 Fatal Auto Accident
Waterbury Woman Killed Instantly in Crash Yester=
 day-No Arrests Made Up to Press Time Today

Beacon Falls, Feb. GA speeding car, a patch of ice under dirt and slight curve are believed to be the contributing factors which caused the fatal accident late yesterday af- ternoon on the Naugatuck- Beacon Falls road, near the turnout across from High Rock Park.
 Deputy Coroner Miles McNiff of Waterbury is conducting an inves- tigation into the tragedy in which Mrs. Elizabeth Painter, 38, of 190 Monmouth avenue, Waterbury was instantly killed, her husband, Wall ter H. Painter, 43 suffered a frac- tured leg and fractured jaw and Domenic Forino, 2S, of 294 South Leonard street, Waterbury received a fractured hip.
 The Forino car travelling north at speed of more than 50 miles an hour, according to Gene Viola, of 284 Congress avenue, Waterbury, hit dirt-covered ice while rounding a curve, skidded across the road and slammed almost head-on into the car driven by MT. Painter.
 Death was instantaneous for Mrs. Painter as she suffered a broken neck and fractured skull. Medical Examiner Dr. William E. Hill of Naugatuck said. The Painters were on the way to Pinesbridge, Beacon Falls, where they intended to visit Mrs. Painters aunt, Mrs. Prisque Valois.
 ' Viola, passenger in the Forino car, suffered decorations of the face, hands and legs. Painter and Forino are in St. Mary's hospital now, For ino having been removed there in

the Naugatuck community ambu- lance and Painter being taken there in private car.
 Terrific Impact
 That the impact was terrific was evident for not only were the hood and front part of each car stove in, but a witness, Harold M. Henlon, of New Rochelle, N. Y, said the Pain ter car jumped about three feet in the air at the time of the collision. Indication that Forino had been driving in a reckless manner prior to the accident was given by Grand Juror Francis P. Flynn of Water town who said Forino;S auto had forced his own car off the road in Seymour. Flynn took the number of the Forino car then and followed it. He had planned to report it either to Naugatuck or Waterbury police.
 The left wheel of the .Forino car was broken apparently by the im- pact, the left front fender was badly bent, the windshield was broken and t'le back of the front seat was push ed backward.
 It is thought Mrs. Painter was hurled into the windshield. Damage to the Painter car was on the left front.
 State Police in Charge
 Lieutenant William Schatzmann of the Beacon Falls state police barracks had charge of the state police investigation and Sergeant Thomas Laden assisted him. Off cers Thomas Dunn and Charles Mo- Carthy are continuing the investi- gation today.
 Up to this morning, it is not be- lieved any arrest had been made. It was the first fatal accident in Bea- con Falls in many months.
