Show Motorist Wasn't Drunk, He Just Had a Glass Eye ORANGE, N. J. On the ground that his glassy stare after an automobile auto-mobile accident was caused by a glass eye he has worn since 1918, and not by intoxication, George W. Thomas, 40 years old, was freed of a charge of drunken driving in Orange Or-ange police court. Dr. Frederico Luong, Orange city physician, who had pronounced Thomas unfit to drive after the accident, ac-cident, was asked on cross-examina-, tion today. "Doctor, would it make any difference if you had known that Mr. Thomas had a glass eye?" "Oh, yes, quite a difference," Dr. Luong replied. "My opinion might be changed materially." Judge Philip Singer then ruled the defendant was "not so intoxicated as to render him unfit to drive," and dismissed the charge. |
