Paris, Aug. 16.-The hhaffeur of the
automobile in which kTr. and Mrs.
Charles Fair were llillel whose name
is Brotey, returned to Paris this morn
ing. In an interview with the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press he
threw some further llgl4t on the cause,
saying:
When we left Trouville Mr.. Fair
was suffering from bronchial catarrh.
He coughed frequently on the road
and had fss of coughing which pro
duced dizziness. l noticed that the
tire of one of the hind wheels was
Debated. l realized the danger, and
jumping to my feet, leaned forward
and shouted in Mr Fairs ear, in Eng
lish:
Stop quick! Tire no good!
Mr.. Fair glanced back. but he did
not reply. Apparently he tried to
stop but in doing so he must have
made the wrong steering movement as
the machine sweryed across the road
and went in straight line for a tree.
Mrs. Fair, as she saw the direction the
machine was taking, clasped her hus.
bands shoulders with her arms and
turned her face back toward me with
a look which said plainly: I'VE are
LOST" The next moment came the
crash When | recovered, which I
did quickly | limped to the side Of my
master and mistress and with the
help of the chateau gatekeeper's wife,
extricated the bodies from the wreck.
Asked If either Of them showed any
signs of life, Brotey replied:
Both seemed to be dead, but l was
in such a dazed condition from the
shock and 50 affected by the CHASTITY
spectacle presented by the wounds on
the heads of both victims that l did
not notice whether either moved or
not The gatekeeper's wife said after
wards that Mr.. Fair moved his foot
and that his wife moved her hand as
they lay on the ground, but I did not
see these moves. The woman did not
say whether the man or his wife
stirred last,
The bodies are due TO arrive in
Paris at $50 this afternoon. They
will be deposited in the vault Of the
Church of the Madeleine until they
are shipped to the United States
