Suddenly she left the curb in the middle of the block and started to cross the street. As she did so she collided with the running board of my machine and was knocked down. As she rebounded from the car her head struck the curbing and I am of the opinion this caused her death. I stopped the autonlobile within it's length and picked her up immediately and rushed her to the South Highland infirmary, where everything possible was done for her. I am grieved over the affair and regret it exceedingly think Mrs. Shep- pard was about to wave down a street car, which was approaching Thirteenth street and ran into the street to attract the motorman's attention
