Believing that she could save her boys
life by Christian Science treatment, Mrs.
Minnie Hopkins Of 500 West 123d street
went to the j. Hood Wright Hospital yester-'
day afternoon, and begged to be admitted
to the ward where seven-year-old Bruce
Hopkins lay dying from fractured skull.
He had been run over by a brewery wagon
at l25th street and St. Nicholas avenue.
Mrs. Hopkins was told that such pro-
ceeding could not be allowed, that the boy
was dying and that il his life could possibly
be saved It would be done by the physicians
did not want an operation performed until
she had gone to the First Church Of Chris
tian Science to see il she could save his
life by absent treatment.
Supt. Townley OF the hospital told
rate on the boy in less than an hour. but
that they would not wait for anything
when the right moment came to act. While
the woman was absent at the church, which
is at l4a West Forty-eighth street, the boy
died. The physicians said at the hospital
that nothing could have saved his life.
Bruce HOPKINS was out roller skating with
Herbert Evans, IA years old, of 524 West
i23d street and another boy on the asphalt
pavement in ST. Nicholas avenue. when
q brewery wagon o. owned ned, by by Bern Is
Amsterdam avenue came up the avenue
driven by Charles Noack Of SO Manhattan
street. Joseph d. Flannery, who keeps a
saloon at the northwest corner of i25th
street and st. Nicholas avenue, and who wit
messed the accident, said that young Hop
kins started to cross from east to west
with the intention Of catching on to the
taik end of the wagon to have a ride. In
NAL ing a grab for it he slipped under
the wagon. One of the wheels passed
over his head.
Nicholas Gerforst. Of 1853 Old Broadway
said that the boy started from the west
side OF the avenue first. The horses were
at q walk, and Noack said that he did not
think that the boy was going to catch on o
his wagon or he would have called to him
TO keep off.
Policeman O'Loughlin of the West 12sth
,street stationwas the first to reach the boys
side. He picked the little fellow up and
called the ambulance. The boy was I'M
conscious and At was apparent that he could
not live long. O'Loughln learned from
Herbert Evans the injured boys identity.
Their companion refused to give his name
to the policeman. He said that he had been
mixed up in a similar case, and his father
had given him a licking for telling his
name.
The dying boy was hurried to the hos
pital and his mother was notified She, at
once went to the hospital with another
woman. Az she left the hospital she was
met by Policeman O'Loughlin, who asked
her for the boys age She said she was in
