for the accident p Rollins told ~.slS.
county Judge and Dr. w. 7. F1atley,
who had been named as a special adj
ministratoT of the estate of the boy,
but just the same I,want to do some
thing to show these people the sorTow
feel that an automobile an which I
was riding should Rave been ths
cause of the dsasa of a fellow
berg 7 am CRY that Z cannot
suggest that I give bis other
of this boy more, but I feel that
want to do this something to make,
if possible, this blow a little easier
for her to bear
Mrs. Glow had made no demand up
on Rollins for damages. She had heard
from the close personal friends OF
Young Glow and from other people
who had witnessed the accident ON
Elizabeth street ON Sunday afternoon,
that Rollins was in no way to blame
for the accident. The young men who
had been with Crow at the time of tho
accident, had agreed that Fred Kruse,
who was driving the automobile for
Rollins, had shown every care; that he
was operating hiR machine at very
low rate of speed and that he had tzisd
to turn the ear at the last minute in an
effort to avoid striking the boy.
Mrs. Glow fully appreciated the fact
that the son had been to blame for the
accident rather than Rollins OF the
man who had been driving his auto {
mobile and she was deeply grateful 10
the Chicago man for his demand that
he be allowed to, in part, bear somo
Of the expense of burying the boy and
closing up his affairs.
Before any settlement of the case
was made Coroner Herbert MiTageP
made an investigation into the ease.
He called Kruse, Rollins and Frey and
Petersen, the two boys who had been
with Glow at the time of the accident.
There was no effort on the part Of any
one TO misrepresent the facts in the
case. Frey and Petersen were strong
witnesses to show that there had been
no fault on the part of Kruse. Frey
declared that only second before I
Glow was struck by the automobile he
had shouted a warning to him.
In his petition to the court to settle {
the case with Rollins, DR.. Flatley
stateN the full facts in connection with
the investigation made by the coroner
and stated that while Rollins admitted
to liability for the accident and
the facts shown on the investiga
ton showed no liability on his part
that he had voluntarily offered to
make the payment.
In granting the petition for settle
ment Judge Taylor declared that Rol-
Inns had shown a splendid spirit IN
paying this sum to the stricken mother
of the young man.
The remains of young Glow were
taken to Winona on Tuesday evening
and the funeral was held from the
family home there this afternoon.
