zig-Zagged across State st. and
careened between two parked
cars. The vehicle struck one OF
the cars and hit a light pole be-
fore crashing into the doorway OF
the bidding between the Goodhew
Floral shop and the Mary Lee Can
dy shop.

was either crushed between the
tenders of the two cars, or knocked
to the pavement and run over. The
vehicle struck by the Bradley car
is owned by Miss Gladys Bader,
500 f. Kingsley St.
