Dr. V. H. Storey, the coroner, an- nounced that the cause of death in © each case was a fractured skull al- though Nathan Ruffbinoff also had several limbs broken and badly lac- erated, Mr, Abate will appear be- fore Magistarte Ward on Tuesday September 17th at three-thirty How Accident Occurred From what can be gathered from the drivers of the cars in the acci- dent it appears that the American car was going west and the Toronto car east towards Pcterboro when a car that had been stationary com- menced to move just as the Toronto car reached it. In trying to avoid a smash Robert Abate, the Toronto car driver endeavoured to pass it and sighed into the American car. W. H. Birks, Chief Venton and Constable Blackwell were called and arriyed on the scene in a very short time. On their arival they found five or six lads and men in a semi-cons- cious condition. The injured parties were conveyetl to the Bowmanville hospital, and Wetsticn was placed on the operating table as soon as he reached there. All the doctors could do for him, however was uscless and he passed away at four-thirty with- out regaining consciousness. His par- ents arrived from the city too late to "see their boy before he died and the mother became almost hysterical in her grief. His father identified the body at the inquest. The body was removed to Toronto early Sunday morning for burial. Nathan Rubin- off's parents were with him most of thé night but werc away when he expired, Driver 'Well-Known Mr. Abate who was arrested and freed on bail is well known in the city of Toronto especially among the sporting fraternity. He is superin- tendent of the Elizabeth Street play- ground and is considered to be one of the finest coaches in the country, His work is in the east end of the city and he is literally worshipped by the boys of that section. As soon as they heard the sad news a great number of them journcyed to Bow- manville to see if they could be of any help to him, He was particularly fond of the Rubinoff lad and was his close companion. Mr. Abate told The Times that the lad was like a son to him, and during the long afternoon he; phoned the hospital repeatedly to enquire as to the boy's chances of recovery. It was not till late at night that the doctors finally gave up hope of his getting better, and it was de- cided to give a transfusion of blood but when the specialist arrived he had passed the stage when this might have saved his life. A brother of Mr, Abate offered to give his blood as he had done three weeks ago when he gave a quart of blood to save the life of a little girl in the city, Funeral Yesterday Foronto, Sept. 9--At 3 o'clock Ben Visiting Blimps Cruise "City and Exhibition Grounds on Aerial Tour. from .

The Hebrew community, profoundly shocked at the tragedy which had swept away two boys not out of their teens, gathered at the homes of the bereaved parents on Oxford and Markham strects. The sidewalks ons . either side of the streets were lined with mourners and inside the heuse was heard the wail- ing of mothers for their lost sons. A thousand people, many of them non-Jewish, attended the funeral of Ben Wetstein. The teammates who had so gaily set out on the ill-fated trip, were present, all except those who were still receiving medical at- tention, Prominent officials in the sporting world paid their tribute. S. H. Armstrong, director of city play- grounds, came from the Lake Simcoe district where he was spending a va- cation, to attend the funeral, Sad Scenes Following the Hebrew custom, the mourners walked behind the hearse. At St. George and College streets, they entered automobiles and' the cortege went slowly along Spadina, along the main streets to Danforth avenue and Dawes road. The scene at the cemetery was sad. The be- reaver father and mother, crying aloud their lamentations, stood be- side the open grave. Jewish prayers of lament filled the air. The last prayer murmured amidst the sobs of the parents, the gathering dispersed and made their way to the home on Markham street, There the same ritual took place, The streets were lined with people as the cortege made its way to the synagogue at Cecil and Ross streets. For a brief space the procession stopped. The doors of the synagogue were opened. A pray- er was said and the cortege moved NECKS CRANE AND VIGILANT AND DEFENDER SOAR ALOFT.
