The Ogden standard. [volume] (Ogden City, Utah) 1902-1910, 1910-01-06

Again this morning. at the begin
ming of the Investigation into the
Faut tragedy of last Saturday, the
court room was filled with people III
tent upon hearing the testimony.
The evidence pointed largely TO the
question OF the time and place of the
accident, the speed of the automo-
bile, the outcry oil the man when he
was about to be run over the call of
bystanders for the machine 10 stop
and the question as to whether IL
was possible for the man to have been
killed by having the shafts he was
carrying thrown violently against him.
Dr.. Osgood's testimony was to the
effect that the man may have been
killed by the shafts striking him. or
that the injuries found on the dead
mans body might have come from an
automobile passing over him, or by
simply hitting him.
Thomas +. Farr testified that he
heard the outcry of Faut over a hun
dred feet away, and that he also heard
the crash of glass as the machine
struck the man w. c. Hart says
that he heard the cry oh" as IL the
victim was In great pain or fright.
He then looked around and saw the
machine pass over an object chat he
afterwards learned to be man, The
shafts that were carried by Mi Faut
at the time he lost his life, were eX-
Eibited in court and examined by the
jury and the attorneys in the case.
There were two blood stains upon the
shafts.
