 repairs to his automobile when a car owned and driven by A H. Barker, of Waterbury, came along and sideswiped the Johnson machine, ripping off the back fender and demolishing the rear signal light.

Killourey who visited the site of the accident While he was there, another machine and milk wagon proceeding in opposite directions, came together.
