Special Dispatch to The Star.


ANDREW CHAPEL, Va, May "a
Eight-year-old Hilda Shiflett died yes
terday afternoon en- route to George
town Hospital from fractured skull
sustained when she was struck by an
automobile occupied by two of the Fair
fax County traffic officers, L. L. Finks
and A. w. Mills.
The accident occurred on the Lees
burg pike, about $3.50 pm, In front Of
the general store of Mrs John Oliver
at Kenmore. Hilda had been dismissed
from school few minutes before and
was riding home in the machine driven
by her teacher, Mrs. Ruth Day. In
front of divers store Mrs. Day stopped,
the child got out, looked in the mail
box, called joking greeting to Mrs.
Day and the other occupants of the
car and darted across the road toward
the store.
No Cars in Sight.
According to Mrs. Day, she had
looked up and down the road, seen no
cars in sight and called to the child
to run ahead. Suddenly a car ap-
preached over the crest of a small hill
and she looked around to see Hilda on
the road under the wheels, heard the
car pulled to a stop with a screeching
of brakes, saw one of the two uni
formed men leap out and pick up the
limp form of the child, lift it into the
car and start away. 1t was all over
before the child had even a chance to
scream. With the child's agonized
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Shiflett,
tenants on the John Oliver farm, she
later followed to Georgetown Hospital,
to learn that the child had died before
reaching medical aid.

have been at the wheel Of the car when

Of nervous breakdown, it is stated.
According to the story told by him and
Ohicer Mills to Commemorative Attor-
ney Wilson NJ. Farr, they were driving
at moderate speed toward Andrew
Chapel-approximately IS miles per

standing by the side of the machine,
and Mills also called his attention, say
ing, Watch out for that child"
Came From Behind Car.
They stated last night to Farr that
the child suddenly darted in back of
the teachers machine and across the
road In front of them, that FinkS ap-
piled the brakes as soon as he saw her
run, and that the car stopped within
is feet from the point of impact. Oficer
Mills returned to the scene of the acci-
dent soon after 1t occurred to measure
the marks on the road. The road at
this point has been freshly tarred and
gravelled and he stated that the brakes
did not hold as well as on an old road.

rear of the store at the time of the ac-
cident, said the crash with which the
brakes were suddenly applied was audi
