Judge McEvoy Upholds
 Rights Of Pedestrians
AutOists Use Highways as Matter of Privilege; Pedes' trians Enjoy Rights to Same; Verdict to Injured Man

Pedestrians use the highways and cross walks as a matter of right, and the driver of an automobile uses the same only as matter of privilege, Judge Frank P. McEvoy, held in a decision yesterday in Hart ford superior court, upholding the rights of a pedestrian on the cross walks.
 By virtue of the decision, Thomas Pencek of Hartford was awarded damages of $1,251.05 against Frank Eichinger, of Hartford.
 Pencek was crossing street while the green taffic light faced him when he was struck by Eichinger's car. The latter admitted his own negligence but claimed he was not liable because Pencek was guilty of contributory negligence for not staying within the white lines of the cross-walk. The cross-walk marks were very indistinct.
 Judge McEvoy says that the stat utes were intended to give pedes- trians the right of way over vehi- cles on the cross walks. Continuing he says,
 "There seems to be a general inn precision among operators of auto mobiles that they use the highway and pass over the crosswalks definitely as matter of right and that the pedestrian does so only as a matter of nrivilepe
 '"The law is quite the reverse. Ever since motor vehicles have come into general use they have been classified separately from
