Mother COllapses When Second Son
Is Killed After She Left Bronx

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. June 5.-Pathetic almost be-

two of whose children have been killed by
trolley cars within a year. At present the
grief-stricken woman driven almost insane
by her latest bereavement. is in the Harlem
Hospital, where only Few hours before her
little 6-year-old Charlie died after being
run over.
His last words were: Don't scold me,
mamma
More pathetic is the story made by the
fact that less than year ago the Ganse-
bergs lost a 3-year-old son in similar
manner in the Bronx. They had moved to
Manhattan so that their remaining children
might avoid the danger of the trolley cars.
Little Charlie, with an older brother and 4
number of other boys. had been playing tag
in the street. Charlie had been '.it' and
tagged boy much older than himself. The
other boy Stated after him to return the
tag. Charlie in his excitement did not see,

The boy then reiasped into an unconscious
state. He was attended by Doctor Donovan

legs had been severed just above the knee.
his right arm was nearly torn from Its
socket. and he suffered internal injuries.
He was hurried to the hospital and his

Mrs. Ganseberg watched the doctors while
they were trying to save the boys life.
They found it to be impossible. and told
her so. She was nearly frantic with grief.
but kept up until the end came. Then she
broke down and had to be treated in the
female medical ward.
The motorman of the car, Patrick Dooner,
25 years old. was locked up on charge of
assault. The charge was later changed to
homicide.
In periods of consciousness in the brief
time before he died the child called continu-
ally for his mother, and when she was
brought to his side he pleaded with her not
to scold him. The scene at the hospital was
one of the most pathetic the doctors and
nurses have witnessed in years.
