Judgment was suspended by Judge
Nj. u. Sake in police court today in
the case of Theodore G. Vessels,
aged 81. OF So Winthrop street, who
pleaded guilty to the charge of vio-
lation Of the rules of the road, after

behalf. Vessels had arranged 10
settle for the damage caused. Wis.,
chek said, and he felt 1t would De
a lesson to him to be more careful
in handling a car.
Officer Axel Carlson testified that
Vessels was driving south on Park
street behind trolley car, which
stopped near the corner of Maple
street. Instead Of stopping, Vessels
pulled to the left to pass the trolley
car. and the result was head-c
collision with Nischek's ear. which
had swung from Maple street into
Park street on left turn. The cars
were badly damaged.
Judge SAKE asked Assistant Prose-
cutting Attorney w. NJ Greenstein
what his attitude was, after Wischek
had spoken for Vessels. do yUu
think there was any element OF
reclSlessness," the court inquired
and Mr.. Greenstein replied mega
lively, adding that he would have
charged reckless driving had he felt
tie circumstances justified it. 1T
was plainly evident, he said. that
Vessels had violated the rules Of
the road when he pulled to the left.
