NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, APRIL 26, 1915 WESTERLY MAN FATALLY INJURED Giuseppe Giormo, Dazed, Steps in Front of Trolley Work Car—Body of Aveldo, C. Gardner Found in the River— Lighting Pipe, Samuel P. Guiseppe Glorno, e resident of Pearl street, Westerly, was fatally injured Baturday morning by being struck by a work car of the Norwich and West- erly Traction company when &t a point near the Sweeney Switch, on the Ash- away and Westerly branch. The car was on its way to Ashaway for a load of ties when Glorno suddenly =merged from a lot through & narrow gateway mnd stepped directly into the narrow space between the rails and the gate- way. The work car whistle was sounded and the foreman of the work crew, who was alongside the motor- man, gave shouts of warning, which were not heeded by Giorno. The brakes were applied and every effort made to stop the car, but this could not be done in time to prevent strik- ing Giorno, who was walking towards the track. He was partially facing the moving éar and was struck in the right breast, thrown beside the track, and rendered unconscious. The car immediately proceeded to Westerly to summon medical aid and the foreman of the working crew wit three of his men were left to care fo the injured man. The office of Dr. Charles P. Crandall was the first to be reached and he was summoned to €0 to the aid of Glorno. The work car was _then backed on to tho siding in front of the railway station to permit clear passage of the Norwich-Westerly car. Dr. Crandall immediately pro- ceeded to Sweeney's switch and decid- ed that Giorno was o severely injured that hospital attendance was neces- sary. Giorno was taken to the West- erly station and left for the Memorial hospital in New London on the train leaving Westerly at 9.33, accompanied by Dr. Crandall. The hospital ambu- lance was in waiting when the train reached New London, but the injured man died before the hospital was reached. and the body was taken to the quarters of an undertaker and sub- aoquently forwarded to Westerly. Mr. Glorno was employed by the highway department of the town of Westerly, but had not worked for two weeks by reason of sickness. Satur- day morning he left his home in Pearl street to work in his garden, which is located in the vicinity of the Sweeney Lawton, is Fatally Burned. switch, home until late in the afternoon. leaves a widow and five children. The report that Giorno deliberately walked in front of the moving car with suicidal intent is not credited by those who knew the man, nor by the men on the work car who witnessed the accident, as they claim it should be termed. As Giorno had been sick for several days, it is believed that he was probably so depressed mentally that he did not realize the danger of his position and was unable to act with 2 promptness whereby the injury could have been averted. Giorno never regajned consciousness after being struck, and Dr. Crandall from the first did not think there was but a thread of hope of recovery. Giorno's right shoulder and arm were fractured, sev- eral ribs broken and the lungs punc- tured. Giorno had resided in Westerly for several years and is referred to as a_hard-working and industrious man, of good habits, and devoted to his wife and family. saying he would not return He. The body of Aveldo C. Gardner, son of the late Alvedo C. Gardner and Ella Ammons Gardner, descendants of the Narragansetts, was found floating with the tide {n the Pawcatuck river, in the vicinity of River Bend, early Saturday morning, by Capt. Horace Sisson. He notified Howard and Irving Lewis and they secured the body, towed it ashore and notified Dr. M. H. Scanlon, medical examiner. At that time the identity of the body was not established and it was removed to the Joseph T. Murphy morgue. Later the body was positive- ly identified by Mrs. Mary Gardner Rose, a sister of the deceased. She said he was 22 years of age, was born in Stonington and resided with his mother in Dayton street, Westerly. Aveldo had ‘been missing since the night of April 1, when he was last seen on the Broad street bridge with two other young fellows, having been ejected from a ncarby pool room, where he was engaged in a_disput At that time he wore a dark brown overcoat, but that garment was not found on the body. There were no marks on the body to indicate foul play, but it is claimed that inasmuch GEO. A.

DAVIS 25 BROADWAY as Alvedo was an_expert swimmer it was not a case of accidental drown- ing. Alvedo C. Gardner, Sr., died about a year ago, and the son found drowned is survived by his mother, three sis- ters, Mrs. Mary Gardner Rose, Mrs. Newton Eleazer and Mrs. Ernest Bar- bosia, and four brothers, Ralph, Rob- ert, Elwood and Harold Gardner. The deceased had four cousins residing in Norwich, Mrs. Mary Okra, Mrs. Hattie Reed, Mrs. Charles Mallison and Mrs. Lillie Hallam. Burial was in the fam- ily plot in Hopkinton cemetery Satur- day afternoon. ‘There were many friends at the fu- neral service of Mrs. Harriett York, widow of Saunders York, Saturday af- ternoon at the residence of Charles O. Gavitt In Newton avenue. The ser- vice was conducted by Rev. F. Stewart Kinley, pastor of the First Baptist church. Burial was at River Bend. The bearers were James E. Kenned John Gavitt, Byron D. Greene and Al- exander Gavitt. The vacant lot in Main street, or, rather, a portion of it, located between the Champlin and Collins properties, and the most available building site in the business section of the town, has been purchased by the plumbing firm of Davey & Maxwell, who have been Tequired to leave their present place of business in the Segar property in Broad street, to make way for a public garage. The property was purchased from the estate of Albert B. Collins. It has a frontage of 45 feet and extend- ing towards the rear for a distance of 150 €eet, with griveway privileges. The new purchasers will probably erect a building in which their business will Dbe located, but have not as yet defl- nitely decided as to the kind of a building that will be erected.

There is a revival of the report, based on_some authority, that the In- dustrial Trust company of Providence is to erect a new bank building in Westerly to replace the present build- ing owned by the company and long occupied by the Westerly branch, managed by James M. Pendleton. The present building; of brick and brown- stone, in High street, was built and occupied by the Niantic State bank, and its successor, the Niantic Natio: al bank and the Niantic Savings bank. which were taken over by purchase by the Tndustrial Trust company. The building was erected in 1854, but is not adequate for the increased business of the Westerly branch of the Industrial Trust company. The new building will be on the site of the present structure.

He retired| early and, as was his custom, started | to smoke his pipe before going .fo| sleep. He lighted a match and in! trying to light his pipe set fire to the| bed clothes. Mrs. Lawton, who was in| an adjoining room, heard the cries of her husband and was horrified to find him standing in the room enveloped in flames. She seized a rug and smoth- ered the flames and in so doing her hands were severely burned. Dr. Har- old Kenyon was summoned, but Mr. Lawton was so severely burned that he never regained consciousness. Mr. Lawton spent nearly all his life in Westerly and was for vears em- ploved by Maxson & company and the C. B. Cottrell & Sons company, has done no work for the past years.

Sutherland Edwards in an article on war correspondence, classes the ten years’ siege of Troy among the myths of history. ‘Homer was sent out to Troy to describe the incidents of the siege of an Argos paper, the ‘Chronos.’ The war lastdd about as long as the Seven weeks' war of our time. But ‘When it was at an end the Greek chiefs had no_desire whatever to go home; and as Homer (or O'Maher, to give his name in its original un-Hellenised form) was a very good fellow and drew a large salary, with an abundant al- lowance for expenses from the ‘Chro- nos,’ hi accepted the idea pro- posed by the wise Ulysses—to keep the war going in the columns of his paper as long as he could manage to Write about it. His correspondence was too £ood not to publish; and meantime the Greek chiefs went about amusing themselves.’—London = Chronicle.
