JaCroiX said he was driving about eight or ten miles an hour. It was a rainy night and although he peered ahead through the windshield he was bothered by the light from the trolley car.
 He did not see Mrs. Horger and did not know his machine struck her until he heard shouts of Stop the car.''
 Paul Dolyak, 262 Summ erfield ave- nue, said he did not see the machine strike Mrs. Horger. The first he knew of the accident was when he heard the screams of wor1en bystanders. Then he looked into Golden Hill street and saw Mrs. Horger there. The deceased was 62 years old and lived in Trum- bull. She was an employe of the Crown Corset Co. and was on her way to meet her son-in-law, who was to take her home, when the fatality hap pened at Golden Hill and Middle streets.
