ments before the accident occurred.
Mother Is infirm AMI slow-footed,"
said the daughter to an Evening World
reporter. She has been spending her
winters Of late In Italy. and the recent
cold weather crippled her greatly.
with my twelve-year-old brother
Salvatore she left the house at I o'clock
last night. Mother ard I married broth

No. 4o2 Van Brunt street.
Joseph Pcllene, a painter, walked
down the street with the two, but left
them at Fourth avenue. Salvatore did
not see the car approaching along Third
avenue at lightning speed. and mother
was struck and knocked down before
he could pull her out of It's path.
while there was a fender on the car
my poor mother was dragged for sixty
feet before the motorman shut OF the
electric current. She was killed almost
instantly. as the car vas crowded with
passengers bound for the ferry. and
therefore heavy and uncomfortable"
The speeding of cars along Third ave-
nue. is a common practicc, according TO
residents along that th~oroushfare.
There have been numerous accidents as
a result, mostly children. and the resi-
OF the vicinity look upon the
trolleys with almost superstitous
dread. The excuse or the company mas
been thai the patrons OF the line de-
mand prompt ferry connections.
1t is stated by passengers on the car
which killed Mrs. Dassoni that the mo-
torman. George Ward. in his excite
ment, surned on the current 10 a great
er speed instead of shutting 1t on. The
wheels OF the car passed completely
over the body OF the aged woman. The
