Whitaker suffered a sprained back Owing to the heavy rain which was falling at the time of the accident the windows of the auto were closed so that the occupants were unable to hear the whistle of the trolly. AS the auto was nearing the crossing MT. Whitaker mentioned that it was near time for trolly to pass so the three occupants watched for the car but they failed to see it in time to pre- vent a collision even though the auto was being driven slowly. The inter urt an car was on its way to Stafford and the auto struck it near the right front step. Both Mrs. Cooley and her daughter believe that Mr. Whitaker was not responsible for the accident.
