| thewt 12l Leaker court, were this
morning questioned by Chief Of Police
Pitt and Asst. County Atty. Farnsworth
at police headquarters and told theh
story OF the drowning. Their state
inents were apparently straightforward
and there will be no inquest unless the
authorities change their minds.
When the little Matthews boy was
drowned, his 6-year-old brother Blade,
stated that two negro boys had en-
ticed them away from their home to
the reservoir and one of the boys push
ed the lad into the water
The Scott and Davis boys Tins morn
ing told Chief Pitt and Mr.. Farms
worth that they were near the reservoir
When the Matthews boys came along
and Thomas undressed and got into
the water. Young Davis said that when
the Matthews boy got into the water
ne began to founder around and the
Davis boy. thinking that the lad was
merely playing, began to laugh. This
attracted the attention of Carl Scott.
who Immediately saw that the boy
was drowning He says he rushed TO
the reservoir, took OFF his clothing
and plunged in in am effort to save
the boy S life. He said that he tried
to drag the boy out Of the water but
was unable 70 do SO and nearly
drowned himself. He said he sank
twice and then. becoming frightened.
hurried out of the water. Both boys
denied that the Matthews boy was
pushed In the water. They declare that
the lad went IN without being asked
70. a LITTLE negro girl corrobor7ated
the statements OF the two colored boys.
LIFE SAVER FAILED.
When they saw that the Matthews
lad was drowning they spread the
alarm, John Mcdonald, a construction
worker on the Emigration canyon road
was passing near the reservoir ana
hearing the cries of the boys rushed to
the place. He dived into the water
and located the body of the little boy
He brought the remains to the bank
and sent some one to notify the police
and then began working with the body.
Word came to Desk Sergeant Smith at
police headquarters that the lad had
been rescued and taken to his home.
but later a telephone message was re-
ceived asking for a doctor Chief Pitt
and DR.. F. II. Steele hurried to the
scene and upon their arrival there
found that the boy was dead.
Mr. Mcdonald. who has had a great
deal OF experience in life saving. worked
over the lad for long time in the hope |
of saving his life, but was unable to do |
so. When 1t was learned that the boy |
was dead the body was taken home |
and later removed to Joseph Il. raylors |
