VICTIM OF AUTO LEFT
To DIE BY ROADSIDE
Aged Man Discovered Fatally
Injured, Tied Blanket.
WAGON SMASHED BY MACHINE.
The Occupants of the Automobile At
ter Striking Man Promised to Return
With Medical Assistance, But Never
Came Back.

New York, Nov. 19-Brutal inhu.
man1ty marked the treatment of ia.
cob Clemons, a farmer of Weatchester,
65 years old, who, after being run
down and fatally injured by an auto,
mobile, was pinned up in blanket and
left lying at the roadside. while those
responsible for his injuries went on
and left him to die alone.
Clemens was found on the Pelham
parkway between the Williamsburg
and White Plains roads by John Val
entine
On pulling the blanket away from
the face, Valentine recognized his
neighbor, Clemons. The eyes of the
injured man were half open and he
was breathing strenuously. The back
of his head was bathed In blood, which
had stuck to the blanket Later it
was ascertained that his skull had been
fractured
Just at this time a bakers wagon
drove by. The injured man was placed
in it, and Valentine and the baker
started to drive with Clemons to his
home. A hundred yards from the
place at which the body of the un
conscious man had been found wag
on was found drawn away from the
road, the horse tied to a tree.
The wagon had been baSIy smashed,
and this at once conveyed an idea to
the trapper, who examined the wagon
and then made careful investigation
Of the road nearby.
In the slightly muddy road the story
Of the tragic happening was told as
plainly as though in print.
Coming from the west were traced
the marks of the wheels of heavy
automobile.
From the other direction they traced
the wheels of the market wagon OF
the farmer and then in the mingled
marks of the two sets Of wheels read
the story of the collision which threw
Clemons into the road, causing his far
tai injuries.
The farmer had evidently been
thrown out under the wheels Of the
automobile.
What followed is purely conjectural,
but it is evident that the injured man
was picked up, wrapped and pinned in
the blanket and then placed by the
roadside, while his horse was led away
hack from the road and tied to tree.
That the automobile had been Slightly
injured was shown by the imprint in
the mud of wrenches and other tools
and small puddle of gasoline
DR.. John e. verdon, of Ferris place,
Westchester, could do nothing to re-
lieve the injured man. His skull had
been fractured and his great age pre-
vented an operation of any sort.
