the Baltimore & Ohio and trolley car on
the Braddock & Rankin branch of the
Second Avenue Electric line which re-
suited in the death of Miss Kuesne and
the severe injury of william Jones, both
passengers on the electric car. The Balti-
more & Ohio train was an hour late and
was coming at high rate of speed Just
as the trolley car approached the crossing.
When the motorman and conductor saw
the collision was inevitable they told the
passengers to jump for their lives. There
were twelve passengers, all of whom sue
ceeded in getting off except Miss Kuesne.
She failed to get off because she could not
understand English and did not know
the danger she was in. The car was
struck fairly in the center and was re-
duced to kindling wood. Miss Kuesne's
head was cut entirely off and her body
horribly mutulated. William Jones had
his arm crushed and head ba.ly cut. All
the other passengers were bruised or
slightly hurt by flying pieces of the wreck.
