Fite CORONER'S JURY FINDS DEATH ACCIDENTAL (Continued from Page 1.) were headed towards Kingston. She also told of having passed a car themselves further back on the road without any difficulty. Dr. Keyes' Evidence, Dr. 8. J. Keyes said he was call- 4.15 am. on Wednesday by Dr. Houston. He found Roland Hewgill there in a collapsed condition and semi-conscious. There was marked evidence of concussion and craneal trouble, a fracture dislocation of the right elbow and a bad dislocat- fon of the left knee and also evi- dence of abdominal injuries. He called Dr. Etherington into consal- tation, and had Dr. Quigley X-ray the injured boy. They were unable to arouse him 'and he never fully recovered comsciousness. His condi- tion became steadily worse and at about 1.45 p.m. of the following day he died from a combination of shock and inter-craneal and inter- abdominal hemorrhage. \ Miss Grace Lavoie corroborated the evidence of Miss ONve Irwin, and added that Roland Hewgill was lying twenty to twenty-five feet in front of the stalled car after the accident and to the right side of the road. The car which came up be- hind after the accident, and a man #aid they had been going forty miles an hour. She was asked particulanly about Kelly and said that to her belief he had been drinking. W A. Dechene. | W. A. Dechene testified that he had been with a party of two cars { which left for Ivy Lea for a dance, § In one were Bert Treadgold and { John Howes and in the other Wil- | Ham Treadgoll and himself. In the | same cars coming back were: Bert. | Treadgold, Mack Lemmon and John Howes, and in the second one William Treadgold, Don Kelly and himself. Bert. Treadgold passed him | between Gananoque and Kingston, and about five miles east of the city on the highway the Treadgold car [assed a stalled car on the road. He noticed that Treadgold stopped | about 150 feet beyond the stalled | car, and when he himself passed it he discovered a man lying on the road in front of it with - another man bending over him. He stopped his car and' ran back to see what had happened. He stated that both his car and Mr. Treadgold's were going between 20 and 25 miles an hour. He turned his car over to Mr. Lavoie to bring Roland Hewgill to the hospital. Being questioned, witness admit- ted having a hottle of beer before leaving Kingston, Four of them drank from jt. He did not see any of the others take a drink after. He saw the stalled car before he came §i to it. He could not say whether or; not there were lights on the stalled car. He and Treadgold had not been 'racing. Asked how much space there was to pass he could not say, but "I passed." Saw Stalled Car. Mack Lemmon testified that he came home in Treadgold's car and they came across a stalled car this side of Eastview Hill. They did not see it until the lights of their car picked it up. He could not say if the tail light was lit. As they passed, he saw a man dancing out from in ed to the Gemeral Hospital about | he was able to shine his lights on the right band side of the engine for Mr. Lemmon to work om it. It was necessary to use Mr. Dechene's car lights while examining Roland Hewgill. Donald Kelly testified that he was in Dechene's car and did not see the accident. He noticed after the ac cident that the lights on Lavole's car 'were not lit and would only light when the motor was going well. He swore positively that he does not drink. Kelly also corro- borated other evidence of Dechene, Treadgold and Lemmon. Deceas®d's Brother Testifies. _Frank Hewgill, brother of the de- ceased, appeared as a voluntary wit- ness. He said he was summoned to the hospital but could not see his brother as he was in the operating room. He came outside to wait and was there talking to Lemmon and Dechene both together and separate- ly and that both had been drinking. He could not say for Bert. Tread- gold as Treadgold was eating some- thing. From the conversation he heard, he gathered that Treadgold's | lights were poor. William Treadgold corroborated the evidence of those in the two moving cars and testified that there had been mo drinking. Traffic Constable Percy Dowsley was called and questioned about the law. He stated that one car passing another is required to slow down and make sure of the clearance be- fore passing. It was his opinion that the highway at the point of the ac- cident was about twenty-eight feet in width. Coroner Gardiner, after a short summary, gave the case to the jury and cleared the court. This was some time .after midnight. amd about 12.30 the verdiot quoted above was brought in. | LETTERS To The Editor U. E. L. Book of Remembrance. Belleville, Aug. 28.-- (To the Edi- tor): Arrangements are being made to publish 'a "Book of Remem- brance" of the eelebration of the 140th anniversary of the settlement of Upper Canada by the United Em- pire Loyalists held at Bellevillg last June and an effort is being made to include with the book as exten- sive a list as possible of the names and addresses of descendants of the original United Empire Loyal- ists who are now living. s You will assist in this effort by sending to me the following infor- madtion: 1. Names of all persons now living who claim to be descended from original United Empire Loy- alists. 2. Their addresses. 3. Name of. original United Empire Loyalist ancestor if you have it. : 4. Any further information con- cerning Loyalist ancestor or family which you may have. J By the order-in-couneil passed November 9th, 1789, the first and only attempt was made to create an hereditary title In Canada. By this order-in-council a "Mark of | Honour' was conferred on the or- iginal United Empire Loyalists "and their posterity." It will, therefore, be a matter of import- ance in the years to come to have as complete a knowledge as pos. sible of the United Empire Loyal front of the stalled car as if pleas- ists. ed over something. He jumped in the air, and Treadgold's ear hit him. The stalled car was well over to the right centre of the road. He could not say how many feet were avail- able for passing at the left. He ad- mitted that there might be about twelve feet. Their car was going twenty to twentyfive miles an hour. The speedometer was out of order. He had not been drinking. They were about three feet from Roland Hewgill when they first saw him." Treadgold was going at the same rate of speed as he passed, as he had no time to slow down. He swore positively that there had been no drinking. 2Ei3, fii . = firesd Hi i & £262 i W. C. Mikel, Mayor of Belleville Belleville, Ont. R.CHA. Band Concert.
