fatally injured Mrs. Margaret STAN
ton on North Main street the night
of July 26, is absolved OF Grim
inal responsibility In finding
handed down today by Deputy Cor
oner Walter w. Smyth.
No Excessive Speed
The deputy coroner finds that
"the trolley car having been
brought to a stop within Its own
length 1t Is clear that 1t was not
travelling at excessive speed, and
1t Is clear that the deceased, II ex-
ercising due care, must have seen
1t. She no doubt believed she had
time to cross in front of II and at
tempted to do so. However, Daley's
failure to see her may be regarded
"civilly," the finding states, Il do
not hold his operation of the troll
ley car at that time to have been
so careless or negligent as to
amount to criminal conduct"
Crossing North Main
Mrs. Stanton was crossing North
Main street a short distance south
of Easton avenue near the Alhan-
bra theater when she was struck.
Taken to st. Mary's hospital she
succumbed the following day.
