ANDREW CHAPEL, Va., May 24— Eight-year-old Hilda Shifiett died yes- terday afternoon en route to George- town Hospital from a fractured skull sustained when she was struck by an automobile occupied by two of the Fair- fax County traffic officers, L. L. Finks and A. W. Mills. The accident occurred on the Lees- burg pike, about 3:30 p.m., in front of the general store of Mrs. John Oliver ; at Kenmore. Hilda had been dismissed from school a few minutes before and | was, riding home in the machine driven by her teacher, Mrs. Ruth Day. In front of Oliver's store Mrs. Day stopped, the child got out, looked in the mail box, called a joking greeting to Mrs. Day and the other occupants of the car and darted across the road toward the store, No Cars in Sight. According to Mrs. Day, she had Ilooked up and down the road, seen no cars in sight and called to the child to run ahead. Suddenly a car ap- proached over the crest of a small hill and she looked around to see Hilda on the road under the wheels, heard the car pulled to a stop with a screeching of brakes, saw one of the two uni- formed men leap out and pick up the limp form of the child, lift it into the car and start away. It was all over before the child had even a chance to scream. With the child's agonized parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shifiett, tenants on the John Oliver farm, she later followed to Georgetown Hospital, to learn that the child had died before reaching medical aid. Trafic Officer Finks, who is sfid to have been at the wheel of the car when the accident happened, is on the verge of a nervous breakdown, it is stated. According to the story told by him and Officer Mills to Commonwealth's Attor- ney Wilson M. Farr, they were driving at a moderzate speed toward Andrew Chapel—approximately 35 miles per hour. Finks said he saw the child standing by the side of the machine, and Mills also called his attentios ing, “Watch out for that child.” Came From Behind Car. ‘They stated last night to Farr that the child suddenly darted in back of the teacher’s machine and across the road in front of them, that Finks ap- plied the brakes as soon as he saw her run, and that the car stopped within 15 feet from the point of impact. Officer N. | Mills returned to the scene of the acci- dent soon after it occurred to measure the marks on the road. The road at this point has been freshly tarred and gravelled and he stated that the brakes did not held as well as on an old road. Mrs. John Oliver, who was in the rear of the store at the time of the ac- cident, said the crash with which the brakes were suddenly applied was audi- *| ble in the rear of the store. Hilda was one of eight children, two of the brothers and sisters being young- er than she. She was in the second at school. No funeral arrange- ments have been completed as yet. Commonwealth’s Attorney Wilson M. Farr is making a thorough investigation of the accident. SUNDA‘.’_PAIfiTING CASE GOES TO CIRCUIT COURT C. B.
