Calls Two Specialists.
Meantime Mr.. Allies who had reached
his home al 1920 | street northwest
was told of the accident and at once
notified two specialists to do every
thing in their power to save the in
jured man. A consultation at the dis
pensary led to a decision to operate at
once, and within an hour after the ac-
cident Fitzpatrick was taken to Elmer
genCy Hospital.
Both Miss Allies and Miss DOwans
were Frustrated last night over the aC-
cident They received the personal as
surance of Mai. Richard Sylvester that
no possible blame could attach itself
to them. Frequently during the night
they called the Emergency Hospital to
learn of Fitzpatrick's condition.
Miss Allies ExOnerntcd.
The report exonerating Miss Allies of
all responsibility for the accident was
made at O'ClOc klast night by Central
Office Detective Charles Evans He
stated that the machine was running
slowly and passers-by had been warned
before it started to descend the hill.
This report comedies with the state
ments of witnesses as made to CTeorze
Vass, secretary of Mr. Allies, who was
sent out to investigate the accident.
The two Sisters of Charity who were
in the automobile at the time had come
to Washington from Chicaog for the
Christmas holidays and were staying at
a convent in Northeast Washington
Miss Allies invited them early in the day
to make a tour OF the city with her, and
the party had already trdversed the
downtown district preliminary TO visit
to the Geological Park
UnnerVed, Says Father.
We are all unncrved by this unfortu-
nate accident" said Mr. Allies last night
but l feel convinced that no blame can
attach itself to my daughter. She has
had this machine for some time 1t is a
small machine, and she could handle it
perfectly-better, in fact, than myself, al
though l understand machines
The automobile was not re-ChargCd
last night, and consequently the power
was weak to-day. 1t was only about half
charged at the time of the accident. and
could not possibly have been running at
high speed. 1t is deep regret to myself
and members of my family that this
happy Christmas party should have con.
cluded so tragically. More than that. I
can say nothing except that I will do all
in my power to assist in restoring Mr.
Fitzpatrick to health.
Fitzpatrick was employed by the PO-
tomac Electric Power Company. HIS
