Walter J. Nodene, aged 50, Of 56S
 Stanley street, charged in police court today with operating an auto- mobile while under the influence of
 liquor, was given a chance by Judge i Roche to have his defense story cor roborated, but he did not choose to | avail himself of the offer and was found guilty. A suspended jail sen-
 tenco of 10 days and a fine of s10O ! and costs was the penalty.
 Officer Daniel Cosgrove testified
 that as he was patrolling Stanley
 street about 1O:35 last evening, he
 saw a car parked at an angle op- posite Whiting street with the front | bumper hooked under the rear fender of car in front of 1t. Nodene was behind the wheel and the off i Ger asked him if it was his car.

Observing that i he was under the influence of liquor { the officer arrested him. Officer Peter Cabelus testified that he saw 1 Officer Cosgrove bringing Nodene to

 had three glasses of strong wine. which, with the heat of the house, i overcame him to such q degree that ] he realized he could not drive. He asked two young men to drive the
 car home If they were licensed op-
 orators. and when the officer called l his attention to the way his car was parked, he was surprised. Someone
 must have moved it, he said, as he
 had parked 1t correctly.
 Judge Roche asked Nodene wheth- CT or not he could have the friend who gave him the wine in court to
 testify 10 his condition at the time he went into the house. Nodene re- piled thet he did not wish to in- volve anyone else in his trouble and
 he wanted to know from Judge l Roche what bearing additional testi-
 mony would have on the case. Judge Roche replied that he simply wished to give him every opportunity to prove the contention that he had not
