Police today were continuing their
campaign against speeders and reck-
less drivers.
A total of 101 cases was taken be-
fore Judge John P. Mcmahon in Po-
lice Court yesterday, which proved
one of the courts busiest days.
From the total, IS drivers were con-
ricted and the remaining Is cases
continued. Sixty-two others forfeited
their collateral and did not appear in
court.
The most severe penalty was given
Louis c. Forsyth, who was fined SlO0
on charges of reckless driving and
failing to exhibit a drivers license and
committed to Jail for so days, accord
ing to court records, in lieu of pay
ment.
-Four others were released on $500
bond pending jury trials on charges
OF reckless driving. The fourth man,
Thomas Cordle, resident of Virginia,
forfeited collateral, but Mcmahon
issued bench warrant for his arrest
because the law makes trial on reck-
less driving charges mandatory.
