This was in spite of a plea made
by Attorney Abraham Slavitt for the
defendant that a finding for driving
under the influence was equivalent
to taking ' the livelihood from a
chauffeur. since it meant the inevit-
able suspension of his license. The
defendant has 48 hours in which to
appeal, and. from indications this
' morning, will fight the case.
Judge Candee found Savoia guil-
ty of drunkenness. operating an au-
tomobile under the influence of
liquor. and driving without a license,
after testimony from Omccr Henry
Webb, who arrested him May 27. on
Wood street. as being unable to ope-
rate the suburban car he was driv—
ing back to New York in moving the
Windmillcr's household goods for the
summer. Further weight to the
charges was added by Policeman
Wallace Sammie, acting desk ser-
geant at the time, who testified as
to Savoia’s condition.
Counsel for the defendant made no
attempt to fight the charges. asking
merely for leniency in view of the
fact that the driver is a. married
man and supports two children and
an invalid mother-in-law. He ask-
ed that if Judge Candee found'the
jdriver guilty that he i‘ccOmmend that
2the department of tor vehicles
allow him to continue rivlng.
This Judge Candee refused to do.
Prosecuting Attorney Edward M.
Lockwood remarked that all intox-
mieated drivers ask that their licenses
be continued and Judge Candee then
said that a. bulletin from the state
*department asks all judges to give
ijaii sentences, declaring that the.
dabuse must. stop. Ills observation
qwu that the case was “unusual and
unfortunate" but that where the par-
ticular case might recommend a per-
sonal request that the driver's license
be not suspended, it would also
stultify the decision. as to the man's
guilt. “
Savola, who has been a chauffeur
for 17 years. has never taken a drink
in the seven years he has worked
for the New York family, Mr. Wind.
miller testified. He said that he was
desirous of keeping the man and,
when questioned as to whether such
a. peribd would indicate temperance,
beamed jovially and indicated that
in his opinion seven years was a long
period when dry. .
The question of guilt in the case
was clinched when Officer Sammie
declared that Dr. T. R. Bradley. call-
ed to the cell by Savoia had examin-
ed him and said “You're not intox-
icated; you're drunk."

given Colonel Brookhart's scat two
months ago.
