THREE CHARGES AGAINST
HERSMAN AFTER CRASH
Fines Total S106 With Costs of
Trial Following Collision Sun
day Night on Oak Street.

Following collision Sunday night
about eleven o'clock between a Chew
rolet coupe and an Oldsmobile coupe
at the corner of Sixth and Oak streets
in Oakland, Earl Hersman, of near
Deer Park, youth of about nineteen,
driver of the Chevrolet, was arrested
and placed in Jail on three charges,
namely, reckless driving, operating a
motor vehicle while under the infu-
ence of liquor and of carrying con-
cealed weapons. The arrest was made
by Deputy Thomas Seymour.
Monday morning Hersman was
given a hearing before Justice W. A.
Gender and was fined 81 and costs
on the first charge, $500 and costs on
the second and S. and costs on the
third. In default of payment of the
fine and costs he was remanded to jail
but later in the day the fines were
paid and he was released.
Ross Shaffer, Rowlesburg, W. Va,
driver of the Oldsmobile car, testified
that he was returning to his home
from Keyser and at the point on Oak
street where the collision occurred,
the Chevrolet car, which had been
parked on the same street, suddenly
turned out into the street from the
curb and being so near collision was
unavoidable.
Hersman was seen to take sack
from the rear of the car he was driv-
ing and disappeared up Sixth street
toward an alley. Deputy Sheriff Sey-
mour arrived about the same time ana
the youth, it is said, attempted to use
steel knuckles on the officer to avoid
being arrested. He was captured, how
ever, and taken to Jail. Upon the re-
turn Of Officer Seymour he found two
bottles of what was alleged to have
been home brew and which Hersman
had failed to destroy. These bottles
and their contents were used as evil
dence at the trial on Monday.
The car driven by Hersman is said
to have been the property of John
Browning, of near Thayerville.
The occupants of the Oldsmobile,
Mr.. and Mrs. Shaffer, of Rowlesburg,
and Miss Melissa Shultz, of Keyser,
w. Va, were unhurt
