J. Luke, who met death in a tragic manner on Friday after- noon when struck in front of his home by an automobile driven Roderick Mowat, of Whitby, opened on Saturday afternoon by Coroner Dr. Rundle. Mr. Luke, the boy's father, is the caretaker of the Union Cemetery. According to the evidence produce d Mowat was at the time of the acci dent not driving in excess of 12 or 15 miles an hour. An automobile ex-| pert also testified that two of the | brakes on the automobile were practically useless. Owing to the fact that the entire afternoon was occupied by the hear-| ing of the evidence and because hi was the desire of the coroner subpoena a Toronto party who hi pessed the accident, the inquest was adjourned until this evening. Crown Attorney Farewell is aect- ing for the prosecution while W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., is representing Mowat. Mowat was released on $6,000 bail.

Driver's Story Roderick Mowat, driver of the automobile which struck and killed the lad, was thé first called to the stand on Saturday afternoon. Mow- at's counsel, W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C.. requested that the protection of the court be granted his client in that nothing he might say on oath be used either for or against him. This was granted by Dr. Rundle, coroner Under the cross examination of Crown Attorney Farewell, Mowat re- lated the story of the sad occur rence He had driven an automo- bile for four years. He had never figured in am accident before. He« had driven his preseat car for 2 years. [It was described as being McLaughlin, 45, special. One week ago Monday he had taken the car to Toronto where he had new brake linings imstalled. He thought that after his car had left the garage that it was im A-1 condition He also understood that hoth brakes were working. declared that at the the accident he was his car fin excess of fifteen miles an hour. When he saw that an accident was inewvit- able he jammed on both brakes. He thought that he had stopped his car in its own length. He claimed that . the first intimation thet the child was in the road was received when the little fellow was but a car's length away. Mowat had swerved his car quickly to the left side of the road. As this manoeuvre took place the boy also darted wo the lef and was struck down. "Was there anything to obstruct your vision and shouldn't you have seen the boy sooner?" queried the crown "I did not the child until right on top of him," was the reply. "Why did you swerve to the left instead of the right? was the next question. "Because 1 believed that 1 would surely strike the boy," witness re- sponded. "Were there any passengers in the car with you at the time of the ac- cident®" "Yes, my nephew Frank Hawes." Pedestrians' Rights "You realize that according to law that the child had as much right on the road as you had?" the crown queried. "Yes sir 1 certainly do" said the witness, * every living thing has a right and that 1 have always appreciated." "Then you are different other motorists." Farewell retorted. Witness then told how, following the accident, he had jumped out of' his car and picked the boy up and carried him to his father. He had rushed into Oshawa in an effort to find Dr. Kaiser. The medical man had already been summoned, how- ever, and was on his way to the scene of the accident. Had Brakes Repaired Charles Smith Mowat. brother of Roderick, was next called.

Here's his answer; "Because the | business men and citizens of Oshawa have faith in the town and because they are not afraid to back that faith with good coin of the realm." Evidence of the important posi- tion that Oshawa holds in the indus- trial world is the fact that the mon- thiy returns of the department of customs and excise are greater than some of the larger ters of Canada that have a popula- {tion of 100.090 or more.
