It is evident thowever, that the New York car was | going at high speed down grade, and marks of the wheels on the pavement | showed that the car went ninety feet after the brakes were applied before jcoming -to a standstill, and the first i blood stains on the concrete highway |were 81 feet from the point Where i the brakes were applied. The collision took place at this point. It is presumed that the fish cart was on the left, instead of on the right side of the road, and had started to get to the other side when the crash |came. The chauffeur. as shown in the wheel tracks, drove 'to the extreme right side of the highway. the two side wheels going off the pavement in- to the dirt. The brakes were applied. The chauffeur realizing that he could not go to the right of the fish wagon, shot off to the left. In so doing the car sideswiped the horse and wagon with terrific force. The horse was knocked off the pave- ment on the right in the direction of Stonington, and Slocum and Knowles were thrown to the left. Only the lshafis of the wagon were broken. The ! touring car was but slightly damaged !
