The car was operated by Ralph Kenyon of Westerly and the other occupant was Howard Martin of Potter Hill. As the car proceeded down Burd! lane towards Mechanic street, and while on the railroad cross- ing, that is, the front wheels were on the westbound track, Kenyon saw the fast approaching eastbound local train due to arrive in Westerly at 7.45, which was more than half an hour late. Ken- yon put the machine at full power, ex- pecting to croes the tracks before the train reached the crossing. He mis- calculated, as the locomotive struck the automobile, and with force suffi- clent to eend a jarring motion through the whole train and indicated to pas- sengers that something out of the or- dinary bad happened. The auto truck was twirled around and what was left of it, the chassis and engine, was lodged against the fence and down the decline on the east eide of the lane. The top of the de- livery truck was thrown fully 30 feet and onme of the rear doors séveral feet farther, while splinters were scattered for a distance of 50 feet towards West- erly. The train was stopped and Conductor Shippee made an investi- gation. After a delay of 15 minutes the train proceeded to Providence. Mr. Kenyon retained his seat from the beginning to the end of the acci- dent and escaped with only a slight bruise on the forehead. Mr. Martin was thrown out and received a small cut over the right eye and another an inch in length on the forehead. Both men were, of course, considerably shaken up, but did not lose conscious- ness. and almost immediately after the accident both men were busied in col- lecting the laundry strewn about in the vicinity and getting together scat- tered parts of the wrecked machine. Monday night of last week entrance subway to the main station Policeman Ferguson, although in enfeebled con- dition, took hold of ‘Lamphere and was about to reach for Martell, but before he could get a hand on him Martell dashed through the ‘subway, up the stairs and up Railroad avenue. He was seen running along West street and is known to have crossed the bridge at Stillmanville into Pawcatuck on_the Comnecticut side of the river. Policeman Ferguson brought Lam- phere into the pasi station and summoned Policeman Mitchell by tele- phone. That officer took Lamphere to the police station and he will be ar- raigned today. rry A. Chij l\d-ha former New. Landon drug clerk, o spent some time in the Connecticut state prison, and who has been an annoyance to the Providence police, by skipping his bond in a forgery case, is at the present time in the Providence county jail. In the superior court at Providence Mon- day Chippendale pleaded nolo on two indictments charging the procurement of forgery on jitney bonds. In one case Judge Elmer Rathbun imposed a sence of seven months in jail. On tke other indictment sentence was de- ferred. Rev. John G. mflon, minister of the Broad street Christian church, con- ducted the funeral service of Henry Bryant at his home on Union street, and as Mr. Bryant's mother, the only surviving member of the family, was too ill to go to the cemetery, the com- mittal service was held at the house. There were beautiful floral emblems, inciuding tributes from associates in the postoffice. The bearers were Eugene B.
