON HOLIDAY AUTOMOBILE
PARTIES PROVES COSTLY TO Three
RESPONDENTS MUNICIPAL COURT

controvert the testimony of the
States witnesses and did not go onto
the stand. Following the finding by
the court, Attorney Raymond Rogers
of Waterville arrived to arrange the
mans bonds for appearance in the
upper court in September
Readfe1d Man Guilty
Harry c. Mills of Readfeld was
found guilty on charge of operating
an automobile while intoxicated, but
the court was convinced that the case
was not a fragrant one and pronounced
the minimum penalty of fine OF SlUo
and costs of $50 additional, which was
paid. Attorney NJ. Z. Sawtelle repre-
scented Mr. Mills.
Lieutenant Sidney NJ. Frost of the
State highway police was the com
plainant and the only States witness
in this case, and testified that he ar
rested Mills at the John Wyman farm
on the Belgrade road Sunday evening
after he had passed Mills, who was
operating his car in the center OF the
highway and was crowded out into the
ditch as Mills attempted to pass. The
highway police inspector turned his
machine and gave chase to Mills, fol-
lowing him into the dooryard OF the
Wyman farm. The man had been
drinking and admitted having had two
glasses of cider. A gallon jug of cider
was found in the Mills car by the off,
Ger.
Testimony was introduced as to the
general good character of the respon-
dent and the court after finding the
man guilty on the charge preferred
announced that the minimum sentence
for such violation would be executed.
Operating without License
Edgar Bolduc of the National Home
pleaded guilty to a charge of operat
ing a motor vehicle without a license

or to serve 80 days in Jail. This case

Judge Robert A. Cony presided at
a busy session Of the Augusta mu-
Eicipal court on Tuesday, there be-
ing several cases resulting from the
activities of the State Highway po-
lice and deputy sheriffs over the
week end and holiday. There were
also three cases for intoxication, the
respondents FORGETTING their cash bail
instead of facing arraignment.
Probable cause for holding Mar
jorique MERCER of Waterville on a
charge of operating an automobile
while he was under the influence Of
intoxicating liquor was found by the
court after hearing. and the Water
vile man furnished $500 bail for his
appearance at the September term of
superior court.
This case was on complaint Of
Lieutenant Joseph f. Young, Jr., of
the State Highway Police, who testi-
fed to being called to the scene of
an accident on the Weber Pond road
in Vassalboro at about $50 Monday
evening. The officer found the Chew
rolet car, which it was alleged Mer-
cier had been operating, wrecked
against a tree on the property of Ira
Robbins. Officer Young declared that
the three adults In the party had
been drinking. There were also two
children in the car, a boy and a girl,
and both had suffered cuts and
bruises as a result of the crash.
A half pint bottle of alcohol was
found near the point where the pas
sengers of the wrecked automobile
were, and it was reported to the Of
ficers that Mrs. Mercier had dropped
the liquor there after the accident.
Ira Robbins, in front of whose
house the MERCER car was wrecked,
testified to hearing the crash and go
ing out with a lighted lantern to in
vestigate, and after noting the con-
dition in which the members of the
party were in he had telephoned to
the Augusta Police headquarters for
an officer.
Ralph w. Walker of r. F. D. 1, this
city, told the court that he had been
driving his automobile along the
Weber Pond road and was well over
on the right side when the Chevrolet.
operated by MERCER. struck his car
in passing and then was wrecked
against the tree just beyond.
Patrolman Perley Stevens of the
Augusta police corroborated the tes-
timony of Lieut.. Young, and also de-
clared that MERCER showed evidence
OF having been drinking intoxicating
liquor.

the automobile which it was alleged
Bolduc was operating and car driven
by Ralph Shaw.
The respondent told the court that
he was operating the car at the difec-
ton of the owner, who was passen-
ger with two other men, but as the
statute provides that only those re-
ceiving instruction may operate an
automobile without license, the cour'
pronounced sentence as noted.
1t was in connection with the Boldue
case that charges of intoxication hao
been preferred against the three mer
who were passengers in the automo'
bile. These three had deposited cash
bail for their appearance at municipal
court Tuesday morning, but upon theii
failure to appear for hearings the bal
was declared forfeited.
