accident are for the most part con-
jecture and constructed upon the
visible evidence of the crash. The
road at the point has a. heavy
shoulder and it is believed that
Kurmay was driving at an exces-
sive speed when his car ran over
the edge. He evidently entirely lost
control and could not regain the
road.

When the car struck the pole the
noise aroused neighbors who rush-
ed to the spot and immediately
sent through calls to the hospital .
and the westport barracks. By the .
time Officers Silk and Fratino had
arrived the injured had been re-
moved in the ambulance. Their in-
vestigation was somewhat hamper-
ed by the lack of witnesses and no
arrests were made Authorities are
new awaiting the results of the bat-
gs Kurmay is making for life boo;

against him.

Kurmny's full injuries include
several broken ribs and the punc-
