When within 100 yards from Cap
itol avenue the little Brown girl
turned to cross Meriden road. The
bus was travelling In the direction
of East Main street when the
tragedy occurred. The big power
full machine with dual wheels
flipped the child to one side in the
presence of her shocked compan-
ions. Schoonmakcr brought the
machine to a standstill within Il
few feet of the spot where she
lay. A passing car rushed her
with all possible speed to st Mary's
hospital. but there was no hope
for her.
Youthful witnesses OF the accl-
dent were summoned to appear be-
fore Coroner Monzani today for
additional evidence as to how the
accident occurred.
Besides her parents the deceased
leaves one brother, Harvey Brown,
OF the Crosby High school. Mr.
Brown Is police reporter on the
staff Of the Waterbury Republican.
Under ordinary circumstances the
accident happened on his beat
and had It been someone else's
little girl he would have gathered
the details and would have written
OF the tragedy as he has done hun
dreds Of times.
Funeral arrangements will be
announced later.
