tue NeW bTlldlH NeIlCiS. Pierpont denied that he was driv- ing on the left hand side of the road and claimed that the accident oc- cured when the paper truck sud- denly turned towards Crooked street without warning. The Kensington man stated that he was taken un- awares and made a quick turn of the wheel to the right but struck the rear end of the vehicl" in frout of him.
 The trial was featured by individ- ual battles between Prosecutor Charles F. Conlon and Judge Will liam r. Mangan, counsel for Pier pont. Mangan claimed that kukuck mad passed out his clients truck and that accounted for Pierpont bein , so close to the paper truck. He aiao claimed that the testimony was very conflicting, stating that kukuck has changed his testimony repeatedly while being questioned and asked for discharge.
 Prosecutor Conlon stated that Pierpont was not using proper judg- ment or driving within the law by operating his truck, which contain ed six tons, within 20 feet of the paper vehicle. He claimed that t was clear case of violation of the rules of the road and that Pier pont was being let off easy as th4 l nf Ia, l driving.
 | Pictures of the scene of the crash were produced in court and Prose- Cutor Conlon stated that they show ed clearly that the paper company truck had already made the turn and was almost into Crooked street when the accident occurred. Congregational Church Notes
