IldlIlS III bOAlDG tourney,
 Implying that the lack of dncc- ton marking at the intersection of Main street and Memorial boule- ward were at fault in a recent auto mobile accident at that corner, Judge William J. Malone in police court this morning found Dominic lDi Pictro of Tulip street. who had lccn arrested after the mishap, not guilty Of reckless driving and re- mitted $40 after fining him $50 and costs on a charge of cvadinc re- sponsibility.
 Iii Pietro's car struck one oper- stcd by HarolG Malcrbo of New Britain, damaging the rear fender and running board to the extent of about S@o. Di Pietro then fled but was caught when Malerbo chartered third machine and gave chase. Judge Malone today pointed out | that the traffic rules at the corner are unusual in that the practice is | for motorists to pass to the left of the dummy whereas the general practice throughout the state is to go to the right. Malerbo, not know ing this, was going around the post on the right hand side when struck, and, since this was contrary to cus- | tom here, the judge did not think Dl Pietro was at fault. He recom- mendcd that markings be placed so that out-of-town drivers might be warned of the unusual custom at this intersection.
