On cross-examination he said that
the Metcalf car had moved the heavy

State Highway Policemen Earl
Grenier and 3. +. Fowler had ar
rived there separately, but both were
there within Is minutes of the acci-
dent. While Fowler handled traffic,
Grenier had investigated the acct
dent. Grenier told of the lrk N

two cars. He said that the Metcalt

Charles c. Metcalf told OF the
events leading up to the use or the

and had requested her mother to &c
with her. They had met the young
man near the Gannett home on up
per Western avenue and had then
started back to the cottage.
| The first she knew of the accident
| was when she saw the two lights of
the Fuller car coming toward them
They did not have time to turn out
before the Fuller car hit the Nash
coupe which Miss Metcalf was driv-
! ing. She said that 1t seemed as if
something on the Fuller car had run
over or under the running board for
the entire length Of the car. The shock
of the collision made the car unman-
ageable and it had swerved across to
| their left Of the road and had collided
with a large boulder there. She had
reached for the emergency brake her
self but did not get it. She had seen
/ Fuller shortly after that, but as far
as she could tell he had not proffered
I any assistance.
! She said thai sthey were in line of
cars and were going about IS or IS
miles an hour. Just before that they
hai been well out of the road as she
had felt the rough road at the side
of the macadam surfacing.
| On crosseXamination she said that
she and Mr.. Metcalf We're joint own
ers in the car.
! Miss Metcalf testified the same as
to events leading up to the accident.
The steering wheel had become un-
! manageable after the collision and the
car had continued to work over toward
the left of the road although she had
tried to straighten it out. Fuller had
asked her why she was SO near the
center of the road and she had told
him that she thought he was nearer
I than she was. She did not remember
stating that the lights had blinded her.
The shock Of the collision had thrown
her off the seat. although she retained
her hold on the wheel and she had
| been unable to get her foot on the
brake.
On cross-examination she declared
that while her foot had been on the ac-
| celerator when she was thrown from
her seat. it was on it in such a way
that she did not think it was de-
pressed any more.
Henry +. Hill. a civil engineer, who
drew a plan Of the road. testified with

it represented.
Albert Ridley Of Lewiston. formerly
Of this city. testified with regard to
