DRUNKEN DRIVING
COUSIN TO MURDER
Prosecutor Condemns Practice,
New Haven Man Fined $500

Drunken driving Is first cousin
to murder and no mercy should be
shown those who come into this
court and are proven guilty.
Prosecuting Attorney J. G. Woods
declared In police court this morn
ing in an imprisoned plea for q
Jail sentence and substantial fine
in the case OF Robert c. Wilson,
aged 81, OF Sc Clark street, New
Haven, who was arrested on June
80 on Main street, by Officer H. c.
Lyon. Wilson pleaded not guilty
and was represented by Attorney
Isreal Nair Judge Morris D. Sake
made a finding of guilty and i'm
posed a fine Of 800 and a suspend
ed jail sentence of 80 days remarking
that he was moved to give consid-
Grafton to the fact that it was Will
sons first offense and also that he
contributes to the support Of his
widowed mother.
Officer Lyon testified that he saw
Wilson trying to turn an automo-
bile around on Main street near
Myrtle, about 1880 a. m, and he
noticed that the car struck two
curbstones and the driver seemed
''wobbly." Approaching the car. he
asked Wilson what he was about
and Wilson asked him the location
Of Stanley street, The officer or

had him walk about Is feet across
the street. He staggered, the officer
said.
Detective Sergeant w. P. McCue
testified that Officer Lyon brought
Wilson to the detective bureau and
he noticed at once that the man had
been drinking, His speech was in
coherent and rambling, the sergeant
said. 1t was impossible to smell
anything from his breath excepting
candy which he was eating. but as
he walked out OF the room he stag
gered and later as he walked down
the corridor his unsteadiness was
apparent, the sergeant said.
Officer Lyon was recalled and
testified that as he was talking to
Wilson before bringing him to the
police station, the latter attempted
to put candy in his mouth but the
officer stopped him, as he believed
the purpose was to disguise the odor
OF liquor. AS they entered the po-
lice station, however, Wilson sue
ceeded in putting something into his
mouth.
Wilson testified that he Is district
manager for an underwear concern
and had not driven an automobile
for about seven years, until June %.
when he registered 1924 used car
he had purchased. and obtained a

Still TRYING TO
FILL JURY Panel
Seven in Edl Case Had Been
Selected This Morning

New Haven. July 7.-R-With
seven jurors in. the Jury box, the
work Of selecting the other five
members of the jury which will hear
the testimony in the trial Of Fred
w. Edel, charged with the murder
OF John Mastriano, continued in
superior court before Judge Edwin
c. Dickinson here today.
The seven already accepted by
both prosecution and defense were
picked yesterday from II veniremen
examined. When court adjourned
late yesterday afternoon the state
and defense had each exercised sew
en- OF the rs challenges allowed each
by law.
Will Show Abb
During the questioning Of the
veniremen Edel sat at the counsel
table, occasionally comforting with
his lawyers, but for the most part
he showed little interest In the pro-
ceedings. His attorneys have said
that his defense will be an Alibi.
Since his arrest on December "a,
1926, the day after Mastriano's body
was found in q lonely section Of
Carmel, Edel has maintained his in
nocence and has said little beyond
claiming he knows nothing OF the
circumstances connected with the
Staying of Mastriano. Authorities
claim that Mastriano was killed on
December 10. After Eders arrest it
was esta blished that Edel was play
ing cards with Mastriano in Meriden
where both men lived, the night
before Mastriano met his death.
Police declared that the latter had
been robbed OF more than 800 and
they expressed belief that he had
been murdered for his money. Five
OF the seven jurors selected yester-
day were examined during the after
noon. The seven already in the box
are: Fred NJ. Smith. 81. Milford,
farmer and assessor; I. Edward
