About 25 loaded coal barges lying at

to see how close the car was. He was dunn
founded to see that the car was only a short
distance away and was approaching at
rapid speed.
The governor could not tell Just exactly
how the accident occurred. He remembered
nothing as to how he was thrown, and only
remembered assisting the president from
the carriage.
Among the other Witnesses was Mrs. Helen
II. Horton, a passenger on the car. Mrs.
Horton said the car was running at fair
speed when the collision occurred. She sat
on the front seat directly behind the motor
man. As the car approached the presidents
carriage the greater portion Of the passen-
gers stood up to get good view Of the oc-
cupants Of the carriage.
Suddenly she heard Motorman Madden ex-
claim: "Oh, my God!" He then jumped to
the brakes and worked, she said as she
never saw a man work before.
