on the night Of January q, accord
ing to the ruling in police court to-
day of Assist ant Prosecuting Attor-
ney Robert J. Stack. who continued

schow of SIS North Pond street was
nolled by the prosecutor.
The accident was one of the most
unusual investigated by the police
in years. Mrs. Parker was crossing
North Main street near the Nortt
street corner when she was struck
by an automobile and knocked
down. Mr.. Simon, who was operating
his car northerly. stopped. pickle
the injured woman up and took her
to the hospital. where he informed
attendants that he had struck her.
according 70 the police. Wartschow,
who was procee ding southerly. also
stopped his car and after the wo-
man was placed in Simons car. pro-
cecded to his home. Shortly after re-
porting the accident at police head
quarters, a doubt entered Simon's
mind as to whether he had struck
the woman or whether Wartschow
had and the latter was then called
in for invest igation. He denied all
responsibility and nothing further
was done until the hearing. This
morning.
IT is believed by the police that a
civil settlement will be made.

mcnted by citizens OF the city inter-
