Figured in Automobile Accident on
Tuesday Near Children's Home

Fear that Joseph Welch, local taxi
driver, may have received internal
injuries in the automobile accident
of Tuesday morning near the Child
ren's Home. had almost disappeared
this morning among his friends, who
learned by inquiry at the Day Kim
ball hospital. where he is a patient,
that his condition is improved. but
is not entirely satisfactory as yet
Mr.. Welch was returning from an
early morning trip to Providence
when he met with the accident. \
heavy fog hung over the earth and the
highway was treacherous. In making
the curve near the Children's Home,
Mr. Weleh's car skidded. got out Of
control and turned over. Mr.. WEIGH
who was alone, was pinned beneath
the car.
Help was not long in coming to his
assistance, however, and this was due
to the fact that the wiring of the horn
became short eireuited and caused the
horn to sound continuously. As soon
as enough people had arrived, the
machine was lifted and Mr. Welch
was extricated In the meantime
Officer Ryan Of the Putnam Police had
arrived and he took Mr. Welch TO the
hospital in his car, not waiting for the
ambulance.
Mr. Weleh received an ugly gash
in his left leg and numerous cuts and
bruises about his body II is strong

seriously injured.
His ear was very badly damaged.

A definite change in the plans of
