Boyce, locomotive engineer, residing at 1072 25th Street, Detroit, Mich., by J. Caverely of Niagara Falls, Ont., was dismissed by Magistrate W. H. Floyd Thursday, with all costs to be borne by Caverely. Caverely, called to the witness stand by his counsel, W. R. Strike; of Bowmanville, told of driving his car on he highway three or four miles west f Brighton, on Septemjber 14, when glance off the side of a car which ras passing him, made him drive into the rear of a heavy waggon ahead of him, wrecking his own car, and throwing the driver of the waggon, Moses Murphy, off it onto the road. " was the contention of Mr. Caver-that the car which passed him, en by E. M. Boyce, tried to pass without warning, after he himself had turned out to pass the wag-ahead of him. Caverely said that the impact of his car against Murphy's vagon, broke his radiator, windshield, fendars and engine hood, as well as breaking the waggon, throwing the rear wheels in the ditch, the box across the road, and frightening the team which ran away^with the tongue and the front wheels. Moses Murphy, the owner and driver of the waggon said that the iaggon , with a six bj twelve foot box of a type used to carry tomatoes. He said that when he was thrown from the waggon, his leg was scraped and his back was hurt but that he was not stunned. When he got up, which was almost immediately, he saw his team Tunning down the road, dragging the front wheels of the waggon with them. Earl M. Boyce, the defendant in the case, when called by his counsel. W. P. McMahon. Port Hope, said that he has owned and driven a car since 1909, and showed his state driver's license. He said he turned out about 40 feet behind Caverely, and blew his horn to pass him, blowing it again when he came even with the rear of the car. When he was parallel and even with Caverely, the latter turned out and hit his hud cap, he said, and then turned in again and hit the waggon. "The only damage to my car," continued Mr. Boyce, "was a mark on the right front hub cap, and a dent in the right rear fender. Mr. Caverely did not give any sign when I was behind him, or to the side of him, that he was going to turn out." In reply to a question by Mr. Strike, Boyce said he always gives signal to the driver behind him before he passes another car or obstruction on the highway. He admitted this is not compulsory by law, but declared he did it for his own safety. Witness continued that after the accident, he stopped and returned to the scene and gave Caverely his name and address and did not try in any way to get away. Morton W. Merten, son-in-law of Mr. Boyce, and student in dentistry at Michigan University, said he was in the back seat of the car at the time of the accident, and that in his opinion Caverely lost control of his car after being sideswiped. His wife, Mildred Merten, corroborated her father's testimony, saying he blew his horn twice before passing the slower moving vehicle, and that he was going about 35 miles an hour at the time. In summing up, Magistrate Floyd took issue with one of Provincial Constable Fewtrell's statements, when the latter said he considered he had done his duty when he did not lay any charge against either driver after hearing particulars of the accident frcm both sides. The court thought the constable should have laid a charge of reckless driving against the complainant, Caverely, who continued the bench, showed laxity in not giving .warning to anyone behind him when turning out. The costs of the court were assessed to Caverely. You might find a buyer for that extra piece of furniture you have put away. An advt. in The Express will let people know about it. EXPRESS ADS.
