ing at high speed, eye witnesses say.

 

The two women had just left the house of a neighbor and were
on their way'home when they were run down and killed.

Waterbury was proceeding west from Darien to Stamford. The
bus was empty at the time of the fatal accident.

Eyewitnesses told the police that he was driving at a high rate
of speed when he reached the cement paved road leading to the
Noroton Heights bridge. At that point there is a clear view of the
road for a considerable distance.

When the heafy bus struck Mrs. Burnes she was knocked under
the car. Her dress caught in the driving shaft. Police who were
summoned from Stamford found her body wrapped tightly around
the axle and had to cut away her clothing to release her. Then the
floor of the car was cut away and Mrs. Burnes‘lifted out.

An ambulance summoned from Stamford rushed her in a dying
condition to the Stamford hospital. There was a deep hole in her

forehead and every bone in her body was broken, surgeons said
Her right arm, with which she had shielded her face in a vain eflort
to protect herself, was hanging by a shred of flesh from her shoulder.

Word of the fatality reached Stamford police headquarters
shortly after 11 p. m. Desk Sergeant Greavey summoned an am-
bulance from the Stamford hospital and rushed Patrolmen Paight,
Creigh and Faubel to the scene in a police car.

\Vhen they reached there, the police say, they found a group of
about fifteen people standing near the car which was in the middle
of the road. The body of Miss Donahue was lying to the right of the
car, it was terribly bruised. The officers heard faint cries from
under the bus. Procuring a searchlight they saw what appeared
to be a woman’s dress which was wrapped tightly about the axle.

The three crawled under the bus and workingwith pen knives
stripped the clothing from the woman’s body. Walter F. Faubel1
driver of the police car, ripped OR the floor of the bus. The flooring
was rotten, he said, and he found it easy to lift the planks with
his fingers.

Mrs. Burnes was lifted out and placed in the roadway. She
was still breathing but unconscious.

Police placed the driver of the car under arrest and he was
later held at headquarters. Two weeks ago he was in an auto acci—
dent in which a broken axle figured.

\Villiam Kingdon, superintendent of the Connecticut Company,
was entertaining about 400 emplofcs of the corporation at a gathering
in the Elks’ hall and had just told a humorous storf when he was
told that one of his dri'vcrs had run down and killed two women.
With Irving Rudd, chief engineer of the Public Utilities Com-
mission who was also at the gathering, Kingdnn hurried to the scene
of the accident. Arriving there he found the police of Stamford
questioning Waterbury. .
He ordered him to say nothing of the accident and to give no
details of the fatality to anybody. Later the driver was spirited
away from the scene and was not brought to the Stamford police
station until early this morning.

 

 

The two oflicials made an investigation of the accident.

Mr. Rudd later said: “There were no passengers in the

fatality.

Coroner John J. Phelan, of Bridge-

witnesses today and begin an inquiry
into the accident at once. Later it de-
veloped that this was impractical as
some of the witnesses could not be

TELUI‘ALE SYMPTOMS

OF WOMAN’S ILLS
Every woman who suffers from
backache. headaches, dragging-down
pains, nervousness, irregularities, dis-
placements, irritability, or despond-

-cncy should recognise in such symp-

toms some derangement of her system
which should have attention before
some more serious ailment develops.
These conditions are often evidenced
by a sallow compexion. dark circles
under the eyes, lassitude and sleep-
lessness. For nearly fifty years
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound han been pro-eminently suc-
cessful in overcoming such conditions.
