seconds, which resulted In the child
being set on the sidewalk and about this
time Mr.. Rota grabbed Mr.. Kelly ana

man Luby happened on the scene but
the car had started for the city; so he
sent word to the station TO have the
wagon meet the car he riding alongside
OF the car until the meeting.
A search was made for Mr.. Rota. but
he could not be found, but later I'm the
