Cornelius Augustine Shea, twelve- year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Shea, started at 12.15 Saturday noon for the - Misquamicut Golf grounds where he was employed afternoons durizg vacation as a caddle, was dead in his home No. 5 Morsan street, two hours later, having been struck by a fasil-driven automobile. The Shea boy left Westerly on the 1215 ca and according to Conductor Owen Sherry, the boy alighted after the car had stopped at the gOM club entrance. He was sure that the car was at a dead stop. The boy started to cross the road and as he reached about the centre he was struck by an automo- bile owned and operated by Miss Alice Sargent, a summer resident of Watch Hill in one of the Griscom cottages. The other occupant of the automobile was Miss Mary Plerce. Both ladies declare that the Shea boy got off the trolley car before it stopped and as the automobile came along he ran di- rectly in front of it in attempting to cross the road. Miss Sargent savs she saw the hoy get off the car and stand by the roadside and sounded the horn. She kept right on, sup- posing, of course, that the boy would wait until the automobile had passed. Instead, however, he ran in the same direction that the automobile was ap- proaching and tried to cross the road in front of the machifie, and was struck. Thomas Mulcahey. age tweive. of No. 16 Stillman avenue, was a Wit~ ss of the fatality. He is also a caddie, had been at work durins the morningz, and was awaiting the 115 car from Watch Hill to return home. He savs that the car had reached the white post. had slowed down, and was about ready to come to a full stop, MYSTIC Automobile Strikes Coal Team, Injur- ing Driver—Stribl-Main Marriage— Aprointment of Teachers—Reed- Beebe Wedding Announced—Burial of Rabert Smith, Shot at Danielsen.

Shea, 12, Struck by Automobile Driven-by Miss Operated by Frank Nichols, in Collision With Massa- chusetts Car—German Arrested at Golf Club by fmmi- — i The boy, -t when “Conny.Shea got off. The auto- mobile was coming up the road at a very fast cHp, but was ‘quite a dis- tance.away. The horn was blown just as the Shea boy started to cross the road. So he ran a“few feet in the di- rection of Westerly, and ahead of the automobile and then started to cross the street:.. He got about in the mid- of the road, the Mulcahey boy said, when he was struck by the au- tomobile. Then the machine was stopped, and backed up to where the boy was lyving on the ground. Con- tinuing the Mulcahey hoy said: “The lady asked me if I could direct her to the nearest hospital and I told her there was no hospital in Westerly, but that T could show her the way to the nearest doctor, and she thea asked me to get in and show her the way. Some men put Conny in the automobile. We went to the office of Dr. Grant Sav- age, in Elm street, and Conry was taken into the office, and a few min- utes later to his hogne, by the doctor and the lady who drove the machine. One of the lantern glasses of theauto- mobile was broken and the cross-rod between the lanterns to which the registry number was fastened, was bent. But when I looked at the car later in front of the town hali T saw that the cross-rod had been straight- ened. It must have hit the boy very hard to have bent that iron rod When the Shea boy was taken Into the office of Dr. Savage he was ha ing severe hemorrhages and was therefore hurried to his home in Mor- zan strect. ‘pon arrival. Rev. Walter Tayvady assistant at St. Michael's church, was summoned. and at the re- quest of Dr. Savage. Dr. John L. May was called. Examination shewed that the left side of the boy's head was severely cut and that his chest was shed, the ribs penetrating the lungs died within twenty minutes fter he was taken home. As the fatal accident happened in Westeriy, R. I, and the boy died in Pawcatuck. Connecticut, it takes the case out of the jurisdiction of Dr. Mi- chael H. Scanlon, as medical exam- iner of the town of Westerly. As tne boy was alive when taken to his home and received medical treatment, it is said that it is not within the province of Dr. H. C. Little, medical examiner for the town of Stonington. It is be- lieved to be a case for police.inves- tigation, and acting eon that belief Chief of Police Themas E. Brown went to the house with Dr. May, was in the house when the boy. died, ascer- tained the name and age of the boy and the time he left home and the time of return. The chief then return- ed to his own jurisdiction. He int viewed Miss Sargent and heard her story of the fatality, heard the story of the Mulcahey boy, taiked with the conductor of the trolley car, and made eful inquiry of all that pertained to the case. The whole matter will be placed before the state prosecuting authority to decide whether prosecu- tion on the charge of manslaushter is justifiable. An automobile opsrated by a wom- an came across the Pawcatuck river bridge and instead of continuing along Broad street, the machine veered very much to the right and struck the cor- ner of the Chapman building, so-cailed at Main and West Broad sireet, ¥ri- day night. The copper leader was smashed, and the corner post of the | show windows of the Woodmansee was disturbed just enoush fo show that the wood was somewhat decaved The automobile was going slowly and | the show windows were not broken.

Bab- cock, with a Massachuseits attomo- bile,’ registry number $4,566, and the forward part of hoth automobiles were wrecked. The soth smashed. as well as the on that side, and the mud- suard on the right side of the Massa- chusetts car was also twisted out of shape. The Nichols car was proceed- ing it moderate speed towards West- erly, while the other was going in the direction of Watch Hill at a very fast ate of speed. The headlights of the Massachusetts car were on at full strenzth as the crest of the hill was reached, and Mr. Nichols was about to dim the lights on his car when the crash came. Mr. Nichols claims that he was well to the right of the centre of the road at the time of the acci- dent and does not consider himself re- sponsible. He was on business at Watch Hill and in the car with him at the time were three Norwich youns men who had missed the last car from | the hill. Mr. Nichols is well known | in Westerly. where he has been doingz | business for vears, formerly as man- ager of the green.stamp store. He js of strictly temperate habits. excellent character and is classed_as a careful utomobile operator. Neither _ Mr. Nichols or the other occupants of his car were injured. The voung men in the car with Mr. Nichols are: H. B, Cote, 27 School street, Norwich: Frani ohen, §05 East Main street, Nor- wich: ‘and J. H. Swanbee, 13 Broad- way, Norwich. In' the Massachusetts car,’ bound to Watch Hill. were two men, a woman and a child about four years of age.| One of the men was thrown againsi the wind shield and received several cuts, but the others escaped The big car struck the with such force that the child was thrown from the back seat over onto the front seat, but without apparent injury. Both ‘care were towed to a local garage for repairs. Mr. Nichols claims he was not at fault for the accident and has report- ed the facts in the case to Police Chief Brown. The owner of the Massachu- setts car made no report, but Mr. Nichols gave him his name and home address, but the Massachusetts man did not reciprocats The summer session of the Rhode Island Normal School will begin today (Monday) and extend through August 3.
