GEARY BATTLES
cops' cm of
DRUNKEN DRIVE
Briefs have been filed by the state
and defense In the case of Ben Geary
of Elk Creek, arrested for alleged
drunken and reckless driving. The
state specifically alleges that Geary
backed up and turned around on the
Crater Lake Highway on .August 19,
last, contrary to traffic rules and
public safety.
The defense, in Its brief, contends
that Geary was not Intoxicated, that
he had drunk nothing but three bot
tles of legal beer at Trail, that he was
able to relate the conversation he
had with officers when arrested, and
that he was able to perform the "dif
ficult feat" of backing up an auto.
The state claim that Geary had "a
papillary acceleration" and "Increased
pulsation" due to the presence of
Intoxicants within, Is contended by
the defense to have been due to the
excitement of being arrested.
The defense also avers that the
state, In Its brief, and syllabus, failed
to state the law covering Intoxica
tion in full, and hints that it was
for the purpose of "deceiving the
honorable court."
The defense also cites op In tons and
definitions of Intoxication, and that
It Is very difficult of deflnlton by
lawyers or determnatlon by laymen.
The state contends in Its brief that
Geary comes within the law covering
Intoxication and reckless driving, and
that "whiskey was smelled upon bis
breath."
Geary, when arrested, was brought
before Justice of the Peace William
R. Coleman, but no plea was made,
and the matter has been pending
since that date.
The defense sets forth that Geary
left his home on Elk creek, drove to
Trail, where he procured gasoline,
drank three bottles of 3-2 beer, and
later committed the alleged offense
of backing up on the highway. The
gasoline seller testified Geary was not
intoxicated.
The court will consider the briefs
and then decide whether or not a
trial will be held.
Geary, a well-known resident of
the Elk Creek district, Is represented
by Kelly and Kelly; the state by
Deputy District Attorney George W.
Nellson.
