I thought they were clothes. I crled out to my hus- | band that an accident had happened. | Then I ran across the road where the machine was standing as if it was just ready to go on again. The lady was ly- ing doubled up at the foot of the tree and fhe man was stretched out at full length about half a meter away. It was terrible, horrible! .They were both dead. The man seemed to make a faint move- ment, and the lady opened and closed hulr hands convulsively, and that was all.” Mme. Hourdet could not give, or re- fused to give, any Indication that could lead up to_ the important point .as to which of the unfortunate young couple survived the other, if only by the frac- tion of a second. To all inquiries she re- plies ‘Oh, they died at the same mo- ment, They were 'both killed at once.” Nor could she specify whether she first noticed Mr. Fair make the move- ment of which she had spoken or whether it was Mrs. Fair. From the po- sition In which the bodies were lying Mrs. Fair would be the first Mme, Hour- det came to as she ran across the road, for Mrs. Fair's body fell at the foot of the tree on the left of the road, while her husband’s body lay a couple of feet still further to the left. It {3 possible, therefore, by deduction to argue that Mme. Hourdet’s attention would be first attracted by any movement, however slight, made by the inanimate body of Mrs. frair. On the other hand Comte Louls de Reste, of the Tour de Cesson, near St. Brienc, who happened to be gmln a few days at Pnc}/ said that when Mme. Hourdet spoke of the accident before him she positively stated that Mrs. Fair was the one of the two -unfortunate victims who gave the last signs of life, L R BRETY TELLS OF TRAGEDY, Chauffeur Does Not Know if Either Showed Signs of Life. PARIS, Aug. 16.—The chauffeur of the eutomoblle in which Mr, and Mrs, Charles L. Fair were killed, whose name fs Brety, returned to Paris this morning. In an interview with the correspondent of the Assoclated Press, he threw some fur- ther light on the cause of the accident, saying: Yhien we left Trouville Mr. Fair was suffering from bronchial catarrh. He coughed frequently on the road and dur- ing the fits of coughing his face was much congested, evidently producing slight dizziness. He had just been cough- ing when I noticed that the tire of one of the hind wheels was deflated. I real- ized the danger and jumped to my feet and leaning forward I shouted in Mr, Fair's ear in English: 'Stop quick! Tire no good. Mr. Fair glanced back, but he did not reply. Apparently he trled to stop, but In doing g0 he must have made the wrong steering movement, as the ma- chine swerved across the road and went in a straight line for a tree. Mrs. Fair, as she saw the direction the automobile was taking, clasped her husband’s shoul- ders with her arms and turned her face back toward me with a look which said plainly ‘We are lost.” The next moment came the crash and I was thrown into a fleld beside the road and stunned. When I recovered, which I did quickly, I llmped to the side of my master and mistress and with the help of the chateau fnlekesper‘u wife extricated the bodles rom the wreck."” Asked if elither then showed signs of life, Brety replied: *“Both_seemed to be dead, but I was in such a dazed condition from shock and so affected by the ghastly spectacle present- ed by the wounds on the heads of both vietims that I did not notice whether either moved or not. The gatekeeper's _ wife sald afterward that Mr. Fair moved his foot and that his wife moved her hand as they lay on the ground, but I did not see the movements. The woman did not ‘ny' Whether the man or his wife stirred ast.” The bodies are due to arrive in Paris at 8:55 this afternoon.
