Suffocation Causes Death
The girls death was directly due
to suffocation, the machine falling
across her body and thereby prevent
ing her breathing. This was iden-
tically the same way in which Chief
ofPolice Brown of San Jose, who was
killed Saturday morning, came to his
end
The accident was one of the strang-
est of its kind The machine was
travelling at a rate of less than 10
miles an hour, in broad daylight, and
was being driven by Sadler with the
utmost caution and care. Suddenly.
through some cause which could not
be definitely ascertained. it swung over
the embankment and turned slowly
over Those who had outside seats
instinctively flung themselves as far
out of harms way as they could. but
Miss Pardee, who was sitting in the
middle. had not time to jump clear Of
the danger.
The party were out for quiet after
noon ride. Sadler. the owner of the
machine. was at the wheel. and in front
with him sat Bryan. The three women
were in the rear. Mrs. Sadler and Miss
Thomson having the outside seats and
Miss Pardee the middle one. They had
passed through Tuburon about half an
hour before and were on their way To
Larkspur. where they intended to
lunch.
