 In the matter of the charges against Mccarthy, Motor Patrolman Joseph Mccarthy testified that he and other officers had arrested the accused and said that he had been drinking. Prosecutor Mitchell Mey- CTS asked the officer if he would say that the accused was drunk" and the officer replied that he wasn't judge of that.
 Attorney Navin told the court that McCarthy's license had been sus- pended for about two years and that ''his girl in Naugatuck" had been keeping the car and driving it. Mo- Carthy he said, was arrested while driving up one of the back roads in order to avoid the motor patrol.
