 Brown was driving along the avenue
 toward West Haven. accompanied by thirteen-year-old boy named Joseph
 Fierstein. When they were about 300
 feet this side of the first bridge on Kimberly avenue. tho horse. for some reason not known. shied and dashed in front of electric car No. 5S with trailer, which was going toward west Haven. As there are no crossings on this part of Kimberly avenue, which leads straight across the meadows to West Haven, the cars go along at quite a rapid gait. Thus the car struck the team with great force.
 MT. Brown was thrown under the car, and the controller at the bottom ot the car struck his forehead, pinning him down to the ground. A deep gash was cut in his temple. extending from the center down to the side of his head. He was thus rendered unable to help himself at all. Help was immediately sent for to the power house. Jacks were brought and the car was raised up, releasing its prisoner
 Superintendent of Police Smith, who happened to be on the car. notified Police Surgeon Louis c. Gaynor, who soon arrived on the scene. Dr. Lambert of Howard avenue was also notified and came immediately. It was found that in addition to the cut on his forehead, his thigh was fractured and that he was injured internally. The police was summoned and he was taken to the hospital, where he died a few minutes after 3 o'clock. His fam fly having been summoned. were pres- ent at his death.
 The only injury that his companion, Joseph Fierstein, sustained was the cutting off of two fingers of one of his hands. He was also tken to the hos. pital, but was later sent to his homa down town.

W. Irving. all of New Britain. Mrs. Curtis New York and Charles w. Blakeslee of "A Cedar street, this city. They were witnesses of the acci. dent and when questioned by superin- tendent Smith, all agreed that the motorman was in no way to blame for the accident. as 1t would have been absolutely impossible to stop the oar. Thus when the motorman and the con- 1uctor appeared at police headquarterv Superintendent Smith decided not to hold them.
