DECREASE IN
COURT CASES
Docket in Superior Court,
Criminal Session, Small.
est in Years

Waterways present criminal
docket Of the Superior Court, which
contains fewer cases than any dock
ct submitted by a local states at
torney in some time is causing con-
siderable comment among local at
torneys. The general impression
seems to be that figuring the num-
Der Of cases on other dockets in the
state that Waterbury is better off
than most cities of the state inso-
far as major criminal cases are con-
cerned.
There are only thirteen cases on
the present criminal list and many
Of these have already been disposed
of through pleas of guilty. At the
present time the case of Edward G.
Stains, charged with operating q
motor vehicle while under the in
fluence of liquor is on trial, the
case having been continued Thurs
day afternoon until Tuesday morn
ing. 1t is expected that this case
will be completed Tuesday or early
Wednesday when the case Of Fran
els p. Sheehan 81 of 20 Field street
Is expected to be tried before jury.
The accused pleaded guilty to a
statutory charge arising from an
alleged attempted assault on Anna
Stankavich, %, of 1913 Washington
avenue.
OF the remaining cases on the list
1t is expected that several pleas OF
guilty will be entered and It is ex-
pected that the criminal session will
be shortly terminated.
Local lawyers in discussing the
local criminal situation during re-
cess at the court yesterday morn
ing agreed that that while there are
a number Of petty crimes being
committed in Waterbury and that
while the City Court has a number
Of cases Waterbury has a splendid
record and that the Waterbury po-
lice department Is entitled to con-
CALCULATIONS. The motor patrol
squad and the local detective bur-
eau came in for special praise from
the lawyers.
The city has been free from MUIR
ders for considerable length OF
time the lawyers pointed out.
Most of the cases now before the
court deal with the theft of auto
mobiles and such charges as adult
cry and assault.

HOAX CREATOR IS
PUNISHED ENOUGH

Salem, Mass, June 8--(UP)-Po-
lice decided today that the hot irons
which Fred Stiles applied to his
abdomen, thighs and buttocks had
inflicted sufficient punishment. They
said he would not be prosecuted for
perpetrating hoax that led them
through two states in seach Of the
"kidnapers" who branded" him.
Stiles, 61-year- old Salem garden
er, appeared at police headquarters
yesterday, told his fantastic story
and, to support 1t, displayed mean
ingless initials and numerals scared
into, his flesh. He said he had been
abducted from his home Monday
night, driven to an isolated Vermont
farmhouse, branded, and forced into
a ritualistic marriage with woman
he never had seen before.
After long questioning, however,
Stiles admitted having branded him
self. The story, he said, was dream
ed up while he was walking to Law
renee after soaring his body last
Saturday. Why he did IT, he said,
he did not know.

Drivers Should Set
Example For Youth
Superintendent Roach in Weekly Safety Appeal
Stresses Initiative Tendencies of Youngsters

supt. Of Police william J. Roach
today urged the public to drive
safely as q matter Of family pride
The chief explained that children
learn by imitation, and learning tc
drive is no exception.
III they initiate o good driver
they become good In their turn"
But II . good example Is not set
children are prone to take Their
driving cues from the corner-cut-
tiers,
The chiefs statement follows:
Automobiles are as matter Of
fact to American children as their
daily quart Of milk, or their por-
ton Of spinach. To many Of the
older people, however, the speed
ing motors are still O sort Of mir
acle involving awe and fear.
Between these points of view
there Is o world of experience to
be spanned before the children
can drive with safety and their
parents can look at them behind
the wheel without shouting Dam
gerl"
Safe driving is matter of i'm
portance to all. We cannot 60 on
killing people on the streets and
highways as we have been doing.
The machines are as perfect as
machines can be made but the
drivers stand a lot Of improving.
Machines have no brains. They
are under the control Of the
driver whose brains must serve
machine and man. If his brains
are enlightened by intelligence
and training, we have q safe
driver. If not, we have not.
Observing Youngsters
Most of our children are intel
ligent and can be trained If we
take the trouble to train them,
which we often do not. They
learn to drive much In the FASH
Ion small boys used to learn to
swim, secretly and daringly, often
dangerously. Fathers and mothers
often say, wait until you are old
enough to drive. Then you can
learn" And children do not wait,
but learn, in their own way.
Driving q car Is q skill that
should be learned early, when
minds are keen, reactions quick
and endurance Is at It's peak. It
is fatal to expect q boy or girl to
become a skillful driver over night.
Children learn most Of what
they know by imitation, and that
is the way they learn to drive. If
they initiate a good driver they
become good In their turn. But
II they have to snatch at q
chance they are too likely to i'm
itate the poorest type.
Children are attracted by the
sensational, they shrek with glee
when bullets fly on the movie
screen. 1t stands to reason, that
II their fathers and mothers do

Watch Your Step!
Please watch your car manners
when driving with children and
young people. What they see you
do they will surely do in their
turn. Keep the rules. Pay at
tention to the road signs. Obey
signals as e life or death depend
ed upon 1t. Sometimes they may.
Take no chance and stay within
the speed limit.
Young people love speed an,
they know no fear until expert
ence instills 1t. If they can es-
cape that kind Of experience, so
much the better. Your example
may help to that end. Safe
driving ought to be. q matter Of
