The automobile again got beyond

became stalled.
Chief Moore corroborated the state
ment of the driver, but differed as to
the rate of speed he was travelling

er than twenty miles an hour at the
time of the accident, and said that
during the entire Journey from his
home he kept his foot continually on
the siren whistle lever and was also
ringing the bell.
The accident occurred so quickly
that eye-witnesses differ materially
in their versions of the affair. Some
stated that the woman alighted from
a trolley car and became bewildered
when she saw the approaching auto
mobile, while others are equally posi-
tive that she walked from the side
walk directly In the path of the ma
