MoT0RMAN INJURED BY
NOT SEEING OPEN SWITCH

An open switch. which Motorman
Charles Metro failed to notice in time
to slacken the speed of his car, caused
an accident at Foster Centre yesterday af-
ternoon, in which he was painfully in
Jured and the front vestibule OF the car
demolished
Metros shoes and the greater part Of
his clothing were torn off, but, although
his injuries are painful, they are not se-
rious.
The motorman was assisted TO the office
OF Dr. Henry Arnold at Foster Centre and
later was able TO go to his home on the
Killingly road, near the city line. Metro
is said to be one of the oldest motormen
on the line and considered careful.
