Hodgson, Westminister Town- ship resident for 33 years, died Oshawa, long as "Couple of Beers" {J S, Probes 22,000 |_THE weatiE As Suspected Reds Bring Heavy Fine "A couple of beers," consumed by John Irwin of Whitby ended in a fine of $75 and costs or 14 davs being imposed this morning, by Magistrate R. P. Locke, QC.. The two beers resulted in an accident involving the accused's car and a car driven by Jack Flumerfelt, of Sandford, on Highway 12, north of Brooklin, on February 7. Flumerfelt told the court this morning that Irwin's car was ca- reening back and forth on the road in front of his vehicle, which was proceeding north on' the highway. Magistrate Locke asked the wit- ness if he meant the car ahead of him was "weaving" and received an affirmative answer. As he tried to pass the swerving car, the witness said, the left front fender 'of Irwin's vehicle veered to the left of the road and struck his car. Unable to stop the other car, Flumerfelt said he travelled along the highway for a considerable dis- tance, parallel to the accused's car. Finally both cars stopped. When a passenger in the Irwin car (unnamed by the witness) got out of the vehicle, a short conver- sation ensued. Flumerfelt said he refused to settle the accident by sccepuing $10, which the man of- fered him. Concerning the accused, the wit- ness said he was not fit to drive the car. Half-full bottles of beer, he said, toppled out of the open door of the accused's ear and the man staggered back to the ve- hicle after making an examination of Salnage done to the cars. Grabbing the keys from the igni- tion of Irwin's vehicle, Flumerfelt said he left the scene of the crash and called police from a nearby telephone. Constable G. C. Parkington, of Ontario Provincial Police, stated ed that when he arrived at the ac- cident, both cars were parked on the north shoulder of the road. He took the car keys from Flumerfelt, then went to the scene of the collision, behind the cars. He told the court that debris had fallen on the west side of the road. Upon close examination of the Irwin vehicle, he said, he found 44 bottles of ale in the trunk, but, he added, there was no liquor in the front of the car. He said the accus- ed had thrown the half-empty bot- tles away. The constable then seized the ac- | cused's car and told him he would | be able to get it Rpck the follow- ing day. Sgt. W. A. Diamond, of Whitby lice, said that a few hours fol- loowing the collision, the accused came to the police station and us- ed "abusive" language. The ser- geant said that he was "tempted" to lock him up. Irwin, giving evidence, stated that Flumerfelt's car swung in front of his, cutting off his driving path. After asserting there was no beer in the car, the accused said he did not hear any horn blast before the car started to pass him. "I wds driving along. the high- way, minding my own business," he said. Irwin said he was headed for Lindsay, the day of the accident, after leaving Toronto about 2.30 in the afternoon. He added that he stopped off for "a couple of beers" at a. hotel along the way. '"The weaving was caused by weaving in his own head," Magis- trate Locke said, before fining the accused.
