Judge Hangar was spending a sunny
autumn week at Atlantic City says the
Washington star, and every morning on
one Of the piers he used to see a young
lady whose face looked most familiar.
The judge prided himself on his mem

though she always studiously avoided his
eye he stopped and addressed her with
courtly politeness.

STRUCK BY CAR
YOUNG BECOMES
BLIND and DIES
He Survived Accident Sew
enteen Days-Autopsy to
Be Performed on Body
This Afternoon.

Late this afternoon Medical Exam
liner F. B. Downs and DR.. G. N. Has
kell will hold an au ,opsy into the death
of John Young. aged so. of lat North
Washington avenue. who died yester-
day. as the result of trolley accident
sustained on January 10. DR.. Haskell.
who has been treating the dead man
states that he is certain the examina-
ton will show that death was due to
a fracture at the base of the skull.
Peculiar circumstances surround
Youngs death. On The morning of
Jan. 10 Young was struck by a trolley
car at Main street and Fairfield ave-
nue.. He picked himself UP and went
to his work at the Main street plant
of the Crane Valve Co. Lac in the
to his home. Young complained of
losing his sight. and DR.. H. S. Miles
was called. The next day. DR.. Haskell
was called into the case. He found
that Young was totally blind and that
his lower limbs were paralyZed. In
his condition Young lay, until death
relieved his sufferings yesterday, IL
DAYS attire the accident.
Young placed the cause Of the ar-
cident with the Connecticut Co., al
the car. the lights were out He
claims he stepped from the sidewalk
and was struck by the car before he
knew of its approach. The car at
the time was swinging into Main
street.
Claim Agent A. B., Gould of the
Connections Co. asserts that at the
time of the accident the lights On
the car were lighted, and that the
car went but a. foot after striking
Young.
Whether the injury was caused by
the car or resulted when Young was
knocked to the gound is a question,
but it is believed his death came as
the result of a fracture. which caus-
ed him both to lose his sight and
the use of his limbs.
Shortly after the accident Attorney
George Mara was secured by relatives
Of Young, and took a deposition from
the dying man.
