Spectator Describes Accident.
The best account of the accident
which could be secured by Corner Tru-
man I. Parker was given by Ray
Campbell, foreman at the Nash plant,
who was driving a car that had just
been passed by the death motor car.
Campbell declared that the roadster
had passed him travelling better than
rs miles an hour. Miss Robbins was
at the wheel and she appeared to be
having trouble controlling the car.
Before she could bring it back on the
road it skidded in a pile of sand and
was sent whirling to the side of the
road. 1t turned completely over, fin
ally righting itself.
When Campbell reached the scene of
the accident, he found Keul lying at
the side of the road. Near him were
the two women, both unconscious, After
it was learned that Keul was dead the
women were hurried to the offices of
DR.. Fletcher in Salem, where they
were treated and later brought to the
ST.. GATHERINGS hospital in Kenosha.
Keul Instantly Killed.
Early reports of the accident declared
that Keul had lived a short time after
the accident but later investigation
proved that he had been instantly kill
ed. The car was a roadster with an
emergency seat in the rear Keul was
riding in this and was hurled from
the car when it turned over. 1t is
believed that he may have struck his
head on a part of the car, fracturing
his skull in that way.
The remains were brought to the
Mischler mortuary on Park street
where they were prepared for burial.
Mr.. Campbell and other occupants of
his automobile who saw the accident
maintained that the car had passed
them several times and at each time
it had zigzagged back and forth across
the road before it was finally righted.
1t was said that the car had been
stopped several time and then when
it started again it would be driven at
a comparatively fast rate past the
other car. Coroner Parker is making
complete investigation and the de-
| -; e ! L. L
cred at the inquest this afternoon at
the municipal courtroom.
