Hughes of Pomona, seriously.
This particular joy ride proved to
be terribly serious affair. Mr.
Hychew was a wealthy bachelor.
The accident could not have hap

state law that requires all autos to
come to full stop within so feet
of railroad before attempting to
cross.
No blame attaches to the train
crew.
