C. Cutten, S.M. Hale had been charged with negligent driving, and the magistrate reserved his decision. In summarising the evidence, Mr. Cutten said that defendant had been driving at a reasonable speed. The woman had been walking with her head down, and Hale’s explanation of the accident was a reasonable one. He held that the evidence was not sufficient to support a conviction.
