Because, he declares, neither one
could see the other, J. c. Banta, 1924
North Jackson street, lays no blame on
Henry Winters, of Meriden, because
the latter run into him with his car.
The accident occurred Friday on North
Kansas avenue. Banta had started to
tcross the avenue just as a motor truck
was backing away from the curb and
as he stepped out from behind the
truck Winters car, coming from the
north, struck him and knocked him
down. Banta kept the wheels from
running over him by grabbing the
fender. He was dragged some distance
but Winters lifted him into his car
who dressed his injuries. Banta suf-
fered severe injuries about the head
and bruises on one hip and arm. Win
ters' offer to pay his doctor bill was
passed upon as fair and generous by
the victim, who absolved the driver
Of the car from all blame.
