ice say that Mr.. Mann was emerging
rom Warren street and that the driver
4 the Saxon, whose name they did not
earn, was going up the avenue when the
teamer crashed into il broadside. The
ollision had the effect of unsesting the
river of the Saxon, while the little car

rrived, the smaller car was standing on
Is side, with the body badly jammed
nd two wheels bent under the running /,

he officers themselves were unwilling to
K the blame after an investigation of
he accident. Mr.. Msnn's car was un-
amsged.
