better lighting along the car tracks.
John G. HALEY Of 2sO1 4th street north
east. the motorman Of the car which struck
Dexter and killed him, gave the most i'm
portant testimony before the coroners jury.
His car, he stated, left Berwyn for the last
trip at 1910 am. yesterday morning. Just
after passing Brentwood road, he stated,
he turned OFF all the current and allowed
his car to drift down the grade, which con-
tinues for about 600 feet. He was hold
ing the car up with a brake, he stated.
After passing over 18th street, the motor
man said, he noticed a dark object lying
between the tracks. and he said he did all
IN his power to stop the car, but was unable
to do SO, and the vehicle passed over the
body and ran thirty feet beyond it.
How far was the dark object ahead of
you when you saw it?" the motorman was
asked.
About fifteen feet

The motorman said he went back imme-
diately to see what the dark object was
and found the body of a man. Witness
