An automobile that cost the city S2,b0o
and which Ia vet apart for the use d Borough
President Martin W. Littleton OF Brooklyn.
was wrecked at tho Manhattan end OF the
Brooklyn Bridge at o'clock yesterday
morning.
In the machine at the time were Theodore
Bagley Of 2es East Hath street. who rvns
the machine for Mr.. Mttleton. another man
and two young women. One OF the women
who gave, the name Of Margaret johnson
and said she lives at 1888 Fourth avenue.
Brooklyn, was injured.
The machine came down Centre street
toward tho bridge at q fast clip. thirty miles
IN hour, Policeman Murphy says. Repairs
arc being made to the bridge approach
and there are several heavy iron Orders
piled up at one side.
The automobile struck the end OF ono OF
the Rirders, rose In the air and came down
with crash. The front axle broke and the
wheels spread out. The machine came to
q stop as Murphy and several other police
men fastened to it.
Miss johnson sat in the front seat with
Basley. The big glass window In the
wind screen had been hooked up, but tho
shock of the collision unfastened 1t and 1t
came down ON tho head Of tho young woman
on the front seat.
The first work Of the policemen was to
get the persons out Of the wreck, and they
laid hold Of Bagley. who was nearest. He
resisted, but was finally induced to get out
Then the young woman whose head had been
cut was taken into a drug store and an
ambulance was called fr ON the Hudson
street hospital. The surgeon found 1t neo-
sssary to take few stitches in her SCALP.
She objected to the sewing, saying that
the operation would leave scars which were
likely to mar her beauty. The surgeon
went ahead, however.
Policeman Murphy arrested Bagley on
charge Of intoxication, and added one OF
about his pull. The prisoner was looked
up in the Oak street station until the Tonnbs
police court should open. The other man
and the two women who had been In tho
machine took a car across the bridge;
his sleep in the station cell and expressed
regret for the accident whom he was ar
raigned in court. :,
4He was very impudent when ! arrested
him and told me he would have borough
President Littleton take the buttons Oh
me- the policeman said to Magistrate
Breen.
Il suppose you think you can use big
pull said the Magistrate to the prisoner.
II am going to show you that q pull does
not 60 in this court. l am going TO hns
you SIS
Bagley had to send for friend In order
to nav the fine.
While In the Tombs he said that he had
come to Manhattan from Brooklyn on
Friday night to get the lamps on the ma
chine repaired. On his way to the Brook
lyn Bridge he met a friend named Peter
Cullen, who was accompanied by two
young women. He invited them to ride
and they got in the machine. He didn't
know the women, he said.
Borough President Littleton has been
tary Heffernan of the Presidents ofiioe
said that the wrecked machine was the
one used by Mr. Littleton, and that Bagley
was not authorized to take 1t out Friday
