The body of William S. Franklin, sf, of Harris. R. L was taken from the undertaking rooms of F. c. Tiliinshast Sunday by a Phoenix. R. I. undertaken and conveyed to that place. Harris IS the young man who was killed at Freneh's crossing; on the state highway between Central Village and Plainneld' about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, when he ran the motorcycle he was driving up an sunbanlxnent bordering the railroad to avoid being struck by the locomotive os ertra freight No. 309, bound from providence to Willimanttc. The machine u,ifh sidecar attached, tipped over, burIinx Franklin out and against the train. He was instantly killed, the top of his head Being torn of.
 Nrirs Alice Supdeid. IS, of Phenfx, uho vas rding in the sidecar of the Franklin machine. was also pitched out when it overturned and was badly in i,Sred. though it was stated Sunday that sba was resting as comfortably as could he expected at the Day Kimball hospital It had not been definitely determined up to Sunday whether Miss Scoheld sus- tained internal injuries. in the accident, If this proves not to be the case, her recovery within a short time is anticipat- ed
 rho accident was another in a long Series of grade crossing affairs in this mart of the state in which motorists have been l<iNed and injured. Franklin and Miss Soofield. probably not very fanli- liar with the road over which they were travelling, evidently on 8 little pleasure trip. were said to have been riding along at smart clip when Franklin saw the approaching train and did his best to escaps disaster It is evident that he applied the brakes and swung the ma chine sharply at right angles with the highway and parallel with the railroad sensing that he did not havs timeA to bring the machine to stop. As the machine shot up the embankment 1t top pied over, pitching Franklin to his death Coroner Arthur G. Bill of Danielsor was notified and went to the site of the fatality He gave permission for the removal of the body of Franklin tc Central Village and directed that Misi Soofeid be taken to the Day Kimbal hospital, from which an ambulance had been summoned. Before the arrival oi the coroner someone had telephoned tt Norwich and the ambulance of the Back Is hospital rushed up to Plainfeid. Coro ner Bill would not permit the remova of Miss Scofeld to Norwich, later ex blaming that such removal would talk her out of the county in which the ac cident had occurred and in case of he death would mean that the inquest woult be held within New London county. Th cononer expia med that in several case where such removals of injured person from the county has been permitted anl their deaths later occurred that an in finite amount of difficulty has been ex perienced in clearing up necessary in vestiEations and it was to avoid sucl possibility in this particular case tha he insisted on the removal of Miss Sec field to Windham county hospital = either the Day KimbaN at Putnam or St Jossph's at Willimantic
