The accident happned at the
intersection of Euclid avenue
and East 30th, just two blocks
from his shop.
Cleveland police, who are
continuing investigations, re-

tions at the scene revealed that
the victim had been hurled ap-
proximately 80 feet by the i'm
pact. One of his shoes was found
10 feet from the point of the
collision and the other shoe was
found seven feet away. His
wristwatch, found 48 feet away,
stopped at 3:11 a. m. His trousers
were almost completely torn off
and his left leg was almost
seevred at the knee. Examination
