ONE DEAD, 4 MORE HURT ON COASTER Halts at 30 Miles an Hour, Ocou- . pants Falling 65 Feet New York, May 22.—Cme passenger was killed and four were mortally in+ jured early vesterday when a' coaster car of the reenie railway at Starlight Park, 177th street und the Bronx riv- er, stopped short in mid-flight, cata- pulting them sixty-seven ‘feet to the ground. ( Defective brakes were alleged by the car's pilot, Cornelius Connolley, nineteen, 2405 East Tremont avenue. He was held in 82,500 ball by Magis- trate McGeehan in Morrisania court , pending a charge of homicide which Assistant District Attorney Willlam Quigley said he .would file today. Connolley escaped injury by hold- ing to, the safety far on the front of the car, which was said to be trav- eling thirty miles anghour ‘when it came to an abrupt hal'. All the seriously injured sustained fractures of the skull, and physicians at Fordham hospital, where they were taken, said last night they could not live. Two in Remarkable Escape Besides Connolley, two passengers escaped in remarkable fashion. Edith Barker, seventeen 517 ¢ast 139th street, Bronx, and August Sthur, thir: ty-two, 1045 Trinity avenue, Bronx, whre caught in crossbars of the rail- way auperu!ructurf, after being hurled about fifteen feet. They sustained only minor lacerations. Investigation by the polfee of the Westchester and Tremont Stations disclosed, it was said last night, that " all the occupants were friends of Connelley and that the ride was in the nature of a private party. It was 2 a. m. and comparatively few persons were in the park. “I had no inkling that the hruku of the car were not in perfect condi- tion,”” said Connolley. "I had been rynning it all day and they worked fine. We had just descended one of the sharpest inclines gnd the car was going at a fast clip. Investigating Structure. “Ahead of us was a slight rise in the track, where it curved. I tried to apply the brakeés, as I always do at that point, but apparently they failed to take hald. The car hit the curve full speed. Then a projecting beard or something caught and the car shddenly stopped dead. I don't know how I managed to stick in it. 1 supposed I jnstinctively grasped the Bureau of ) Complete Facts of Circulation Are Collected And Verified By the Audit Bureau of Circulation —and by That Association Only SUPPORTED by the majority of reputable publishers in Ameri- ca, it has become, during the seven years of its existence, the recognized standard authority on circulation questions.
