Story Of Fortier
 Eating Sausage Is

Springfield Man Who Fought Cops on Meriden Road After Car Crashed Into Parked Machine Is Also Given Thirty Days in Jail By Judge Meyer

reason for refusing medical treat ment was that he was anxious to appear as he was in court and show the judge what happened to him.
 Patrolmen Joseph Mccarthy, Domenic Verrastro and Dennis Lynch in addition to Supernumer- ary Policeman Marsella testified against the accused. Three other cops were available if needed.
 Their story was to the effect that Fortier noticeably under the infiu- ence of liquor was driving in a zig-zag manner out East Main street with the lights of his ma chine out. As he was proceeding along the Meriden road he crashed into the parked machine. When or- dered to step out of the machine he refused. When half.dragged out he kicked Officer Mccarthy in the stomach and gave battle to others who tried to subdue him. Marsella testified that after struggling around with the accused they finally grounded him" and while one held onto his feet, Marsella sat on his chest and Mccarthy kept hold of his collar. They held this position until the arrival of the pa- trol, At police headquarters six pa trolmen had to drag, push and haul Fortier into 0 cell.
 "Dld you ask the accused to walk q line to, determine his so- briety?" asked Foftier's counsel of Officer Verrastro.
 Did we ask him to walk Q line" :" echoed the officer. "Why we were too busy sitting on him and hold ing him down."
 Members of a Russo family on East Farm street and of Q Guerrera family on Gilbert street accounted for the Fortier's whereabouts from 5:30 to 9:15 o'clock Sunday after noon and evening. When they left Gilbert street Fortier was sober. good, nice, etc."
 They had no liquor. nor no wine, as times were too hard, the wtt- nesses testified. only sausage and coffee with milk were served.
 Some of the officers were willing to admit as was Fortier that 1t was probably q case of bad temper, but that booze" was the primary cause.
 Judge T. V. Meyer imposed 0 fine of $200 and costs and sentenced Fortier to jail for thirty days while operating n motor vehicle while un. der the influence of liquor and add ed $50 and costs for resistance.
