Michael Conway of 25 Valley Ex- tension, a yardhand at the American Thread company, was the next wit- ness. He knew Miss Kelly by sight. At the timb of the accident, he was talking to a friend who was standing near. He noticed the dog and the close proximity of the woman and remarked that it would be a close call. He heard the dog bark at the boy. Miss Kelly fell about seven feet from the curbstone with her head on the pavement. Mr. Bill then asked Alfred Meickle if he wanted to testify, as he could not be made to. Meickle said that he was willing to tell all that he knew about the accident. He works as a differ in the No. 2 mill and was returning from the gate with*his bicycle because the tire need- ed fixing. He bought the bicycle about five weeks ago but could ride before he had the present bicycle as he had had another and had ridden since he was twelve years old. He was on the right hand side of the road, Eoing slowly when a dog that was with a small boy who was carrying bobbins left the boy and started after him. He pedalled with one foot and kept the dog_from grabbing with the other. He landed on top of Miss Keily and his wheel landed to the right of him. The only damage to the bicycle was that the wheels were knocked out of true. He was placed in the auto by the men as_they thought that he was urt, and the Jast he saw of Miss Kel- iy, she was breathing. His mother said that he was the best boy that she has, beinz a steady worker and this was the first trouble that he was ever in. Coroner Bill told a Bulletin repre- sentative that in view of the testi- mony, the boy was not guilty of enough negligence to demand prose- cution.
