car at the first door handle and thrown to the ground. Hough sus- tained injuries from which he died at St. Mary's hospital on November il, 1897. Judd immediately stopped his car, placed Hough in the back seat and reported the accident to Patrolman Daniel Namack, then do- ing duty In that section. Judd, with the officer, then proceeded at once to St. Mary's hospital with Hough.
 Insofar as have been able to as- certain there were no eye-witnesses to this accident and there is no evil dence that Judd operated his car recklessly or in such a manner as to endanger persons on the highway.
 I find, therefore, that the death of the said George Hough was due to a fracture of the skull. lacera- ton of the brain, arm and scalp but that said injuries and death were not due to the criminal negligence of the said Howard F. Judd.
