RECKLESSNESS CHARGE
 BASED ON CROWDED CAR
Policeman Finds Four in Coupe Seat - Driver Fined On
 Speeding Charge

Although first charged with reCk-
 less driving, under a bulletin from the motor vehicle department, Dom- chic Wilczewski of fl Dwight court was presented in police court yester- day on the charge of speeding and
 fined s10 and costs. He was driv- ing a coupe on Myrtle street Satur- day afternoon and struck the rear end of a car owned by Ignazio Co., lea of 32 Magnolia avenue, Bristol, which was parked short distance west of Washington street Vile zewski's car was turned over but mo- body was injured.
 Officer Louis F.. Harper, who made the arrest, preferred the reck- less driving charge when he heard Colea's accusation that Wilczewski was driving at the rate of 30 miles an hour and had three passengers in the coupe. The motor vehicle de- partment bulletin contains a section bearing on reckless driving, as fol- lows: There is no law specifically the riding of three per- sons on the front seat of a motor but If such practice re- suits in crowding the driver and pre- venting him from exercising full control over the vehicle, it is quite possible that he would be open to a charge of reckless driving in case any accident occurred while he was operating in such a position"

explained that he had been employed on Wynola avenue and chose to sleep in an open shed used by children as playhouse. It was too warm to sleep in the house, he said.
 Johnson was arrested with his em- ployer and the latter's wife but the court was satisfied that he had no connection with the disturbance which was the cause of the call for the police. He said he had a job 10 so to yesterday but he did not know that it would be waiting for him after his inability to report because of his arrest.

Petuskis, q, of 436 Chestnut street, was given suspend ed jail sentence of 20 days and plac- ed on probation, after pleading guilty to charges of drunkenness, breach of the peace and assaulting his brother Francis.

WIDOW CALLS SPY
 { STORY CONSPIRACY
Says Arrest Was Made to En-
 danger Her Pension

Miami, Fla, Sept. tP,-Back in her native land after an airplane night from Havana, Sonora Martha Lane Marlote, 19 year old American, last night said charges of spying which caused her detention in Cuba were brought in an effort to jeop- ardize her pension as the widow of a Cuban officer.
 Before departing on a New York train to visit her father she em- phatically denied that she entered into negotiations with agents of Colombia and the United States to sell a secret code of the Cuban air corps after her husband was killed when his plane fell July l.
 Senora Marlote, who went on a hunger strike while in jail, was re- leased yesterday after an investiga- ton.
 T never knew a secret code exist ed in the Cuban air corps, and fur thermore, had I known it, it would have been of no avail to me to sell the code to the United States as Cap- tain Jack Beam of the United States army, organized the Cuban air corps" she said
 "1 have two children. one two years and the other eight months of age and myself, all dependent upon the Cuban government for a livel- hood, so why should I try to cause any disturbance in Cuba.
 T had booked passage to sail with my mother and the children for the United States Saturday upon an ur- gent telegram from my father who 1s desperately i'll in Long Meadow, Mass, my former home, and was arrested the day before the boat sailed"
 Her mother and two children were due in New York today by steamer.
