Carter. 5-5 Queen '-St., east, liveryman, drove the last car in the procession. When Bradford was reached Car- ter had to make a short stop and was some distance behind the fun- eral when the accident occurred, the result, it is believed`, of pull- ing out to pass another car without being sure of a clear road ahead. `Carter swung out'as he approach- ed the crest of a little hill. Just as he did so he caught sight of a big roadster coming rapidly up the rauc. `Choosing the ditch as an alter- native rather than a head-on col- lision, he -swung to the left, but the other car caught the `Carter car with terric force, and threw, it against a telephone pole.

Others Unaware of Crash In the meantime, unaware of the accident, the funeral proceeded to Barrie cemetery, where they wait- ed for an hour, expecting the Car- ter car to arrive momentarily. When that time elapsed they de- cided to proceed with the cere- mony. Mrs. Finlayson was buried and the party returned from the cemetery and were still unable to get any information as to the whereabouts of the missing. 7hnn Il\:\7:V\lI ann+1-I -funny-vu now- wuclcauuuua UL DIII7 lllllllao .
