Ivan Bowser, the girl's father, told police the vehicle failed to stop after the accident. Herman Smith, 47, who wit- nessed the accident and aided the girl, told police she ran into the vehicle's rear wheels so the driver likely would be junaware of the mishap.

"Blood, was coming out of lits mouth and nose but it was still standing up and showing plenty of. life, "Mr. Affleck added, .. Through an interpreter the brothers said they didn't know any different way of slaughter- ing and this was the way the job was done in Italy. "It's hard to credit this sort of evidence," Magistrate Jermyn interjected. '"'Man is ordained to be a higher animal than other forms of life. They must know better than that." "Yes," put in Nr. Affleck. "And there were children watching this barbarism too."
