FINED $25 FOR FAILING TO STOP AFTER ACCIDENT
In the Kitchener police court on Thursday last, Ruddy Litwiller, Glasgow Lane, Kitchener, was found guilty of failing to return to the scene of an accident after hitting a horse and buggy and was fined $25 and costs or 19 days in jail. Although Litwiller produced eight witnesses to support his claim that he was not out of the house at the time of the accident, the prosecution produced a bill for gasoline which Litwiller purchased at a local gasoline station, the clerk at the gasoline station swearing that he sold several gallons of gas to Litwiller on the night of the accident. Litwiller claimed to have bought no gas on Dec. 24th but on Dec. 23rd, the night before the accident. The magistrate said he believed the witnesses who gave evidence on behalf of Litwiller were mistaken and he accordingly imposed the above fine, the witnesses also disagreeing in their evidence to some extent. Litwiller asked for an adjournment until Wednesday as he wished to enter an appeal, which was granted.
