which contained Lizzie Guida. two years
old. The woman appeared bewildered-
Walker blew his horn several times in
rapid succession. thinking the girl would
stop. Instead, she continued to walk di-
rectly in the path of the automobile
Walker by this time had driven his car
as close TO the west curb of Seventh
avenue as possible, to avoid running her
down. Had she stopped and given him d
chance to pass. there would have been
no accident, but she suddenly ran for
ward with the carriage. making a COL
usion inevitable.
Walker threw on his clutch and ap-
piled his foot brakes with all his
strength. SO anxious was he to let her
escape unharmed that he drove the big
machine clear over to the sidewalk and
into a tree smashing lamp on the car.
His attempts to save the girl and the
baby were unsuccessful. The forward
wheels OF the machine struck the car
riage, overturned it and threw Miss Di
MARITIME to the street
The baby was thrown under the wheels
and was almost instantly killed. Miss Di
MARITIME was badly cut and bruised by
the shock Walker leaped from the car.

tine had been taken after having her
wounds dressed She said she lived at
No. 2303 Eighth avenue, and that the
baby was her cousin and lived with its
parents at the same address. She would
not make a complaint against Walker,
who was allowed to go. Witnesses Of
the accident said Walkers car bore a
woman passenger, but she did not ap-
pear

the station house Antonio Guida, father
Of the baby, rushed IN. half crazed with
grief He said he would kill Walker if
he could find him, and tried TO get into
the captains room. where he thought he
was concealed. He was finally quieted
