the approach of the west bound train
due in Morristown at s. 10. The trair
was running rapidly and reached
the crossing just as Lawrence at
tempted to drive over. The engine
crashed into the milk wagon, crush
ing it into splinters. Young Law
rence's body was picked up from the
east bound track, ninety feet away.
He was killed instantly. Coroner
Leonard was summoned and gave
permission to remove the body. The
back of Lawrence's head was crushed
and his right shoulder broken. The
horse was also killed, one of it's legs
being cut off. The animal S carcass was
picked up some 1896 feet from where
it was struck, or twenty five feet
west of the Madison avenue crossing.
Young Besson was thrown consider
able distance, but miraculously es-
capped with slight bruises.
Mr.. Lawrence was son of the late
James Lawrence, of Mendham, and
was the main support of his widowed
mother, and two sisters. He was
