JOSEPH KRAMER
 FINED $25, COSTS
Elizabeth Street Resident Reckless Driver: Second
 Charge Suspended

Joseph Kramer, 20, of & Eliza beth street, was found guilty on charges of reckless driving and passing e stop sign when arraigned before Judge John L. Gaffney in municipal court today.
 Judge Gaffney fined the accused $25 and costs on the reckless driv- ing count and entered a suspended sentence on the charge of passing stop sign. Kramer's attorney re- quested payment of the fine be de- ferred until Nov. 12.
 Two persons were injured when the car Kramer was driving Oct. 12 collided with one driven by An tonic Latina, whose car struck one operated by Robert E. Johnson of 3l9 Dwight street at the intersec- ton of Washington street and Syl- van avenue. As a result of the three car collision, Latina and a passenger in his car, Miss Evelyn Vanelette, IS, of 25 Sylvan avenue, were taken to St. Mary's hospital for treatment.
 Motor Patrolman John Deeley testified two stop signs were at the intersection, one on the corner of Sylvan avenue and another at the junction of Washington street.
 Latina said he was proceeding along Washington street when Kramer's car struck him on the side of the door where Miss Van- cellette sat, and spun the rear of the car against one driven by Joh1- son who was stopped at Q sign on Washington street.
 Latina and Mss Vancelette tes- tified that the accused was travel ing at @ fast rate of speed al- though they were not able to de- termine how fast 1t was. Both said that Kramer neglected to heed the stop sign as he drove into the in- tersection.
 Testimony revealed Johnson and Kramer faced stop sign while Latina had through traffic on Washington street.
 Kramer said he was through, de- Hvering telegrams and was on his way back to the office when the collision occurred. He said his car had traveled about three quarters of the way on the intersection when he collided with Latina's ma chine.
 Kramer's lawyer pointed out that Kramer, who works in Q local clock factory and also delivers telegrams was in no particular haste when the accident occurred and argued no evidence of recklessneSs could be attributed to the accused.
 Judge Gaffney ruled that evl- dence presented was that Kramer ignored warning signs, thereby jeopardidng the life of other mo- torists.
