on Winter street and had he known his truck had caused damage 10 the sedan as he was backing up he would have stopped at once He was surprised when the officer called him and told him Of the collision. His truck makes considerable noise which probably prevented him from hearing the noise Of the impact, he said. It has a steel body and there are two chains dangling off the tailboard, contributing to the racket. Attorney Greonberg contended that the entire question dNindles town to the testimony of Audi and that of the officer. The state is re- Quircd under the statute 10 show that Audi was aware that his truck lad caused damage 10 the sedan. and this has not been proven. Had there been q hard crash the sedan would have been forced down the street and damaged more severely than two dents, There is reasonable doubt, he attorney contended, and Audi is entitled to it's benefit.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods re rlicd that physical facts always ap- peal 10 the court and in this case the officer has testified that there IS a s'r@et light at the place where the collision occurred, whereas Audi maintained that it was dark. There is no question but that the impact was sufficient 10 warn Audi that there had been a collision.
 Judge Roche said he felt there "as reasonable doubt as to Audi's guilt The officer testified that there was a loud crash and Me Inerncy said it was slight.
 McInorney claimed his hearing was good and he was nearby when the accident occurred. The statute provides that proof must be made that drivers "knowingly' cause dam age, and all things considered, this proof was lacking, in the opinion of the court.
 Dispute Over Raid Evidence Edward Hosltz. aged 35. of POS Arch street, pleaded rot guilty to the charge of violation of the liquor
 law and was represented by Attorney Stanley J. TraCeski. who brought 'he trial to an abrupt ending when

 assured by the prosecuting attorney that mention of these beverages would not be made. as they had not
