There were no eye-witnesses of the tragedy. | The automobile was owned by Nichols and was being driven to- ward the city. According to residents of the neighborhood the driver must have had a full view of the crossing, while Azack employees of the Canadian National Railways pointed. out that the train, unless the circumstances were most unusual, could be seen 200 yards up. the road from the crossing. The manner of the tragedy which al- most wiped out two families connected by marriage, must remain unex- plained. Oct. 12--A 4-year-old Late in the afternoon Nichols tele phoned Mould, inviting him and his family to his home for dinner and _an_ automobile ride. The Mould fa 'accepted. The party went down ngston road and crossed over. ne countryside toward by the crack 'train of the C. N. R.

The train was brought to a standstill within its length. Two rear coaches had not passed the crossing when Gorman and members of the crew, along with pas- sengers, rushed to the assistance of the victims. Hon.. W. F. Nickle and Dr. Dennis Jordan, Danforth Ave, who were' returning from the U. of T.-Queen's football - game, were -am- ong the passengers. The automobile, shattered beyond recognition, was lying fifty yards from the crossing. The remains of the victims were scattered along the tracks for 150 yards.
