Allies were saVed by Mrs. Wlkely.
‘Wlnn the crash came. Mrs. Wakeiy
igrasped in each arm. one of the girls
aged to get them out of the way ot
flying glass and falling wreckage. 0n
the spot from which she pushed
them, heavy pieces of wreckage fell
and undoubtedly they would have
been fatally injured by it had they
‘ remained
Mrs. Wakely lies in a precarious
condition at the hospital. She sut-
t‘ers greatly from shock, but in her
restful moments tells a story of the
wreck. “i knew nothing of the ac-
cideut until something struck me
lieaiily in the face," she said last
night, 'and for a moment i was
stunned. Then the grinding togeth
er of the cars and the wreckage.’
caused me to be pinned so that i
could move nothing but my arms and
head. i did what i could for the
little girls on each side of me.
“i ought to have known that
something would happen. The mo-
tormau turned and turned the light.
at the switch and nothing was
shown. The children all were inter-
ested in the fact. There must have
been something wrong with the sig
nailing sy stem, ,tor the other car was
on the same track as ours.
"There were fourteen in our seat.
Seven were standing and seven were
sitting. When the crash came they?
were all caught and Nellie was
doubled up under a car seat, with
her head between her legs lpulled
and pushed her out."
Nlany Picnic: at Roton.
No less than nine carloads of chil-
dren left Hoton Point, yesterday at-’
ti-l‘noon, shortly before the accident
occurred at \Vestport. Besides two
carloads of children which proceeded‘
no further than Norwalk, halt a dozen'
other cars came along the track on
which the accident occurred.
There were picnic cars from the“
lliolv Trinity Sunday school, of West»
lport; the Christ Chruch Sunday school.
iof W esiport; the .\i. E. Sunday sebum.
of \\ estporl; the Congregational Sun-
iday school of ‘W estport; the Greens
‘Farms Sunday school. of Greens
i'l‘arms and those from the Point Un-
.ion Mission Sunday school, of Bridge-
port. ‘
Rev. Kenneth Mackenzie. of the
Holy Trinity Churdh. of Westport, said
last evening to a reporter.
“Our last special car carrying the
members of the Trinity Sunday
school just got in to Riverside ave-
nue before the express car started
out. The power was low on the line
due perhaps to the number of cars
being operated on this track at the
time.
"The express car must have left
Riverside avenue. setting the switch
light against the Point Mission cars
before these special cars reached the
light at the Country Club. The loca-A
tion of the wreck plainly shows this.
If the light was lit at the 'Country
Club, as it certainly must have been.
the motorman of the Sunday school
special car must have run by it." .

a long detour so as not to interfere

them, due probably to the angina

could not say whether or not the
wreck appeared to be due to criminal
negligence. He put State Policeman "f
