FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT
 ON SHEFFIELD ROAD
One Chauffeur Killed And An other Is Seriously
 Injured

As a result of an automobile acci- dent on the Sheffield road Sunday night, Louis Lagrassa, AZ, is dead and John Hausslein will lose an eye. LaGrassa was chauffeur for tenn porary guest at the Berkshire Inn, Great Harrington. He is survived by widow.
 Lagrassa, in company with three other chauffeurs, Hausslein, Norman Bousse and John Hurley, went for a ride Sunday evening to Sheffield in a Buick sedan owned by Mrs. c. H. Canda of Brooklyn, N. Y. On the return from Sheffield they collided with a large Marmon car owned by H. B. Kline of Utica, N. r., which was standing at the side of the road when the Buick ran into it.
 The Buick car was overturned and Lagrassa was thrown out on the concrete road and struck on his head. Hausslein was also injured. MT. and Mrs. Kline, who were in the Marmon car, were not injured, but the car was damaged so it had to be lowed to Great Harrington. The Canda car was wrecked.
 Hurley was arrested by Chief of Police W. J. Oschman of Great Bar rington, on a charge of drunkenness and was released on bail of $500 to appear in court on September 20.
 Bousse was arraigned in court on a charge of taking an automobile without permission and was held in $1,OOO bail for hearing on Septem- Der 20. Being unable to secure bail he was sent to jail. It is claimed that Mrs. Canda, owner of the auto mobile, had given instructions that the machine was not to. be taken from the garage without her per mission, but Bousse, her chauffeur, took the car after informing MT. Kastner of the firm of Whalen 6 Kastner, the garage owners, that he was simply taking it out to try out the ,carburator.
 LagrassA's body was taken to New York Monday night. Lagrassa was chauffeur Aor Mrs. Jennie Reed of New York, who is a guest at the Berkshire Inn. ...
 Chief Oschman said that he was in possession of information as to o'where the liquor was purchased and that arrests will be made. The liquor was not purchased in Great Harrington, the chief said.
