L
result of being "over touiilit" and
corluln disorganization due to the
Knoral retreat under constant beavy
pressure.
fcarl TtoynoldH, who owns and op
erates a taxlcab, was tried before the
city oouncll lat nlKht on the charge
of using Intoxicated while driving his
taxlfab, was found guilty and was
placed on three months probation. If
during thlB probation period he be
comes intoxlcutod or Is guilty of an)'
misconduct whatever his city license
to operute a taxlcab will be automat
ically revoked. The council vote on
this was unanimous.
The councilman, altho having no
doubt oC Reynolds' guilt as charged,
"were loath to revoke his license with
out giving htm another chance. Coun
cilman Davis, howover, before the
vote was taken to place Reynolds on
probation, declared emphatically that
as a man and citizen he did not be
lieve In whitewashing Reynolds and
that he favored revoking his license
at once, but that out of courteey to
the other councllmou who wanted to
give Roynolds a chance, he would
abide by tlio will of the majority.
Tho charge against Reynolds was
preferred by Chief of Pollco Tim
othy. City Attorney Fred W. Mears
conductod the prosecution and Uus
Newbury appeared as attorney for
Reynolds. Several citizens testified,
and others, woro ready to come and
testify against Reynolds if needed.
While the accused was only tried on
the one charge Chief Timothy de
clared that for some time part Reyn
olds had been In the habit of taking
parties to California towns several
times a week and driving 'back to
Aledford In an intoxicatod condition,
lie stated that many complaints to
this effect had been tnado to the po
lice, but that the lnttor had been un
able until now to get the goods on
him.
Altho admitting that he took a
drink or two occasionally, Reynolds
denied that ho over drove his taxi In
' an intoxicatod condition. lie declar
ed, too, that ho put In long hours
dally with his taxi with many late
night drives, and that ho had fol
lowed an Invariable rule when tired
out and drowsy, to stop at the side of
a road or street nnd roat or sleep,
rather than run nny risk of an acci
dent.' Tho specific charge on which
Rcynoldn was tried Inst night was
that about 9 p. m. Thursday, August
22, while In nn Intoxicated condition
he stopped his taxi at the side of
the street on North Riverside, near
Iho Jackson stroot bridge, and slept,
leaning over the steering wheel. Peo
ple In the neighborhood after ha had
teen in this position for some time,
thought that ho wns dead, nnd
Thonod tho pollco that thero was a
dead man In a taxlcab. Ucfore the
pollco arrived somo men who passed
by pushed tho taxi to tho Jucks.on
stroot hrldgo nnd went away.
Still tutor another group of citizens
passing by on the bridge and seeing
the taxi with Reynolds In It still
Bleep pushed tho laxl over tho bridg
to tho cannery nnd nwnkonod Reyn
olds. Also one of tho men found a
bottlo of whiskey In the tnxl and took
It away.
In answor to this charge Reynolds
declared Hint ho wns perfectly sober
but was thoroly tired out with n long
drive nnd much lorn of sleep for n
week previous, and In accordance
with his custom when fooling Hint
way, hud slopped Iho car on River
Bide to rest up. and hud fallen asleep.
