Conductor Lilli- on Stand. Fred Lillle, conductor, on the trol- ley, sald that the trolley was going at the usual speed and that he did not see the automobile until he felt the emergency brakes applied and looked out of the rear end of the car to see what the trouble was. Miss Kate Macadams, employed at the Hotel Hooker, was a passenger on the trolley at the time of the accl dent and the first she knew of the affair was when the crash came. + Edward Gilman said that he had just driven by a-short distance when he heard the crash and some one called to him and he turned around and went back. - He said that he had avoided the bad place in the road by turning on to the trolley tracks and then off. Passenger Testifies. Maurice Moran of 236 Valley street was near the site when the accident occurred and called to Gilman. John Wood of South Coventry was a pas- senger in the jitney and told how the passengers were seated, he being on the front seat with the driver. He said that ig appeared ta him as if the car did not respond when Skyler tried to swing it from in front of the trolley. Chief Richmond told of what he saw upon his arrival shortly after the. smash. He said Skyler told him that he turned out onto the tracks to avoid the bad spot in the road. Found Pieces of Flesh on Trolley Car. Roy Dawner, a reporter, was the last ‘witness. 'He told of examining the trolley car as it stood in the car barn shortly after the accident and of finding a plece of flesh imbedded be- tween two of the match boards that were broken in on the left side and just, to the rear of the vestibule. This side' of the car had been smashed up considerably as a result of the col- lision and the piece of flash he de- scribed as being about an inch and a half long and had been driven in be: tween two of the broken boards. This evidence would seem to disprove the idea that Rockwell met his death by being - thrown against the front end of the automobile but that he recelved the full force of the oncoming trolley as the impact of the glancinz collis- ion with the front end swung the rear end around. Skyler .was unable to secure a bondsman and was taken to Brook- Iyn jail Thursday afternoon.
