Dr. Wade Cleared Of Drunk Driving
Dr. Henry A. Wade, 65, well-known Brooklyn physician and head of the Wade Hospital at 495 Greene Ave., today was acquitted in Felony Court of drunken driving charges.
Magistrate Solomon, after a long hearing, conferred with the physician on the advisability of a man his age suffering from cardiac and diabetic disabilities driving his own car. Dr. Wade agreed with the court and said he now has a chauffeur.
Assistant District Attorney Hoey said he would take up the matter with the State Motor Vehicle Bureau and Bernard Katz, defense counsel, said he would submit the whole record of the case to the bureau.
Dr. Wade was accused of driving his car while drunk at 10 p.m., Dec. 22, and crashing into the car of James Murphy of 277 7th St. at Flatbush and Lafayette Aves. Murphy said he was knocked unconscious and could not idenify [sic] Dr. Wade.
