tonneau, The accident occurred at 1
o'clock, and mother and child died at
the same moment in the Atlanta hos
pital three hours later.
The accident was one of, the mos.
peculiar that has occurred in Atlanta,
and appeared to be one of those bits of
circumstance which apparently are I'M
avoidable. Lyle ran his auto back
wards down the alley from his home
into the street. reversed his lever and
prepared to go ahead and turn toward
the city. An incoming East Hunter car
came over the hill at Alexander street
and bore down on the auto. Lyle at
tempted to- drive across to the right
side of the street to avoid the trolley
when the rear of the auto damned

to send the car ahead Of the trolley to
safety, but the auto would not move
and the crash followed. The automo-
bile was TANNED into the curbing and
against a post, badly smashed by the
impact.

Mrs. Lyle and little Margaret were
hurled into the air, over the side OF
the auto, and directly in front Of the
trolley car which was still grinding its
wav through the wreckage of the mo-
tor. Baby Margaret fell in the track
and both her legs were severed near the
hips. Mrs. Lyle was wedged under the
trucks and fatally crushed.
Lyle sprang from his seat, seized a
small automobile jack from his tool
box and worked in a frenzy to raise the
heavy street car from his wife's man
gled body. At last he succeeded, and
fainting from shock and exhaustion
was lifted into the ambulance beside his
wife and rushed TO the hospital, where
Baby Margaret had been sent several
minutes before.

Mrs. Lyle did not lose consciousness
but it was clear from the first that she
