Storey, Ho stated that he was driving east along Concession St Seeing Underhill walking along the road he slowed down, pulling out a little to pass him. He spoke to the boy and pulled up ahead of him. His car stopped with the left wheels near the centre line of the road. He heard a whirring noise and 2 thud, saw a car pass to his right, estimat- ing its speed at more than 30 m.p.h. but not more than fifty. He saw John Underhill on the front of the Buick car, his body apparently caught on the front bumper, The car proceeded across the ditch and ended in a pea field, travelling, he said, about 150 ft, after passing his car be- fore coming to a stop. The boy dropped off the Buick into the ditch. The engine of his car was running and he drove up to where the boy was lying. He ex- amined him and found he was not breathing, his pulse was flutter- ing but he died almost instantly. His body was pulsed, p Saw Women "The witness Air, that a group of people were walking from the east, but otherwise he did not recollect seeing any other traffic.

She stated that she was walking slowly along the road accom- panied by Mrs. Spry and Mrs, Florence Hartstone, of Bowman- ville, with three children, They had been fo the cadet inspection.

She stated she could see the head and shoulders of Under- hill through the windows of the parked car and when she opened her eyes he seemed to jump for the diteh at the same time as the car, which she sald was travelling very fast, Cross-exam- ined she recollected having sald at the preliminary hearing, that she thought Underhill was about to get into Dr. Storey's car at the time he jumped Into the ditch, Mrs, Florence Hartstone cor- roborated but said she turned her head away as she thought the two cars would crash, When she She sald that as it came down looked again it was in the ditch the road it appeared to be travel- ling very fast, Other Witnesses Terence Ryon, who met the victim of the accident shortly be- fore it happened gave corrobora- tive evidence and Provincial Con- stable William Everett Smith was called as the Jasi witness for the Crown. He stated that be had tested the brakes of Mortlock's car on the same day as the ac- cident and found them fn Al con- dition. Speaking of the boulder in the bottom of the ditch he said it was rounded and stuck up about four finches above the ground, There were marks on it where the wheels of the car bad passed over it. A boy's school bag was near it and the body of the victim was lying in the ditch about 20 ft. away. Accused's car was about 70 ft, from the bould- er and about 142 ft. from where it had left the road. He stated that there was a clear vision to the west for a distance of 800 ft. : Mortlock's Evidence Herbert Mortlock, giving evid- ence in his own defense, stated that he came from England sev- eral years ago, that he was mar- ried and employed by Mr. James, proprietor of the Bowmanville Statesman, as reporter and ad- vertising solicitor. On the day in question he was going to the training school to report a speech to be made by Hon. G, 8, Martin, "I had plenty of time and was driving alone," stated the ac- cused, "I had been following a car ahead of me. It partially dis- appeared over a hill and I fol- lowed behind it catching up a little. When I got over the hill I saw it again about half way down. I saw the red light go on indicating that the brakes were being applied, I also saw the boy walking along the side of the road, It looked to me as if the brakes had béen applied while he was passing the boy, I thought he would go on, then I saw he was going to stop. His wheels appeared to be near the black line, I turned out left to pass him, my attention was on the car In front and the boy. As I turned out I increased my speed to pass him but saw the women and children in front of me, They appeared to be very close. On seeing these women I took my foot off the gas, turned back and put on the brakes. 1 thought I might hit Storey's car and so I had no other way out but the diteh, I didn't want to hit the women or the car so I went for the ditch." He stated that Storey"s car was in the middle of the road and the little boy a long way in front of him apparently getting into Storey's car. As I turned for the ditch I saw the boy turn around and look at me then jump for the ditch in front of my car, I hit the boulder, which knocked my foot off the brake and--I don't swear to this--but I am sure my foot slipped onto the accelera- tor." Had No License Cross-examined by Crown At- torney Garvey, Mortlock admitted that he had no operator's license, He sald that he had often driven the car before which velonged to his employer. Asked why he didn't put on his brakes when he saw the red light go on he said he didn't think the car wad going to stop, only slow down. Asked why he did not put on his brakes when the Storey car stopped, he sald he did not think {it was necessary. Asked why he could- n't see the women ard children on the road ahead when he was coming down the bill behind the doctor's car he sald his zttention was on the boy and the car in front. Judge McEvoy: "It was your vusiness to see the women, Do you always go bowling along at 40 miles an hour wit out seeing anything? Don't you think you ought to drive a car under proper control so that you -ould avoid running into women or little boys?" No answer. The Crown Attorney pointed out that the speed limit on Con- cession street at that point was 25 miles an hour, "What bird is it," asked an in- spector of a class of young chil- dren, "that is found in Africa and although ft has wings, cannot fly?" After some hesitation a Jit- tle girl put out ber hand. "Well, my little dear," said the inspector, "what is it?" "Please, sir, a dead one!" NEURITIS HAS GONE! Banished by Kruschen "I had acute neuritis in the shoul der and left arm, due to exposure in bad weather," writes the Rev. H. E. T. "It was impossible to lift the arm to dress or to use it in any way, and, of course, the pain was dreadful, All external applications were useless, [ got it completely normal again by keeping the parts affected warm and taking daily, early in the morning, Kruschen Salts in a tumbler of hot water. Jt took nearly a month, but every ves- tige of neuritis has gone." Neuritis is typical of a dozen o'her complaints--some minor, some very serious--which all result from impurities in the blood. And it is impure blood, circulating all over the system and setting up inflam- mation in the tissues, that causes those excruciating pains, Kruschen Salts can be safely trusted to set the matter right. Be- cause Kruschen contains just what Natuge needs to persus ade your in- terna "organs back into a healthy normal condition, Fave You a Communistic Feeling about Your Clothes Do you ever feel like | starting a revolution in your clothes closet?
