A fireman sitting on a bench
in front OF Number % Engine
House idly watched a Ihree-ton
District government truck run:
hing at twelve or thirteen miles
an hour down Porter street.
Az the vehicle approached the
.crCsswalk at the west side of Con
necticut avenue a lady appeared
as though she had sprung up
from the ground" he said, about
four feet from the truck and d.
rectly in front OF it.
The driver swerved his car into
the curb, raised himself from the
seat and threw his, weight on the
foot brake.
There was siekening lurch OF
tho machine as /the front wheel
went over something black on
the crosswalk, and the fireman
carry the body into the engine
house.
Another witness testified that
he had stopped on the east side
of Connecticut avenue opposite
Porter street; that he was dodg-
ing automobiles on his way across
the avenue to the drug store on
the corner; that his attention was
drawn TO the truck by it's sud-
den swerve toward the sidewalk;
that it was running about twelve
miles an hour; that it lurched
forward and he saw the body
lying there where the wheel had
passed.
The police sergeant read the
incidental-how they tested I've
- brakes of the car and found them
: in excellent condition; the garage
boss testified that he had ex-
anined the car, brakes and all
that morning, and everything was
mechanically correct; that the
District does not allow a car to
leave the yard until it has been
thoroughly examined. The driver
had. held a District permit for
seven years: had been employed AS
a chauffeur throughout that time,
and no testimony was given that
he had ever been convicted of
violating any of the Districts
traffic regulations.
The jury's verdict was "a"ct-
dental death"
That case is disturbing. 1t is
ominous and sinister.
The machine was driven accord
ing to the regulations-well with
in the legal speed: the brakes We're
in good order; the driver was
alert and did all that could be
done, according to the testimony,
TO avoid the accident: a Jury of
six responsible citizens, after hear
ing and considering the testimony
of all the witnesses, declare the
driver blameless; the lady was
where she had a right to be-On
the crosswalk. And she was
crusted to death.
If such a gruesome thing as that
is unavoidable. then Washington
