“‘1 don't know. .I hung to the steer-
ing wheel and brought the car to a
stop. Snead's machine had swung
around and was facing west."
Wfl‘What's the idea. I asked Snead."
nued Mrs. Hart. “Your mistaken.
‘ am." Snead replied. Mr. Jennings
asked Snead if anyone was hurt and
.Snead said ‘yes. a child." '
‘ "I looked and saw the man between

carried it to the lawn nearby where

the man to the Stamford hospital. The
body was not pinned down by the car."
”Jennings. during the course of his
Wony sugested that \Vilbur might
