OF N Isg5 Angelina Greenwood, who was
fatally injured by being struck by an
autonol5ile driven by Frederick Thay-
eF Maadsr, al 5.40 Il. NJ, Tuesday. on
Maiu street. near Appleton street, Wa

We dnesday. The jury met and ad-
journed until p. NJ. when County
Attorney Joseph Williamson arrived
from Augusta and examined the wit
nesses. After hearing evidence, the
jury reached n formal verdict to the
effect that Miss Angelina Greenwood
met her death by being struck by an
automobile driven by Meader. at $40
Z. NJ, Tuesday.
Carroll y. Perkins represented
Meader; Harvey d. Eaton was coun-
sci fer MIR. Atwood owner of the ma
chime; and VIM. K. Pattangall was at
terney for Israel Greenwood, father of
the dead girl.
The ooroner's jury was composed of
Dennis E. Sweeney. DR. H.. j. Toward
Mark j. Bartlett, Peter Fortier. David
Pooler and George Simpson.
The first witness was Miss Ella r. Cor
mier, Boutelle avenue, 10 years old
She was crossing the street from west
to east. near appleton street at the
time. Miss Cormier was not with the
little girl who was killed. Miss Cormier
left the Emery Brown store at $50 p.
NJ. and saw the lights of the automo-
bile. and next noticed a Mr.. Lee and
Teddy picking up the little girl. Then
she picked up the childs dinner box and
got into the auto with Mr. Meader and
Mr.. Lee, going with them to the hospital.
Miss Cormier could not state what she
thought the speed of the auto was. as
she was hurrying along and not paying
attention when the accident happened
The child, when she saw her. was 20 or
25 feet back of the auto, lying on her
back, with her head toward the Elm
wood, and between the car tracks. When
in the machine, Miss Cormier noticed
that the injured girl was bleeding from
her mouth and nose. The dinner box
was about five feet behind her and was
not broken. She was unconscious. The
lamps of the auto were lighted. On
eress-examination, Miss Gormier said
that it was the large lights that were
shining. She did not hear any sound of
a horn.
City Marshal John p. Baxter next tes-
tilted. He stated that the accident hap
pened at about $40 p. NJ. between APP
pleton street and the Appleton Inn. He
had tried to locate the exact spot but
could only find where Mr.. Lee thought
the place was. They found bloodstains
between the tracks. and little to one
side, about 10 inches in length. The
