Additional information, not
available at press time yester-
day, obtained this morning con-
corning the demolition of a
poinciana tree at the corner OF

automobile, sweryed from the
road to avoid striking another
car.
MIR. Gwynn was driving north
on Whitehead street and another
car driven by Juan Lopez, was
going west on Southland. See
ing the other car starting to
round into Whitehead, Mr.
Gwynn applied the brakes and
the ground at that point being
wet and slippery, the car skidded,
ran over the sidewalk, mounted
the curb and crashed into the
tree.
