Witness blew horn and drove to the right as there was plenty of room. The right hand wheels of his car were close to the sidewalk as he passed the Fields car. Before passing he blew the hérn and applied the brakes. As he neared the Fields car Mr. Bush took Mirs. Bush by the hand and started for the sidewalk. Mr. Bush let go of his wife's hand a sshe pulled away from him, and she fell in front of the machine. Mr. Bush reached the sidewslk. As the automobile went over Mrs. Bush the speed was fur- ther® reduced and brought to a quick stop by the witness. He did all he could to avert the accident. Lester M. Piney, associated in business in New York with Mr. Davis, and who was in the car with him at the time of the accident, testified that they were on a pleasure ride and that they were in no hurry to gét anywhere. He said the au- tomobile went up the grade at six and eight miles an hour on high. When at the top of the grade no gasoline was ap- plied and the speed of the car was not increased. Cross-questioned by Mr. Agard, the witness stated he did not see the Fields car until he was within 50 feet of the same. Mr. Davis applied the brakes and could not stop the car. The fear of the car when stopped was within 21 feet of the body of Mrs. Bush. Police Chiet Brown, recalled and ques- tioned by Mr. Hewitt, testified that he was present when the measurements were taken. The Fields car stood eight feet from the edge of the tarvia and it was 21 feet distant where the Davis car stopped. Mr. Davis indicated the position of Mr. Fields' car. Policeman Henry Chase testified he was present when the measurements were taken and corroborated the other witness- es in regard to the distance in regard to the iocation of the Fields car. Attorney Hewitt made the argument in behalf of Mr. Davis in the hope of having decision rendered that the accused was not criminally negligent in this ease and ought to be discharged.
