MOTOR PARTY DASHED ON.
Paid No Heed to the Shouts OF
Others Who Saw Them Hit
The Lad,

The police Friday were looking for a
wounded 16-year-old James Kelly of
1900 Carroll street at Albany avenue and
Union street last night and then ran
away and left him lying in the gutter.
Richard Cole of 286 East Seventeenth
street and his chauffeur, Theodore
Scott found the child dying and moan
ing piteously for his mother, about 7
o'clock in the evening. Scott put him
in his machine and rushed him to the
Kings County Hospital, where he died
few minutes after arrival. He could
give no description of the machine that
hit him.
The child's father is Peter Kelly,
The boy attended school of st. Francis
of Assist, in Flatbush
Mr.. Cole and his chauffeur, Theodore
Scott, of 1927 Tilden avenue, witnessed
the accident. They saw the boy dart
from the sidewalk into the roadway and
the next instant saw the speeding car
strike the little body and toss it to one
side. The thing happened almost too
quickly for them to cry out a warning,
but when they did find their voices they
shouted for the other car to stop, but
instead of needing them the party put
on more speed and escaped.
The other members of Mr. Cole
partyswere his wife and Mr.. and Mrs.
f. L. Beh, whom the Coles We're taking
to their home at 1451 President street,
only two blocks away. They were sit
ting in the rear of the car and did not
see what happened until they heard the
shouts. When Mrs. Cole learned what
had taken place and saw the motionless
body of the boy lying in the roadway
she tainted and had to be cared for at
a nearby roadhouse.
Mr.. Cole, who is connected with a
Manhattan firm, at 1870 Fifth avenue
told an Eagle reporter today his story
of the affrir.
1--WE were taking two friends home in
the car about 6 o. clock" he SAID. 1--WE
were going south on Albany avenue and
had just topped the rise of the Eastern
Parkway when we saw the other car.
1t was going so fast that | couldn,
make out much about it except that it
was black, seven-passenger touring
car and seemed to be full. | should
judge it was going about thirty miles an
hour. 1t was about a hundred feet
away from US when we first saw it, be-
tween the Eastern Parkway and Union
street
81 saw the boy dart out from the
shadow of the electric light at that
point and start to run across the road
The people in the other car must have
seen him also. but although we were
hugging the west curb we were so near
that think they feared to strike US if
they swerved. didn't hear them
sound any warning, but the next instant
saw the boy struck and flung to the
middle of the road. My chauffeur and
myself both shouted for them to stop,
but they went faster, if anything, and
soon were out of sight"
Mrs. Cole saw the body lying in the
road ut looked just like little
bundle of rags" she said today when
seen at her home, where she was still
unnerved as a result Of the shock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beh and Mrs. Cole left
the car and went to nearby roadhouse,
where Mrs. Cole had to be attended.
Mr.. Cole and his chauffeur put the I'M
conscious boy in the rear seat of the
car, and Scott and Charles Lee of 1906
st. Johns place, who also witnessed the
accident, sped in the machine to the
Kings County Hospital. Brooklyn
