Sunday afternoon to meet some friends

know her say that she probably thought
that the only way to get off the car
was by jumping when the car was in

that he had given the signal to stop the
car at Gamer street, but that before 1t
stopped she jumped and fell, her head
striking against the curb. She still re-

The blood was gushing from a gaping
hold in his abdomen, and when found
he was so weak from loss of blood that
he was helpless.
The ambulance was called from police
headquarters and in it he was taken to
the New Haven hospital. AT the hospi-
tai 1t was found that Bowen had two
deep cuts in the abdomen, one about
six inches long and the other smaller.
The larger cut was deep, and the knife
stroke had severed the colon. The in
ternal hemorrhages could not be stop

some time with his brother, Martin

George streets, and had been melancholy
and morose for several months. Medi-
cal Examiner White called at the hos
pital last night to view the remains.
