Car Is Twisted Around But Remains Upright; Dispute Follows Whether Gate w as Being L o W ere d at Time.
Tender Declares Cars
 Were Driven on Tracks While Bars Were COm- ing Down-Truck Opera tor Stops Six Inches From Rails After Skid.

Carl Carlson, r. of 2G West Pearl street, while driving his touring car in a northerIy direction over the Elm street grade crossing about S;15 o'clock this morning, was thrown several feet but escaped practically uninjured, when vest bound passenger train, known as the Danbury Fair special, struck the right front fender of his car, dam- aging it extensively.
 Carlson complained of a pain in the back near his left side. and the sole of one of his shoes was prac- tically ripped off, but otherwise he bore no marks of his experience, and his clothing was hardly soiled. His automobile was turned almost completely around but was not up- set. The front end was completely wrecked and the part of the body r ar the drivers seat was tele- scoped.
 Said Gates Were Not Down
 Carlson told the police that the gates on the south side of the cross- ing were not down and he thought it safe to drive on. He did not see the train, nor did he hear it until it struck his machine. He was dazod but not rendered unconscious and within short time after the accident he appeared to have re- covered from the shock. But for the fact that he was thrown clear of the wreckago, he might have been seriously injured. in the opinion of the police.
 Stefan BielinsN of PCT Glen street was driving a truck over the crossing and Carlson passed him on the left. Bielinski told the police he saw the train in time to stop his truck six inches from the track, but he did not have chance to warn Carlson and the latter's view was probably obstructed by Bielinskis truck. Bielinski said the gates on the south side of the crossing were not down when he drove onto the tracks.
 Gatcman Tells of Lowering Gates
 Patsy ApruZzese of A Doris street, who was in charge of the gates, claimed that the south gates were being lowered when Bielinski's truck and Carlson's car passed. The north gates were lowered to shut out traffic going south, but Apru- geese delayed dropping the south gates in order to allow the south- bound traffic to clear the crossing. a few cars havin" entered before the north gates were completely low cred. He was positive, however. in his statement to the police, that the south gates were partly lowered.
 Joseph Bosco of 342 Washington street. who is also employed by the railroad company on the gates, heard the bell in the tower before the train approached the crossing. and he sounded his whistle as a signal to Apruzzese. He saw tho south gate start to come down. he said. and Bielinsli's truck and Carl- sons car "sncalcd" through.
