He will obliged to report to. the Woodbury authorities and Coroner Samuel Herman Of Win sted before he willabe permittedstQ leave the state.
 The report of the physicians and the nature of Miss Henderson's in juries indicated that she died all most immediately being badly crushed in the crash under the weight of the machine.
 In explaining the accident Stew ems who was. greatly shocked over the tragedy, stated that he was not familiar with the highway and had attempted to go down the long in. cline without shifting the gears of the car. The machine gained mo mentum so quickly that Stevens slammed on the brakes in an sef- fort to retard the speed. The car swerved to one side and crashed into the state guard rail only to bound back again to the highway. It shot across the road to the op- posite side and struck with such a terrific impact as to overturn, crushing Miss Henderson and Mrs Ramsay.
 The party was on its way back to. Wilkesbarre from Providence. R. l., where they had visited friends. Mrs Ramsay and Miss Henderson were nieces of Mrs Smith.
 No report of the accident was made to the Waterbury police con corning the crash. The Waterbury hospital sent it's ambulance to the scene when word was received that serious accident had occurred. Stevens and Mrs Smith were brought to the hospital in cars that happened to be passing the scene shortly after the crash.
 The accident was similar in de- tails to a recent crash in which we'll known young woman from Danbury was killed not far from the scene of to-days crash on sherman Hill.
