 stantly. The accident occerred about 20 yards south of the Conn. Light & Power Co. sub-staticn on the Seymour road. The operator of the trolley was Nathaniel P. Eos. ter of 2SS West Ivy street, New Haven. Mir. Foster told State Troop Victor Clark who invest. geted, that he damned on the brakes before Mrs. Allen stopped over the tracks. When he saw the dog on the tracks he attempted to avoid hitting 1t but the dog and its owner were too near the car to avoid being struck.
 Testimony Confirmed
 Confirmation to this testimony was given by two passengers on the trolley, Mrs. Henry Stepney of Ansonia and Edmund J. Fitz- patrick of Hartford. MT. Fitzpat- rick who was in highly nervous state, having recently suffered a nervous breakdown, said he felt Eo"-s for the motorman who didn't have chance to avoid hitting the woman. Tt was awful when I saw the woman step into the path of the trolley" he said.
 Mrs. Stepney said the car was travelling at moderate rate of speed, slower than other trips she had made on it, she added. She knew 'something dreadful had happened" but did not investigate at first as MT. Fitzpatrick sudden ly turned white and she went to his aid. Thinking he was going to faint.
 The car stopped a short distance away after hitting Mrs. Allen, the body passing under 1t. Mir. Foster told police and Frank Bailey, Con- necticut company claim agent, that 1t was the first serious accident he has had since he became a motor. man 24 year ago. He was quite upset by the accident. He was still being held on technical charge, pending the result of the inves- tigation.

 Her maiden name was Ethel Augusta Bellamy. She was born in Bethlehem and had lived in Bea- con Falls for the past i5 years, but had only moved to the Seymour road section four months ago.
