Leith said he was riding with Lavin and Levi Leith, another defense witness, corroborated his statement.Judge L. C. Ployhart, who heard the case, said there was conflicting testimony as to the exact scene of the brawl. Its location took on importance since drivers’ licenses might have been suspended had a state highway been the arena.nnAAT717TT T 17
