Biddeford Veteran
Painfully Hurt When
Struck by Automobile

John lyman of Biddeford a veteran
Of the Spanish-American War, was
struck late Sunday night by a Ford
roadster driven by Clyde A. Rand of
Stetson while crossing the road on
College avenue. and quite severely in
jured. Mr. Rand was driving up the
evening when Mr.. lyman started to
cross directly in front of him. Noting
the position of the man, the driver of
the Ford veered quickly to one side,
while lyman, momentarily bewildered,
moved in the same direction. He was
struck by the bumper and hit in the
head by the right headlight and thrown
heavily to the pavement. Mr.. Rand
picked him up and took him to police
headquarters, where he gave an &C
count of the accident. The man was
bleeding from the face and seemed to
have sustained other injuries so Dep
uty Marshal Poirier took him in the
police patrol to DR.. B. Q. Goodrich.
The latter, after making an examina-
ton of His wounds, sent him to a local
hospital. Calling the hospital later,
Mr.. Poirier was informed that the man
suffered from a fractured frontal bone
and fractured kneecap. They did not
say that he was in a serious condition.
It is felt that the accident was UNI
avoidable.

RUSS BARON
Continued from PAGE One

the entertainment of the wounded of
the White Army"
The short courtship and marriage
and the hardships the young couple
endured were related to Captain
Kustoff, who writes:
ut was during these hectic days
that the Royce Carrots sealed their
suicide pact. Never free from dan
ger of capture by the scavenging Red
Army, they decided that should the
fortune of war ever put them into
the hands of the enemy, they would
die together if possible.
Weeks OF almost daily conflict
passed on into months. Incapacitated
for active service, Baron Royce Gar
rett gave the benefit of his wide mill
tary knowledge to the White Army
in an advisory capacity.
Then came the opportunity to es-
cape from war-torn Russia.
Fleeing the scourge of the Red inva-
sion, the Royce-Garretts left behind
fortune of over $5,o00.o0o in proper
ties and personal belongings. They
came to New York. Here they descoV-
cred the baroness musical talent and
training was bread-winning asset"
The fight of the Russian couple to
make living in America was related
and in commenting on it Baron Royce
Garrett said:
What an irony of fate to have es-
capped the hardships and dangers of
our native land. only to fall upon hard
times in land of apparent plenty"
Too proud to make their dire f1nan-
cial condition known, the baron told
Captain Kustoff that they struggled
on as best they could, but was bitter
in commenting on the fact while many
friends praised his Wife during her
life, that when black fortune beset
them few came to lend a helping
hand. My wife was proud. We could
not beg. She loved me; for my sake
she was willing to endure poverty
rather than leave me. She had num-
berless opportunities to leave her Grip
pied husband for a life of better cit-
cumstances. but all of them she re-
fused. For the last seven years she
has been away from me only one eht.
Several times she preached the
question of ending it all. l remon-
strated with her, explaining we
might again make money and again
find the homes of our friends and
social activities open to US, but she
was to proud to wait
The baron then related events OF
the day on which his wife leaped to
her death. telling. how he had urged
her to wait a few days until word of
a proposed concert tour in Havana
could be received to which he said
she replied:
NO. no; have lost faith in my
people. have lost faith in the
world. l see around me only the lure
of gold creed and lust"
Added to the stress Of poverty, the
baron said his wife had inherited a
depression that weighed heavily upon
her at times. She said that her par
ents had mated while both were po-
litical prisoners in a dungeon, ex-
planning that although her father
was of the old Russian aristocracy,
he was exiled to Siberia for political
reasons. II was there, he said. that
Vera was born and spent much OF
her childhood.
