Just how the .gccident happened is not known as SMr. Carlson Is unable to relate it and ttthere were no eye witnesses at the scene,
 Car Partly Submerged The water in the brook at this point Is about two feet deep and more than half of the car was submerged. J. A. Frawley, motorman oh a New Britain bound Berlin trolley car. is believed to be the first who saw the accident and when he reached the Ash street telephone booth of the Connecticut company he phoned the New Britain police to the effect that an automo- bile had turned over at the bottom of Sand Bank" hill.
 Husband Escapes Same Fate.
 Passing autoists stopped to give aid. Mir. Carlson in an unexplained man her had managed to escape from the enclosed car but his wife, who is be- lieved to have been pinned beneath, the steering wheel, was unable to ex- tricate herself. ". N. v <.
 When the call was received at the, New Britain police station Chief Will liam Q. Hart and Chief, WflIianf J. Nobld of the fire department went to the s9ene. Volunteers meanwhile had attached heavy rope to the partly submerged car and pulled it out of}the waters sufficiently to allow Mrs. Carl. son to be lifted out. She was uncen- scious but still breathing.
 The, fire chiefs car was sent back to New Britain for the pu,motor. but when itthad taken the apparatus down the chief decided not to attempt to use it and ordered the woman taken at once to the New Britaine.G General. hospital but she was dead when brought to the institution. % t
 Mr.Carlson was also brought to the hospital but at 11:30 o'clock that nighttime was removed to his home.
 Death Due To Drowning.
 Dry Waterman Lyon, medical ex- aminsr, gave accidental drowning as the tause of death. The doctor ex- pressed the belief that the woman was pinned under the wheel and marvels at the escape of MT. Carlson inasmuch as the steering wheel on Ford.is on the left hand side of the car and the machine when found was turned over on the right hand side, the side on which Mr. Carlson was riding. When the Smachine was removed from it's watcry grave there was not piece of glass broken.
