Ford touring car, was almost in
stantly killed this afternoon at 2.45
as she drove out of Western Avenue
[onto Water street, directly in front

The electric hit the automobile al
most directly in the middle and car
lied it, for a distance of about 40
feet.
Within few feet of the place
where the car hit the, auto there
is telephone pole. which was
broken Off as the electric pushed the
automobile against it. The woman
was apparently thrown against a
second pole about 100 feet beyond
Deputy Sheriff william Cole who
was riding upon the trolley car
rushed to the side of the woman
who breathed but few moments
after the accident. She was badly
injured, the skull being crushed, the
face severely lacerated, the right
arm and one thigh being broken.
The clothing was nearly stripped
from the body and Mr.. Cole at once
covered it up to await the arrival of

could be ascertained was the only
eye witness to the tragedy except

driving the electric stated a short
time afterward that she was seated
near her sitting room window at the
time. She had previously seen Mrs.
Berry talking with Fred Robbins on

impending tragedy Mrs. Berry was
driving at a moderate rate of speed
toward the crossing. The electric
car was coming and Mrs. Kilgore
stated that the motorman blew the
whistle "a number of times" al
though she could not state exactly
how many. She noticed that the
whistle blasts were not short ones
but were fairly long.
Apparently, according to Mrs. Kill

see, she did nothing to stop the car,
at least not changing sher position
