ming at a hearing and was very
 much disturbed woman because all the blame seemed to be placed on her in the first account of the story. Ac- cording to Mrs. Logan. she was not
 responsible for much of the happen
 ings of the afternoon. She says she gave warning signal on the siren to give notice of the presence of the car Mir. Babcock pulled over to the
 right, and as Mrs. Logan explained
 it last night, just as her front right wheel was abreast of the left front
 wheel of the wagon, the horse swerved little to the left, locking the left wagon wheel with the right auto
 m obile wheel AS result of this the horse became frightened and ran the wagon against the curb It was the result of this twist, according to Mrs. Logan, that threw Mir. Babcock from the drivers seat to the pavement.
 Dr. Whipple of Bristol was passing at the time and saw the accident. He gave first aid to Mir Babcock and continued to New Britain. The doctor was in court last evening. The horses head, when the accident happened, was inside the tonneau of the ma chine, it is said. There were chill dren in the car and Mrs. Logan, thinking of their safety, drove straight onward to the railroad tracks. It was neck and neck race with the horse to the tracks, after which the equine decided to veer from his course and beat a retreat up the tracks. Mrs: Logan, still in a nerv- ous condition, as the result of seeing the horses head so near the chill dren, kept on until she turned the corner of Whiting street. She denies having struck the Plainvile Lumber and Coal company's wagon, but stated that she misjudged her distance, be- cause of the lumber which was pro- truding from the rsar of the wagon, and as result ran her fender under a piece of the lumber. That, accord ing to her, was the striking which she did to the lumber wagon. Mrs. Crowley, mother of Mrs. Logan and owner of the car was in court as was her brother, who came on from New York to protect his sisters interests. The New York people had their machine attached by Sheriff NJ. D. Stockwell representing Judge B. F. i Gaffney, for Mir. Babcock. The Lo- gan people considered the accident as most unfortunate and were grieved at the injuries done MT. Rabcock | However, as they considered they were only partly to blame, they will l probably fight the case when 1t comes up for civil action.
