Business Card THE WILLIAMSTOWN NEWS SECTION South Williamstown Motorist Fined $25 Found Guilty of Negligent Driving Following Sunday Accident. Walter Nicklien, of South Williamstown was found guilty of negligent driving by Judge Israel Ruby in district court this morning and fined $25. Nicklien entered a plea of not guilty. He was represented by Atty. O.

Dixon Marshall. Charles Canedy of Greenfield, a student at Williams college, who was arraigned on a similar charge, and who pleaded not guilty, was found not guilty by the court and the case was ordered dismissed. The appearance of the two defendants in court this morning was 1he result of an accident shortly after midnight Sunday morning in which cars driven by the two men were involved. Testimony showed that Nick- lien was headed south on Green River road and that he crossed over into the left lane in order to offer a ride to a young woman walking along the highway. Canedy, who was driving north, saw the headlights and presumed that they were in the right hand lane.

On getting closer he noticed that the Nicklien car was in his lane and he swung to the right, off the road to avoid it. In attempting to pass between the Nicklien car and the young woman, who was standing by the side of the road, the Canedy car hit the fender of the Nicklien car and just grazed the young woman. Neither of the defendants took the stand. The accident was investigated by Officer Melvin Thomason and Constable Gary Northup.
