Cy Moser, Members of the jury had before it evidence that the car of Moser was going slow, that the little boy ran into the street, that Moser saw him, and that the brakes on Moser’s car were defective. Whether it could have been prevented was a question. the verdict agreed upon follow “We find that Ernest Marshall dawe came to his death through be- ' ing struck by an auto driven by S.C. | and from the testimony sub- mitted find that the death was to accident; that the danger of accident from driving the car might | Moser we due have been minimized by proper ad- Sjustment of the brakes.” H The jury was composed of E. M. | Stanton, B. M. Dunn and C. A. Olson. | Robert Dodd testified that the} brakes on Moser’s car were defective, | Moser said the brakes had been hold- ing and that the ear was guaranteed | in good shape when he bought it reel ond-handed from an individual some | days ago. Moser waived his right not to tes- tify and gave’ his story of the aeci- | a Examined Car. i Mr, Dodd said he examined the car j of Moser on Thayer street on an "ell cline not quite as steep as the one ! { Moser was driving down when he | struck the boy. He said he found | the foot brake very poor and the | emergency brake not so bad, but that j it would set only on one rear wheel. | Asked to give an illustration as to | how much farther the auto would go} with the brakes in the condition they were than if they were In good con- | dition, Dodd said that at a speed of | 15 to 20 miles an hour it took 7 to! 100 feet to stop the car, whereas if | the brakes were in goqj shape it should not take more than 25 to 30 feet. He thought the distance from the scene of the accident to Mandan and ‘Thayer, about where the car stopped, {| wis about 100 feet. } ‘The horn on the car was working, but very low, ‘he said. Mr, Dodd's wife, who saw the acci- dent was unable to he present. Mr. Dodd said that his wife thought the hoy was struck by the right hand wheel or a fender. She saw both ys, Ernest Dawe and her son, Jack The boys had started for He said his wife told him the i home. car didn’t seem to be going very fast. She called to the boys, to come home, he said—they were in Dohn’s yard— and saw the car coming as they were on the boulevard going into the street. She called to them to look out. Her boy stopped but Ernest took a couple of steps and was struck. Moser Testifies, Moser said that he bought the auto, ; an Oakland, about 10 days or two! next to. Dohn's meat shop. He said he had driven cars before, and had driven a Buick for two years in St. Paul before coming to Bismarck. He said on Tuesday afternoon he was taking his wife and child out for a little drive downtown, and that he | did not like to travel fast. | He said he saw the two children when he was at the top of the in- cline, and saw them stepping down on the boulevard. He sounded his horn, he said, which he declared was working good enough that other peo- ple heard him. He declared he was told the auto was in first class shape when he bought it, and that the brakes were working all right going down hill. He said the foot brakes were set and | that he did not use the handbrake until after he hit the boy. He said both boys stopped when he blew \ the horn, and he had an idea that they wouldn’t go across the street. Ernest Dawe, he said, suddenly start- ed and ran as fast as he could into ,the street in front of the car. He! said he tried to turn the car, but couldn't, c g . Moser said he thought he was go- ing only five to eight miles an hour, as the brakes were on coming down ‘ill, and that he had put them on _ when he saw the boys, The speed- ometer was not connected. Moser has lived in’ Bismarck 14 months, he said, coming ¥rom' St. Paul to be baker for the. McKenzie hotel.
