 ly Injured as the result of an auto accident on Queen street Sunda, morning, is now reported as much i'm. proved.
 An investigation of the accident in which Mrs. Lorenzo was injured, brought out the fact that 1t was un- avoidable. The machine, which was being driven by Anton Nigro, was rounding a curve in the road near Dunham's bridge when a tire on the left front wheel became loose and fell oif, causing Nigro to temporarily loose control of the car. The machine was overturned, pinning the occupants be- meath it. A hole was punctured in the gasoline tank and the people pinned beneath the car were drenched with the liquid. The gasoline falling on the exhaust pipe caused the machine to burst into flames. Passengers on the trolley car that was passing by re- leased the occupants from their pre- carious position, saving them from what would probably have been 8 horrible death. The machine was a total loss.
 Dr. l.. H. Frost of Plainville was called to the scene of the accident and ordered Mrs. Lorenzo removed 10 the hospital. It was feared that her injuries might prove fatal.
 The condition of Nigro, who suffer- ed decorations of the face and body. is also reported as considerably inn proved.

 ACCIDENT VICTIM
Custaye Kahn of Hartford Held on
 Charge of ManSlaughter
HEARING THURSDAY NIGHT
Drove While Drunk; Will Appear fin Court Wednesday-Meeting Of Dis- trict Committee Tonight-A. and F. to Establish in Kcnsington.

Bennie Keschelski, 2s years of age, of 59 North street, New Britain, was instantly killed last evening about 6 o'clock, as he was walking along the turnpike in the south end of town. He was struck by an automobile driven by by Gustave Kahn of 1ss Kenyon street, Hartford. Kahn was arrested and is being held in s1,O0O for a hearing in the Berlin town court Thursday evening, charged with manslaughter and reckless driving.
 Keschelski, accompanied by Carl Azue of the same address in New Britain, was walking north on the pike, having been to visit some friends, Traffic was exceedingly heavy and when the two men reached point near the home of Alexander Bruce, Kahn's car came along from the rear and struck the victim, He was thrown to the side of the road and landed against pole.
 The Meriden ambulance was called, but the victim was lifeless few min utes after the accident. In short time officers Frank Brown and Or vile yentres of the Berlin police force arrived on the scene and placed Kahn under arrest.
 The man walking with Keschelski claims that the victim was walking on the left side of the road. Sev- eral motorists who came along, con- test this statement, saying that the man was walking nearly in the mid- de of the road when he was struck by Kahn's machine.
 pr. Roger M. Griswold. medical examiner for Berlin, viewed the body and gave permission for its removal to B. c. Porter's undertaking parlors in New Britain. T
 An autopsy was held today and it was found that the man had sus- tained a fractured skull and broken back.
 Although there is no evidence to support the statement, Dr. Griswold is of the opinion that Keschelski was thrown a distance of IS or 20 feet. Kahn claims that he was travelling at a rate of about 30 miles an hour.
 Constable yentres found that the car traveled a distance Of 1s6 feet and skidded a distance of 25 feet be- fore if stopped. It appears that the men was struck on the left side of the road and that the car then went l over to the right and stopped.
 Driving Under Influence.
 Horace A. Mitchell of Bridgeport | was arrested Saturday night by Con- stable Orsflle Nentres on charge of driving while under the influence of Iiauor. He was taken to the New Britain police station and locked up. He vas released yesterday under bonds of sz00. He will appear in the Berlin court Wednesday night.
