WOOD LUMBER GILLETTS LYE JURY BRINGS IN AN OPEN VERDICT (Continued from Page 3) past two standing cars parked on each side of the road at the same time. The result was that when Campbell applied the brakes the rear of his car skidded out in:u the centre of the road a short way and smashed into the car driven by Baldwin, This latter car swerved to the side of the road, headed for the curbing on the left hand side, smashed off two wheels 'on that side, and crashed into a telephone pole, This broke into five pieces it was learned, one of them falling with sufficient impetus to knock Mr. Pratt, riding near the curbing on his eycle, to the pavement and seriously injure him, Generally, witnesses declared that they thought both cars were adhering to the speed limit which ie twenty miles per hour, Photo- graphs taken three days after the accident of the cars fignring in the unfortunate occurrence were dis- played by Crown Attorney Mc- Gibbon, They showed several views of each car, and the street where the accident took place, A portion of the pole which was hit by Mr. Baldwin's car was also ex- hibited, Campbell was not called upon to give evidence at the inquest. Henry Baldwin, the first witness, told his story of the affair, He related that he was proceeding south on Mary Street after turn- ing on Mary from Hillcroft street. He informed the jury that he was proceeding at about 20 miles an hour, Crown Attorney McGibbon interjected a question: "Was Mary Street clear of traf- fic?" "There were two cars parked on either side of the road, and there was another car about 850 feet ahead of them," stated the wit ness, "What happened?" Mr. bon questioned, "I would have had time to pass first if the other car had been tra- velling at a normal rate of speed. But I decided to stop and let him go through." "Did you stop?" "About five or sik feet before I came to the parked cars, Camp- bell's car struck the rear fender of my gar and he proceeded on about 140 feet," "Did his car hit anything?" "It hit the curb and broke the wheels off." When asked if he had noticed Pratt, witness stated that he had seen him when he passed him a minute or so previously, He re- marked that at the time Pratt was just getting on his bicycle, Said Brakes Tested Questioned about the accident it- self, witness stated that immediate- ly his car was struck by Camp- bell's roadster, he turned and look- ed over his shoulder to see the number of the latter car. fH] thought he was a 'hit and run' drive.r" He said his brakes were tested a month before the accident, and were adjudged in first class condition. : Each witness testified as to the skid-marks of Baldwin's car upon the pavement, which was dry at the time. Chief Friend was the next wit- ness called, giving evidehce con- cerning the fragment of pole plac- ed on ekhibition, Fred Haberfield, 537 Nassau St., didn't see the accident take place, but arrived on the scene about 20 minutes afterward. He testified that the skid marks were the re- sult of the application of brakes on Baldwin's car. Dr. C. O. Miller, assisting phy- sician at the bedside of Mr. Pratt gave expert information dealing with the injuries sustained by the deceased immediately following Lis admittance to the institution. Pratt was suffering from severe McGib- shock, the doctor stated, the pain | and worst injuries being region of the stomach, When asked for facts concern- ing the post mortem, Dr. Miller said that a rupturedq bowel, a broken blood vessel, and an early stage of peritonitis were the major injuries that had caused the im- mediate death of Mr. Pratt, The condition of Mr. Pratt was such that he had no resistance to the weakening condition. Mr. McGibbon--*'Did you detect any abrasion of the skin which would betray signs of something hitting Mr. Pratt?" Witness--*I didn't find a mark on his body other than superficial in the wounds on his head and knee, The region around his stomach was void of any outward imjury. "His stomach, internally, however, was the part of him most affected." Stanley Baldwin of the Luke Burial Company was called and gave evidence superficial in that he dealt only with his part om driving Pratt to the hospital from the scene of the accident to where he was called. William Kent, 109 Elgin Street, riding a bicycle north om Mary Street. had gotten off his cycle on the east side of the road mear the spot where the first car stood. Up- on hearing the first crash of the two cars colliding, he turned and saw the Campbell car hit the curb- ing, and smash into the telephone pole. Later evidence tended to show that the wheels of the Camp- bell car were broken off upon the impact of the curbing since no marks of scraping or otherwise were found on the pavement from the place where the first crash oc- curred to the curb where the car hit the pole. Corroborates Evid The evidence of Dr. Bird, attend- ing physician upon the deceased before his death corroborated all evidence of Dr, Miller. Consider- able difficulty was evidenced in witnesses' recollections of the ex- act locations of the cars at the time of the first crash, and it was determined to use a last resort in paper and pencil which action solved the question, [ Witnesses appearing for the crown giving no additional evi- dence, but mostly being in the neighborhood of the accident were Henry Cain, 109 Albert Street, who was standing on the corner of Connaught and Mary Streets at the time Russell White, riding with Campbell in his car which crashed Baldwin's automobile, White was the first to reach Pratt after the latter had been knocked down by the flying piece of pole. After the first impact witnesses nearest the scene of the tragedy all agreed that Campbell was un- able to control his car, and that the path to destruction and death was an inevitable one, made fur- ther relentless after the two left hand wheels had been knocked off at the curbing, The Campbell car plunged its way 24 feet over the curbing to the telephone pole after the wheels were smashed off, and a full car length farther gon after breaking into the pole, W. J. Summerville was standing on the corner of Hillcroft and Mary Streets when the crash took place, and immediately hurried to the scene, rendering first ald where possible. F. J. Hinks, who was with Mr. Summerville did the same, Mrs. D, Redpath, a trained nurse residing at 492 Mary Street, heard the crash from her home, and hastened to give her services at the scene of the accident, J, E. Gillette and Donald McKay were on the spot soon after the accident, Room to Pass Mr, McGibbpn asked Mr. McKay if there was room for two cars to pass while the parked cars were still in their former positions. Mr McKay said there "was, two cars and a team of horses with a wagon had passed through a short time after the fatal happening, Robert Stirling, working on the lawn of 153 Masson Street was notified of the accident, and hurri- ed tp see his friend, Mr, Pratt, who was a fellow work#r in the Tool Room of General Motors, Mr, Pratt being foreman.

Pankhurst, the latter a photo- grapher, were successively placed in the witness box for examina- tion, In addressing the jury, the cor- oner remarked that this aceident was one of a series of accidents happening to bicyclists, This case, however, he said, was unusual in that Mr. Pratt was in no way fig- uring in the turn of events as they occurred until he was hit by the piece of telephone pole. It was difficult to believe that a car tra- velling at a moderate rate of speed could have struck another car and then have gone on and struck the curbing and a telephone pole with as great energy as did Campbell's car, THE ARCADE LIMITED Specials for | Wednesdav's Shoppers | * Just Half Day to Do Your Shopping Wednesday, We Close at 12.30, a ws aa a We would like to accept this opportunity to thank the public for their hearty support and co-operation during our Summer Half Holiday.
