SECOND MAN
ONLY SHAKEN UP

One man was instantly killed and

tomobile crash on the Wilmington

lie is believed to be a former resi-
dent of Chester.
McComas was a passenger In the

accident, said that while travelling
at fair rate OF speed. the lights
OF his machine went out and before

Il had plunged into a ditch along the
road and turned turtle.
McComas was caught beneath the
upturned car. His neck was broken.
He was pronounced dead by DIR. w.
II. Belts. of Chadd's Ford, who was
summoned to the scene OF the trag-
edy by members OF a rescue party.
Deputy Coroner r. p. Cloud, of
Marcus Hook. took charge of the
body.
Chance said that he knew very
little concerning the dead man. He
said that McComas had /been en-
ployed by him during the past three
or four weeks in cutting lumber.
The man had very little to say con-
cerning his past and. while he hint
ed he was from this city, he had
never told his exact address.
When the clothing of the dead
man was searched, a receipt for poll
tax was found in his pocket. Dep
uty Coroner Cloud will make every
