Georges county farmer. who was
thrown from his wagon and killed near
the east end of the bridge over Ana

the accident was not fixed. and Haw-
kins was discharged from custody.
1t was brought out at the inquest that
the farmer had lighted lantern fast
ened TO the front axle of his wagon, but
occupants of the automobile and pedes-
TRANS declared they were unable to see
the light. During the taking of tes-
timonv it was also brought out that the

number of gardens in which no planting

hurried.
There are large areas of land on the
outskirts OF the District which are wait
ing for some one to cultivate them If
these areas cannot be planted in intensive
garden crops they should be planted in
some food crop. Many of these areas
can be put into good condition for late

called two or three other accidents
that had happened to automobiles near
the foot of the long. steep grade lead

his automobile struck the rear end

Statement by Hawkins.
Hawkins told the jury that his car
was going at such a slow rate of speed
that he was able to stop it almost the
moment the collision occurred. Police
man Lucas explained that Hawkins as

caring for him until he died and his
body was taken away in an ambulance

which the runaway horses had broken.
Mr.. Brown. he said, called: Hello,
there!' and tried to raise himself from
the ground. but was able to do so.
Conflicting testimony was given as to
the location of the wagon on the road
when the automobile struck it. Police
man Lucas said it was near the middle
it was to the right of the auto. All
the witnesses who saw the wagon and
paid attention to it declared the Ian
tern was suspended from the front
axle, and did not serve as adequate
protection. for the reasoU that it could
not be seen by persons approaching the
wagon from the rear.
Of Interest to Motorists.
A copy of the verdict will be for
warded to the District Commissioners

that they will transmit it to Corpora

the motorist, land many more are mar
