he turned sharply TO one side Of the
road. when the wheels skidded and
the machine went down an embank-
mcnt and overturned pinning Hickey
under It, 4 block and tackle had to
be brought before the machine could
be raised and the injured man taken
out.
The steering rod had crushed the
mans chest, but he retained CON

his wife be sent for. He died five
minutes before she arrived The
body was being taken from under
the car when the wife and doctor
reached the scene. .
