GE TEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1931 ATH OF ALBERT NORTHCOTT SAID TOBE ACCIDENTAL _ © (Continued from page 1) 'fully conscious. His death was Jused by shock and the injuries he ceived. "Velma Solomon, who was with Miss Sellick, confirmed the evidence that the bell and whistle of the train were both sounding. . hn Selleck, of 307 Mary street, i was also standing in the Solo- n yard at the time of the accident, said that he believed the car to be "travelling at 40 miles -~er hour just re the accident. The car seem- to slow up just before the crash. le assisted in extri~ ° Northcott fro-- the wreck. Herbert Elliott, «+n resides just at crossing whére the accident «c- , said that he could not estim- "the automobile's speed. He did ot see the actual crash, He heard histle blow and the hell of the train ringing, and estimated the train's speed at 15 miles per hour. Ford Bennett, a young boy of Five i. Points, who was standin~ in the Sol- omon driveway corroborated the evi- dence of the other witnesses. i Conductor's Evidence J. H. Flesch, conductor of the train, said that the weather at the time of the accident was clear. The car was not dragged by the train hut as struck and knocked into the ditch. The train was travelling between 12 and 15 miles per hour at the time. Timothy Howard, engineer in charge of Locomotive 831, drawing the train, said that he was on the re south side of the eng .c and did not see the car approaching. His first intimation of approachine disaster 'was a shout from the fire 1, and just at the same instant he an-li d the emergency brakes and felt tlc rash. The train which had a gross weight of about 113 tons was stopped within 175 feet. Fireman's Testimony Herman Robertson, fireman on the engine, said that he stenned to the window on the left or north ¢' of the engine, just as the train reached je crossing, and saw the car about 40 feetnotth on the highway, He shouted to the engineer and inst the. the crash occurred. The car hit the engine just at the front of the loco- motive, bending the pilot back onto the pony wheel. Coroner Dr. D, S. Hoig in his summing up, said that the weight of evidence pointed very strongly to one party to the accident being entirely blameless, and to absorption or in- attention on the part of the other party to the accident. The Verdict The verdict of the jury was as follows: . "We, your jury impanelled and sworn in to investigate and inquire into facts concerning the cause of the death of one Samuel Albert North- cott, late of 388 Masson street, Osh- awa, on Sunday, April 12, 1931, beg to report as follows: (a) Having viewed the remains your jury were of a unanimous opin- ion that there were sufficient injuries noticeably visible, to cause death, therefore we deemed as unnecessary the action of holding postmortem and recommended that the body of the deceased be released for burial. "(b) Having viewed the place of accident and after Vistening to the sworn statements of those who wi- nessed the accident, your jury find and are, unanimous in their opinion that the said Samuel Albert North- RED Rose TEA be i Bex ¥ i : | ) | Fo dh " 2.CWOICE BLENDS ~Red Lave] & Orange ikoe LAAN ia Empress=Britain 3 days to EUROPE Mother And Daughter Both Received Benefit Mrs. N. Conneays Used Them For Kidney Trouble and Sore Back Tweed, Ont, April 16.--(Special) "I used your Dodd's Kidney Pills when my last baby was born," writes Mrs. Nelson Councaye, a resident of this place. "I had a bad Kidney trouble and sore back. I could hardly turn in my bed without help. 1 took six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and they put me on my feet again. My daughter has 'also taken them for Kidyey trouble and they have been a great help to her." Dodd's Kidney Pills purify the blood, and pure blood carried to all parts of the body means new health and increased energy all over the body. Dodd's Kidney Pills are an excellent tonic, and now is the op- portune time to take them. During the long, weary winter months the system becomes weakened and gets in a run-down condition. Dodds Kidney Pills work with Nature by encouraging and assisting the kid- neys--to cast out everything impure or diseased, cott came to his death through in- juries caused when the automobile which he was driving on the Non- quon Road came in contact with Can- adian National locomotive No. 831 while hauling a mixed train from Whitby to Port Hope at or about)' 7.30 p.m, on Wednesday, April 8, 1931 thereby causing the injuries which resulted in the death of the said Samuel Albert Northcott on Sunday April 12, 1931 at 205 am, in the Oshawa General Hospital. "(c) Having carefully weighed the statements of the train crew relative to the circumstances bearing on the case and as stated under sworn evi- dence by them, we are unanimously of the opinion that they, in perform- ance of their respective duties as trainmen, did adhere to the regula- tions required by law, by the sound- ing of warning when approaching the public road crossing by the use of whistle and bell, and are therefore exonerated from any blame through negligence on their part as to the injuries sustained, which resulted in the death of the said Samuel Albert Northcott. "(d) Your jury are unanimous in their opinion that the injuries receiv- ed were accidental, no proof having been sustained at the enquiry that anyone concerned had, directly or in- directly,through negligence in per- formance of their duties, been a party to the cause of injuries result- mg in death. "(e) Your jury feel that, even though the regulation signboard 'Railway crossing' is present as a warning at this particular crossing, this highway, being paved and hav- ing a fairly heav traffic, would un- doubtedly be the better protectéd by the installation of a 'Stop, look and listen' sign at this point, and we are unanimous in recommending that such a move be put into effect. The jury: D. A. Hubbel, foreman; and John Watson, Fred White, John |" Milne, John McKnight, Robert J. Andrews, Peter Gow, Arthur Kemp and Marshall Vaillancourt.

LABOR HOLDS SEAT, BUT MAJORITY CUT Woolwich, England, April 16.-- With a greatly reduced majority a8 compared to the general elec- tion of 1929, Labor managed to reatin its seat of Kast Woolwich yesterday, when George Hicks, prominent trades -unionist and Labor standard-bearer, defeated W. S. Shrapnell-Smith, Conserva- tive, 16,200 to 12,357.

FISHERY PROBE Providence, R.I.,, April 16.-- Nova Scotia is not the only part of the world in which difference of opinion exists on fisheries regula- tions. Late in March a resolution was introduced in the Rhode Island Assembly calling for the creation of a five-man commission to study the state's fishery aws. The Journal remarks editorially that enactment of the commission "might well he the starting point for the statutory reform in this field which is so fhuch needed. "The proposed commission ought naturally to do more than obtain the views of the various factions among Rhode Island fishermen and use them as a basis for codify- ing the existing statutes. It should first determine exactly what rights and privileges are given the Rhode Island free fisherman by the State's fundamental law, then itudy out the essentials of a pro- gramme under which the fisher ing would best be developed conserved as a resource of the State and a source of income to the individual, and finally frame a body of laws designed to protect those rights and privileges and pro- mote that program, With a single commission as the administrative authority. and | ON THE RADIO Jack Miner has been studyin the book of nature since his childhood days.
