resting on the end Of the left for

knocked from the wheel and the rim
lay on the ground. The radiator
bar was twisted and there were

pened and who was to blame seemed
to be question in dispute. The
other car belonged to Mr.. E. J. Do

gentlemen. It was driven by Mr..

was the only occupant Of his car.
1t was claimed that the Domergue
