PURELY ACCIDENTAL.
That Was the Verdict In Regard to tho
Death OF Merritt Lawrence.


Death of Merritt Lawrence.
In the arbitration room OF the court
house the testimony of witnesses was
taken last night before Coroner j. A..
Kelley and the jury impaneled to In
vestlgate the death of 4-year-old Mer-
rltt Lawrence, who was killed by Il
street car last Thursday afternoon on
Adams avenue. Professor Allan Law
renee. father of the dead child, was not
present, but he was represented by At
torney w. =. Hulslander. In behalf Of
the Traction company Attorney Horace
r.. Hand was present. Court Stenog-
rapher Willis ID. Coston took the testi-
mony of the witnesses.
. James Cantwell. motorman of the car
that ran down the little boy, was first
sworn. He Is an experienced railroad
man. having been in the business for
the past twenty years. He worked for
many years as an employe OF the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western. His
opinion Is that the ear at the time Of
the accident was not running faster
than five or six miles an hour. The
boy unexpectedly ran on the track and
Mr.. Cantwell swore that he reversed
the motive power as quickly as he
could, foreseeing that the boy would
hardly escape from being run over.
The usual signals were sounded before
approaching the intersection of the
streets, but the boy darted in front Of
the car and could not be saved
Conductor Il. ID. Barclay of the car
was sworn and testified that he became
aware that something was wrong when
he felt the motors being reversed. The
car could not have gone more than
forty or fifty feet after 1t was reversed
before it stopped.
EX-School Controller George b.
Thompson and his son, Arthur c.
Thompson. We're sworn. They were on
theih way down Adams avenue, and the
car was almost at the crossing before
their attention was attracted. They
saw the boy run ahead of the car and
then the accident. Both substantiated
the motorman and conductor with re-
gard to the speed of the car. w. B.
Hartley, who was a passenger on the
car, gave testimony regarding the
speed of the car. He saw the boy ahead
and was of the opinion that the acci-
dent was unavoidable. The car was
not making excessive headway.
The jury decided that the death of
the child was purely accidental, and
the motorman was exonerated from all
liability.
