Unusual Alibi Tn Police Court Case
 Continues Hearing
Additional Witnesses to Be Heard in Case of Driver Charged With Operating While Under the Influence
 of Drink Policeman Escapes Being Struck

Main street and that 1t came straight for the drug store on the corner, forcing him to jump on the sidewalk. He said he blew his whis- tie and Manthey stopped and that he then drove the man to police headquarters. He said Manthey was apparently under the influence of drink.
 Sergeant Patrick IIilborg, who booked Manthey, said the man had staggered and that he had an odor of liquor on his breath but that he answered questions satisfactorily. Patrolman Buckmiller, who was in charge of the eel block, told the court Manthey had complained of being i'll from eating raw oysters.
 Witnesses Testify
 Several of Mantheys companions at the party said they had been af- fected by the oysters in varying de- grees and that some of the oysters had been discarded as unfit to eat when they were opened. Those who testified were Francis Murphy, Michael Rice, Edward Weiss and Wilbur Buckman, all of Cheshire and Treat Hotchkiss of Southbury.
 Manthey said he had let his two friends out ct Mixville and Welton streets respectively and had pro- ceeded down town to get something for his illness. He lives in Prospect.

.NAUCATUCK SUIT.
 WITHDRAWN HERE

Settlement out of court was re. ported today in the 46,000 sui brought by Elizabeth Breen of Nau' gatuck against St. Mary's Church Corporation of Union City. The suit was based on injuries sus. tained in Q fall on Q stairway at the church. The action was with drawn from the docket of the court of common pleas, but terms of set- clement were not announced.
 The suit charged that on Dec. 8, 1884, the woman fell on the steps of the church while she was descending them, and that she sus- tained serious injuries as Q result. Injuries to the nose, face, head, legs and brain were listed in the com- plaint.
 It was alleged in the complaint that the stairway of the church was not lighted. A door was open aS the woman started to ascend, she charged, and she could see where she was going, but the door was closed as she reached half-way up, and she was unable to see where she was going. She turned around and was descending the stairway, plan ming to use another entrance, when she fell.
 Attorney Joseph Talbot appeared for the plaintiff, and Attorney Mar tin P. Qormley for the defendant.

Continuance to Saturday to allow the testimony of further witnesses was granted Caesar Manthey, 6S, of RID number 2, city, in city court today after the presentation of one of the most unusual defenses to Q charge of driving under the in- fluence of liquor in the annals of the court. Manthey, arrested early on the morning of April 12, by Pa- trolTnan Anthony Mole after his car had veered sharply to the left near Bria's Drug store on East Main street, allegedly forcing the officer to run up on the sidewalk to avoid being struck, said hehad been made "dopey" by eating oysters ct Q par- ty earlier in the evening.
 Others Nauseated
 Several men who had attended the party given at the Cheshire Rod and Gun club with Manthey testified this morning that they had been nauseated by the oysters and that there had been nothing to drink ex- cept beer. They said Manthey had not been Haoticeably affected and had been able to drive his car when he left for home early that morning.
 Manthey was unable to explain to the courts satisfaction his reasons for driving his car into the city af- ter he had taken two friends home, and passed his own house, and the continuance was granted in order to permit the testimony of the two pas. sengers in his car.
 "Whether or not oysters affect Q man in the manner described is something for Q physician to de- cide," Judge Edward Mascolo said. Tt is obvious, however, that the last two persons with Manthey are the ones can best describe his con- dition."

Thousands of car onwerS have neglected to bring their cars to the lanes when the inspection work was proceeding in their respective dis- tricts, according to Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Michael A. Connor. Owners of these cars will consequent ly have to drive to an inspection lane in some other section of the state before July II.
 Liable To Fine
 Failure to have cars and trucks inspected as required by law leaves owners liable to Q fine of $50 when presented in court and suspension of registration for Q period Of SO days.
 At the local station only about 1000 of an estimated 30,0OO cars and trucks in this vicinity have been presented for inspection, acc cording to Thomas Lumpkin, super- visor of the lane. The small num- Der of cars appearing daily ct the station is in contrast to the long lines of last year. Several times cars lined the length of Freight street, where the lane was located last fall, into Judd street as far as West Main street.
 A survey of the inspection work up to and including Saturday, May 2, shows that ll2,626 cars have been inspected out Of an anticipa- ted total of $40, ,7e5, according to the state department report. Of the number checked, 6670 were rejected and must be brough back for re- checking before the official inspec- ton seal Is placed on the wind- shields.
 Motorists who fail to bring their cars back to the lanes within Q reasonable time for recheck are liable to have the number plates taken away summarily by inSpec. tor of the motor vehicle depart. ment. This has been done in seve. eral sections of the state, notably at the Norwalk lane, when auto- mobile owners acted indinerently regarding obeying the mechanical inspection law. In such eases the motorists are summoned to Q hear- ing before Motor Vehicle Commis. sioner Michael A. Connor to de- termine how long the registrations in question shall stand suspended. The waterbury lane will close July Ii, A lane will open in Torrlngton on June il and continue in opera ton until July il.

CLOSING HOURS ON LIQUOR SALE
 NOW IN FORCE
O'Clock Closing Applies to Restaurants, Others
 Handling Drinks

Closing hours on the sale of liquor, including beer and wine, went into effect in Alaska at l O. clock this morning and a general darkness was noted in places in Juneau dispensing beverages. Under the new regulation, effective today, no sales or consumption on the premises will be permitted between the hours of l a. m. and a. m.
 It was explained by the Board of Liquor control that l o'clock closing means that 1 o'clock is the end of drinking on the premises. For example it would be interpreted as a violation of the regulation to order a quantity oi beer or wine just be- fore the closing hour and continue to consume it after l o'clock on the premises where it was sold.
 The regulation applies to all res taurants and places that serve beer and wine as well as to liquor dis penSarieS.
