THAT she knew she had not reach'

statements OF both Mr. Vaughan ana
Mr.. Collins. Mr Collins states that
as the car stopped at the third floori
he hesita.ed momentarily to allow
Mrs Kilkenny to precede him out III
case she desired but, as she made no
sign OF leaving, he walked out OF the

agree that the car was held there an

Kilkenny as she was pitching out oil

and hastened to her aid but was too
late TO prevent the fall.
The body fell down the shaft to the
concrete floor OF the basement. The
noise OF the fall attracted the atten-
ton OF Fred Block. the proprietor,
and several other men in the lobby
They fastened to the basement and
there found the body Death had
probably been instantaneous as tho
force OF the fall had broken many of
the bones OF the body.
