ing. Lieutenant Matthias Rival. however, testified that eWarne was intoxicated and unfit to drive when brought before him at police head quarters.
 Judge Mangan argued that wheel and in view of the testimony of the two defense witnesses, ne was certainly entitled to discharge because of reasonable doubt, but Attorney Greenstein pointed out that although Lieutenant Rival pro- nounced Wearne intoxicated, the defense witnesses disagreed, and he would take the lieutenant's word against theirs under all circum- stances. If they were wrong in, that respect, they were probably wrong in the rest of theif testimony, whereS ] as Officer Mccarthy, who has known Wearne for some time, was positive the latter was driving.
