Others Escaped With Bruises Whom
Automobile Struck Stone Wall

Saunderstown, r. l., Aug. CIV.
w. Merrill of Boston. State street
broker, and Eric Landstrom, a chauf-
feur, were killed by the overturning Of
an automobile which collided with a
stone wall at a sharp curve in the road
leading to Narragansett Pier. -Four
others occupants of the touring car es-
capped with slight injuries.
The party Of six had left the Hotel
Newcliffe at Newport in +. l.. Mill
ken's large touring car for Narragansett
ller. Merrill was riding on the front
seat with Landstrom, and the latter it
is said. was thoroughly familiar with
the road. Mr. Milliken believes that
something was wrong with the brakes.
while the chauffeur hurried to shut on
the power, the big car was swinging
around the curve, the abrupt turn
throwing it bottom side up. The mo-
mentum was sufficient to carry it in this
fashion across the road against stone
wall. Merrill and Landstrom, being
caught beneath the car. were instantly
killed. The four occupants Of the
tonneau were thrown considerable
distance but with the exception of Miss
Rita Milliken, whose wrist was badly
hurt, they escaped with minor cuts and
bruises.
Mr.. Merrill was the head of a stock
brokerage company bearing his name
at 53 State street, Boston. Eric Land
strom, the chauffeur, leaves a widow
and four children in Mattapan. He
was 40 years old.
