Huff Death Driver Released in Clash Over Drunkometer After a long wrangle over the accuracy of the drunkometer, Ralph E. Bowstrom was discharged Thursday afternoon by Judge John Niblack, of municipal court, Room 4, on charges of manslaughter, driving while under the influence of liquor and drunkenness. He was the driver of the automobile that killed Lester Huff, widely known organist, February 2. A drunkometer test showed Mr, Bowstrom had .173 per cent. of alcohol in his blood, equivalent! of 6.92 ounces of liquor.

In. ordering Bowstrom discharged, Judge Niblack said he could not discount the testimony tf police and disinterested witnesses, all of whom said that in their opinion the defendant wqs sober at the time of the accident. The argument over the accuracy of the drunkometer was waged between Dr. R. N.

Harger, inventor of the device, who was a witness at the trial, and David M. Lewis, attorney for the defense. Mr. Lewis asked the doctor whether he was familiar with the fact that two Yale University physicians had rejected the drunkometer as a simple device for making tests for drunkenness because it requires a skilled technician or scientist to operate it. Dr.

Harger said he was familiar with the report, but said he had trained a police lieutenant to operate the drunkometer. Dr. Harger said he believed a person who had a drunkometer test of .15 was incapable of driving a car. Dr. Harger said that of forty-three pedestrians who died of traffic injuries in 1945, seven were drunk and one was a borderline case.

He said that according to police reports, seven had been drinking. -He said that in Janu ary, 1946, there was an unusual number of traffic death cases in volving drinking.
