Protest Change of Charge

The liveliest court session in sev- eral weeks was held last night in the upstairs room of the town hall before an audience that packed the court. Five cases came before Judge George G. Griswold and Pros- ecutor Charles F. Lewis.
 Frank Kieffer,, 25s Arch street. New Britain, who was summoned by Constable George Kanupka Saturday night after kieffers car had collid- ed with one driven by Theodore F. Cahaski. 3S0 Park avenue, Meriden, near the Maple cemetery in Berlin, was the first to be tried. After a short hearing in which Cahaski, Kieffer. and Constable Kanupka testified, Judge Griswold fined Kief- fer s25 and costs, remitting $15. Dissatisfied with the decision, Keif- fer brought up the fact that his summons had been given him for driving without a drivers license and that he had been arraigned for reckless driving. Upon producing his license in court the original charge had been dropped and the prosecu- tion proceeded on the grounds of reckless driving. Kieffer pleaded guilty to not having his license with him at the time of the collision but denied the reckless driving charge.
 Despite the controversy over the charge, Judge Griswold did not withdraw the fine he had already decided upon. Kieffer, dissatisfied, said he would appeal his case to the superior court.
 Game Law Breakers Pay
 E. B. Lasker, 16, of 216 Stratford road was charged with hunting without license. having been found with a dead squirrel by State Game Warden Yeager. The youth, who answered present" when Judge Griswold called his name, was ac- companied by his father, who was appointed guardian during the trial. Due to Lasker's youth and evident ignorance of game laws, his case was nolled upon his paying the costs of court, which were $10.
 Pasqualle Spenceri and Edmund DeSarro, both of New Britain. were heard jointly on a charge offered by Game Warden Charles Allhouse, who found the two men hunting on October ?. Allhouse produced two black orioles which the defendants had had in their pockets at the time of their arrest. They pleaded guilty and were fined $l0 and costs each.
 Marino Mariotti, who was charged with hunting ducks after sundown, on October 8, had his case con- tinued until next week.
