' Miss Hart, 33. graduate of Memorial Haspital, Orillia, and a passenger on the bus the night of `the accident, told of doing what she could to render first aid. She described the light on the fatal motor cycle as a soft, yellow light." She could not say if there was - a tail light onjthe rear of the truck, not having made observation. The next witness was Craig Warner, who, with his wife, was a passenger in the truck. He was about to remove his furniture from Orillia to Alliston, he said. The right front light of the truck was a. little dull, Warner stated. This was particularly noticeable to him when he was out of the truck fac- ing h`im.

Boys, his counsel, asked the usual pro- tection of the court. This was granted. Witness gave his age as 26, his ad- dress Alliston, his occupation laborer and stated he had been driving a truck since 1922. He was on his way to Or- illia for a load or furniture. \accom- panied by a Mr. and Mrs. Warner. He said he hadw stopped coming into Bar- ` .riejto`,seei his lightswere all right. .. `.`Oh.

The vehicle was 100 feet` away and he stood out and held up his hand, later stepping aside and mo- tioning-to the driver to draw to the side of the road also. The truck driver sllackened down and came to a stop in the centre of the road and Grant again ordered him to the side, he said. Im- imediately he walked around the back of the truck and in doing sonoticedl that the tail 1ig'ht,,was not burning. He could not see the number. He passed on to_the left side alongside the driver 3. and again told him, to move over. At this point, however, the truck driver, who later `turned out to be Jenkins, stalled his engine. There s a car coming, pull over, Grant shouted, but` the starter on the truck refused to respond, witness tes- tified. The oncoming light was then three telegraph poles away. Jenkins turned all his lights, out and again stepped on the starter, Grant said, but ,again it failed. The -motorcycle, he . said, did not seem to be slackening up so he rushed to the rear of the truck, threw up his handsand whistiled as loud as `he could. The sidecar was hug-_ ging its right sl-de of the road, but sud- denly swerved to the left. The crash, followed while Grant.was standing five ' feet back on the side of the road. The driver, Griffiths, was hurled from his ' seat in the air, alighting on his head. it He felt his pulse but failed to get a ti response and concluded he was dead. Griffiths was thrownfour or five feet. "1 he sa (1. -Eley, who was sitting in the an sldeca on Flatman s --lapywas laying. tr on the road at the back of the truck, se_ while.

The headlight of the` sidecar, he said, wasvery yellow and the brakes: showed two: polished metal surfaces in con'tact. The lining was 8.12` most entirely gone.

The preponderance of evi- dence was to the effect that the en- gine of the truck wasnever started, the crash. co-ming while a passenger in the truck was walking to the front _ to crank it. The starter had been out of commission for two weeks, it was -testified . Grant in-hisevidence had said that Jenkins had tried unsuc- cessfully several times to start the engine. and had stalled the truck while attempting to get it. off the cen- tre of the road. An-Eye-Witness Story The `evidence of Officer Grant occupied practically all of the morn- ing session, lasting from eleven until one o -clock. He told of stopping the truckdriven by Jenkins at a point be- tween the rst and second concess- ions of Oro at 9.50 Saturday night be- cause, in his opinion, the truck was burning but oneiheadlight. It had been raining and the moon was hid- den. The night he described as dark. might be afforded the batteries,- At the point of the accident, opposite . Mr. Gough s farm, the road was straight and vision clear for one fifth of a mile west and two-fifths of a mile ; east. He drew up his motorcycle on his right side of the road, off the tarred surface, fifty feet back and Walked, cross the roar! fn lncr `r.:m1,z.... 1.. ..... -- 7 g ` . ._(_C.onti_nued train page 1) ._ quite apparent that the motorcycle - was not ingood condition. , A - , a Only One Headlight ._ From `the nature, of the evidence _ and the verdict rendered it was quite plain that the jury took the view that the chief contributory cause to the double fatality was the poor condi- tion of the motorcycle and sidecar in which the boys were riding. Tests ' made since the accident have shown that the brakes were useless and the headlight little better. The motorcy- r Vcle was nine years old. These facts were brought out in evidence. Ex- amination of the- roadway at . the scene of the accident showed that the sidecar started to swerve twenty- seven feet from the rear of the truck, apparently the point at which the driver first noticed the obstruction, in an effort to clear the truck. Twen- ty-seven feet back it was straight in line with the rear right wheel of the truck, whereas the sidecar crashed in- to- the extreme left rear side of the platform, indicating that a last min- ute effort had been made to pass on the left. __ / 1-` _____ _AL_|'a I I I .1 ronomo voU1`Hs L % IN CRASH, . u.-g nvv Truck Driver Tegtie HA-n Tn-uI-l_..- LI. _ uuvur zleuru-'n1m."
