Officer Michael Massey, who was
sending in his duty call at the po-

Oquist having lowered the gates

Miss McCue was accompanied by
Mrs. James II. Curtin of l29 Black

was unavoidable. Nobody was in

the front of the McCue car, the ra-

bent.
Occurrences of the same sort have
been reported in the past, the effect
of the flashing of the red light at

sudden stopping of vehicles, and
