Hamilton police have been asked to locate friends or relatives of a man believed to be Stanley Skouron, who was killed when struck by an automobile near Grimsby Saturday night. Papers found in his pocket gave his address as 14 Whitfield avenue Hamilton. He was killed instantly when struck by a car driven by 17-year-old Alex V. Huculock, R.R. 1, Beamsville. Huculock told police he was blinded by the lights of an approaching car, and did not see the men until he was "right on them". The two men were walking toward the car, but one jumped clear. With the aid of the other pedestrian, Huculock place the dead man in his car, and drove to the office of Dr. C.W. Elmore, where it was learned the man had died from a fractured neck. Thne the boy drove to an undertaking parlour. In the meantime the second pedestrian had disappeared, and police have been unable to find any trace of his whereabouts. A preliminary inquest has been adjourned by Coroner Elmore.
