Beinaba complete obscuridad pues

En- primer t6rmino la imprudencia
de escoger aqu6l desgraciado lugar de
tanta exposition acaso para tomar ell
fresco, y en- segundo la obscuridad que

mentable hecho, relevando, desde lue-
go de responsabilidad al motorista,

la campana tanto como era de rigor.
Asi fu6 como entire las paradas que

tOrista que ell botayaca habia golpea-

safe, una vez que hubo detenido la
marcia el.carro:

Estas palabras fueron dichas por ell
motorista Rafael Torres, de modo inin-

los grandes esfuerzos que hizo para
