 He was taken to the New Britain police station and booked Both constables testified that the man did not ask to have a doctor, but did telephone for bondsman. Lcnniken was represented in court by Attor- ney Hayes of Hartford. who stated his client had been driving a car for eight or nine years. He had been planning to go on fishing trip Sunday with a friend who had plaC- ed a brief case in the car with q bottle of alleged liquor, His reason for leaving the scene after the ac- Cident was 10 get help from his friends, but on arriving he was suf- fering from the shock he received when the car overturned, his escape from the machine being miraculous.

Attorney Hayes con- tended that a mere smell ot alcohol Oh a mans breath did not prove in toxication. The charge was then changed to one of reckless driving and Linneken was found guilty on this charge and fined $25 and costs.
