a touring car and an ice train at the
North Beverly station of the Boston

ployed as a chauffeur by Mr. Mandell.
was at the wheel.
Speeding down the road at noon
from Beverly the touring car crashed
into an ice train which was standing
still The impact threw the men in all
directions. Mr.. Trask was the most
