clutch at the wheels The father saw
that a collision was imminent. and made
a rush to the seat wl?tra his TWO small
children were seated. He showed the boy
in front of him toward the rear of the
car through the smoking compartment
and grabbed his small daughter prepara-
tory TO making his way toward the rear
door. when the crash came. The daugh-
ter was thrown out of her fathers arms
at the impact and according to the story
the boy told after the wreck. the last
thing he remembers was the sight of his
little sister being hurled under a seat. The
boy was evidently sent flying through the
air by the momentum. and when he re-
covered his senses found himself lying
on the ground fully fifty feet away from
the scene of the wreck.
George Wadsworth motorman of the
empty" was seen last night at his home,
1913 Benning road. Discussing the hor-
rible disaster he said:
My only salvation rests on whether
Bernasee. my conductor. preserved the
orders we received last night My own
orders were lost. and l am still too con-
fused as to what happened to recall 4
word of them. When a man has gone
through what haye-when he has looked
almost certain death in the face-details
don't count for much.
"One thing / am positive of. and that Is

l was to have stopped at Best's Gate. but
l had no time to get there. The first
warning / had after rounding the curve
at Parole was the headlight of the ap
preaching special.
Shut Off Current and Jumped.
''One of the first things a motorlnan
learns to do is to switch off his current
suddenly. This 1 did, and jumped off.
My mind is not quite clear, but the
other crew certainly had orders different
from mine. or they failed to carry out
their instructions"
Wadsworth stated that his physician
had told him he would not be able to put
his feet to the ground for at least a
month.
When told that the coroner at An
napolis was anxious to learn from him
exactly what his orders were, in order
II place the responsibility Tor the wreck,
Wadsworth declared
I'm not keeping anything back. The
wreck was all over in moment. and
other crew disregarded their orders. When
l threw on the brakes and heard them
catch that was all / could do. and it
wouldn't have made things better by not
jumping"
WadSworth was brought to this city at
o'clock Saturday morning in an un-
conscious condition. His injuries consist
of bruises, a spraned ankle and a dis
located arm, and possibly internal hurts.
