NEGLECT KILLED G."MOYSEY Said the Coroner's Jury which Investigated the Motor Ac- cident. "We find that Gordon Moysey came 'to | his death on November 26 from injuries re | ceived at the corner of Wells Hill avenue and Nina avenue from the criminal négli- gence of Mrs, Anny Wood." 'uch was the verdict retuned by Coroner thorough investigation. into the double -ac- | cident (referred to in last week's Examiner) that cost the life of Gordon Moysey, xged*| 14; «on of. Alfred B. Moysey, 90 Lyndhurst avenue, and injured Mrs, Sarah Gallagher, 135 Lappin avenue, 'maid: at. the Moysey ome, The'boy and the woman were walk- ing at the corner of Wells Hill and Nina wvenues' when they were hurled from the sidewalk by an_gutomobile driven' by Alex- ander Brown, 113 Helena avenue, following a previous accident, in 'which Brown's car | was struck by another automobile driven by Mrs. Anna Woods, 72 Wells Hill avenue. Mr Brown stated' that. he was driving his.car at ubout-twelve miles an hour east- wird slong Nina. avenue when he saw Mrs. Wood running southward on Wells Hill avenue. He estimated her speed at 25 miles.an hour, As Brown had the right of way he thought he had plenty of time to \ pass the crossing before' the other ear ar- Tived. He gave no signal of -his approach and did not his cur. When just be- yond the centre of the car Mrs. Wood's car struck the centre of his machine. Both wheels were broken"and his car skidded in- to a post and was. thrown on the sidewalk, striking both the boy andthe woman. The, | car then skidded. back on the road. Mrs. Woods, in her story, stated that she did not see Brown's car at. all, and she thought she had a clear crossing. She de- ctared that her machine, could not have been more than. 12 or 15. miles an hour, as she had only driven her car 300 yards from her home, and prior to that the car had been 'standing for two hours in the cold. The disagreement 'between two, motor ex- perts featured the investigation. A 'Visick declared that the damage and course taken by Brown's car indicated that he had been travelling "about -twice the sped of Mrs, Wood's machine, while Con- stable Greenway, an expert for the police, denied Visick's theory, and. believed that } Mrs, Woods was travelling ata higher sp than that of Brown: a Graham--Bell A very pretty wedding was solemnized at he home of and Mrs. Arthur' Bell, Lakeview Farm," Oro Station, on Saturday December 1, when' their eldest daughter, Laura Louisa, was united 'in marrisge to Mr. Albert Neil Graham of the same place. bride-looked charming in a-maize drese ressaline silk trimmed with pearls and situation on its merits.
