Though Feeling “Humiliated”
WESTPORT, May 15.—An automo-
bile trap is again being operated by
Constable Frank S. Sturges. but only
a few arrests have been made this
.week. After arresting about to auto-
mobilists in a few days, nearly three
weeks ago. it .was reported~that Con—
tabie Sturges had been asked to dis-
continue the practice by the select-
men. To a repor.ter Sturges said, "It
was only doing my duty and now '1’“
let someone else do the ‘dlrty work.’
It humiliates me to approach a gentle-
Iman and tell him be» under arrest
for riding without a tail light."
Merchants and other residents are
‘greatly opposed to the constable's
Iplans. One prominent man, however,
isaid yesterd y that it was disgraceful
‘for the town and the merchants to
Ifear they would lose all transient au-
immobile trade because of the trap.
Justice J. G. Hyatt, when he tried the
first batch arrested, fined each of them
