The case was one of several aps pealS called when tho fail criminal term of tho court opened this morning. Several of the appeals were disposed of while trial dates were set in several others.
 Prosecutor Larkin, in pointing out that there was insufficient evidence to try the charge against Cooke, ex- pressed the belief the accused was not intoxicated at tho time of his arrest, and that he got into trouble because he talked too imuc.l."
 The prosecutor stated that Cooke complained of having Q cold when he stopped in Waterbury to pick up his car at c repair garage. He took one shot of liquor on the advice Of Q friend and started for home, the court was told, When he spotted state police car near Middlebury he thought it was driven by Q close friend who is with the state police, t was pointed out. His manner of driving and stepping the car aroused the suspicion of the state policeman, who was not the one the accused thought he was, and he was arrested, the prosecutor said.
 Cooke talked too much" on his arrest and on his arraignment in city court, Attorney Larkln stated in explaining the fine which was imposed. The fine was ei0O, with one.haif remitted.
 Attorney Larkin said he had ask- cd for Q continuance in the case from last AprilS term so he could make further investigation, and re. ported there was "remoteness of proof" He stated the accused has an excellent reputation in Middle. bury, where he drives c school -bus, and asked the judge to note that his peculiar walk was due to disabil- ity.
 In entering e nolle Judge Cullin. an asked the accused to be careful not to let the same circumstances get him into Q similar situation.
 A nolie was entered in the case Of joS0ph Paradise Of Torrington, who was accused of non-support, after the prosecutor stated the matter was now in the jurisdiction of the superior court at Litchheld.
 The case had been continued for four terms while the accused con. tlnuel to make payment of 60 week. ly, the court was told. 4 few months ago lie started divorce proceedings in the Litchfield court and an or- der was issued there for payment of altinony pending trial, the pros- ecutor said.
 A bond placed in the case of Rich. ard L. Duffy of Middlebury, who was charged with reckless driving, was called, when neither the acc cused nor his counsel appeared in court.
 Elisha Watts of 60 Vine street pleaded guilty to charge of vio- lating the rules of the road and SC fine imposed in city court was sustained. His arrest followed an accident on Chase Parkway.

 The Ourluck crew members were loud in their praise of Capt Mac Lean and his crew for their timely rescue. However, Capt. MacLean said very little and left the water front in rather a hurry for his building project as he had promised his wife that he would work on it all day Sunday and would not leave it for anything.
