UNCASv|LLE YOUTH DIES, HIT BY AUTO

William Daniels, 14 received fatal in- juries, Miss Georgianna Garrett, 16, had her skull fractured and has slim chances for recovery, and Miss Jessie Garrett If. had her leg broken in an automobile accident at Uncasville Sunday afternoon while Frederick Rodman, s1, who was driving the car, escaped with scarcely scratch. All are residents of Uncasville
 Daniels was hit by the Rodman ma chine and died within five minutes there after. The two young women, who are sisters-in-law of Rodman were riding with him in the machine, a runabout one holding the other on her lap All three were shot out head first when the auto mboile struck telegraph pole when it suddenly swerved sideways after hitting Daniels, who was walking in the high way.
 Shortly after the accident Constable Michael J. Hickey arrested Rodman and brought him to Norwich police headquar- ters where he was locked up to await the coroner's Investigation
 The accident happened about o'clock near the watering trough on the cross road between Palmertown and Uncas- vile. According. to a statement made by MT. Rodman, who is an oiler employ ed at the Thames River Specialties O.. he was driving towards Uncasville. when he saw some distance ahead of him two young men. one Of, whom was Daniels Their backs were towards him and they seemed to be fooling as they walked along together. Daniels suddenly step- ped out in front of the machine and was

struck before MT. Rodman could avoid him
 The steering wheel was torn from his grasp, MT. Rodman said. dnd the ma chine shot off to the side of the road where it hit head-on against telegraph pole, throwing the two young wo- men and him out. He believes that some part of young Daniels body got in to the steering gear, accounting for the way he lost control of the wheel,
 The crash against the pole brought down from it transformer It was the fall of the transpormer, according to pr. J. J.~Donohue of Uncasville that gave Daniels his fatal injuries. The young man was carried along on the hood of the machine, said the doctor and although injured in the crash against the pole, it was the falling transformer that gave him his fatal injuries. Daniels had both legs broken, his jaw broken, injuries about the head and internal injuries
 Dr. Donohue and Dr. Morton E. Fox were both quickly brought to attend the injured persons. Miss Georgianna Gar rett was unconscious She and her sis ter were carried into the home of Thom- as Doyle nearby where the physicians saw them and the priest was also sum- money. Both young women were taken to the Lawrence Memorial hospital at New London where Sunday night little hope was held out for Miss Georgianna Garrett's recovery.
 Coroner J. J. Desmond of this city saw MT Rodman at police headquarters early Sunday evening, taking a partial state ment from him. He was held over night pending further investigation.

MONTH OF THE HOLY SOULS
 SUGGESTED BY DAYS COST

Have pity on me, at least you, my friends, for the hand of the Lord hath touched me :" the exclamation of afflicted Job, was cited as the appeal of the dead still on probation, in the brief sermon delivered at the 7.30 mass Sunday by the rector of St. Patrick's church, Rev John H. Broderick. The preacher had read the gospel for the Sunday-the twenty-third after Pentecost-Matt. ix. 1928. which narrates the restoration to life of the rulers daughter by the pitying Saviour, moved by the sorrowing fathers plea.
 During November which is especially devoted by the Roman Catholic church to prayers, almsdeeds and good works gen. erally in behalf of the holy souls in pur- Gatory, who, it is the belief of the faith ful, can be aided by their loving friends on earth, Father Broderick admonished his hearers not to neglect their duty to the dead. Few there are who have not repeated the experience of the sorrowing Jairus-haye not stood by the death bed of some one near and dear, beseeching God, if such were His holy will, to restore the life just ended. If in His wisdom the Almighty Father did not grant that prayer, it may be needed to prevail upon His mercy to release from the state of purgation that same dear soul; through the prayers and good works of sorrowing hileIiiS oil cal LII, dDoNe dil' thlou5H the offering of the holy sacrifice of the mass, Christ in His pity as of old may be moved again to take the hand of the dead bid ding those beloved to awake into eternal life
 This consoling doctrine of the com munion of saints is accentuated just at this period, since today Nov. 1st, is the Feast of All Saints, holy day of obliga- tion, and tomorrow is All Souls day. This (Monday) morning there will be masses at 5, and s o'clock. the last a high mass. Tuesday the hours will be 5.30, [ and s, the last a solemn high mass of requiem for all those dead for whom their friends have requested a remembrance.
