Hit Run Driver Gets
Off Lightly In Court

Six children, three of them step
children, saved 25-year-old Eugene
A. Fortier, 351 West Grove street,
from jail sentence after he plead
ed guilty before Judge Charles r.
Summa in city court this morning
to charges of evading responsibility
illegal use of markers and driving
an unregistered car.
Judge Summa imposed fines OF
$110 and costs and 30-day jail
sentence. II suspend this Jail sem
tence reluctantly" the judge de-
clared, land only out of considera-
ton for your six children. The
court has no sympathy for people
who drive away after damaging
other cars"
Pros. Atty Albert w. Hummel
said car driven by Fortier haG
struck machine on North Main
street two weeks ago, damaging its
fender and hubcap, and then con-
tinued on. The driver Of the car
that was hit reported Fortier's
marker number to police who found
it to be registered in the name OF
Cecilia Standbridge, North Main
street.
Atty. Ralph G. Coppetto said that
Fortier had bought the car from
Miss Stanbridge a month ago, but
did not realize that he was required
to change the registration. He said
his client continued on after he hit
the car on North Main street be-
cause he thought no damage had
been done.
