Elzea Stepped,
Measurements—Coroner Reserves Decision.
Louis Poyvez. driver of the car which almost instantly killedl
l Mrs. Elisa Elaea, McKinley, street, Rowayton, in front of her home
late Wednesday evening, told Coroner John J. Phelan at the in.
quest in City Hall yesterday afternoon that he saw Mrs. Elsca
stop. waiting apparently for him to pass her. and as he did so.
she stepped in the path of the car.
l’cyvez claims that he was about
15 feet away at the time Mrs. Elsea
stepped in the middle of McKinley
street. and. having slowed down
when he saw her. picked up his
speed when it was! evident that she
was waiting for him to pass. How-
ever. the old lady resumed crossing
the. road when Poyvez picked up
speed ‘and had almost passed the
front of his car when she was struck.
Confused 0n Measurements
Coroner Phelan picked the young
man's testimony to pieces and Poy-
voa appeared very much confused
over the difference in measurements
which he had figurcd~and those of
the coroner's. Poyvez testified that
he was going less than 20 miles an
hour when he struck the woman. and
Coroner Pheian inquired how he
could have carried Mrs. Elzea. the
50 feet which Constable La Fontaine
and George W. Stevens testified they
believed the deceased to have been
carried. Poyvez said that he did not
.marry her 50 feet. .
Mr, Stevens said that the distance
.Wbere he found the woman's glasses.
and other articles strewn. and the"
‘ spot where she lay after being struck
’covorod a distance of 50 feet. The
above articles were found by Mr.
Stevens yesterday morning and it
was the young driver's contention
that they might have been pushed
and scattered during the night by
passing an is.
According to testimony told by
several witnesses. Mrs. Eiaca had
just alighted from a taxicab on the
south side of McKinley street al-
most diroctiy opposite the door or
_. her home which was on the north
side. She passed around to the rear
of the taxi which contained three
friends and mindful of their warn-
ings that a car was approaching
from the east. stopped in the center
of the car tr cks which bisect life-
. Klnley street nd Just as the car
was almost on top of her. she be-
came confused and darted in front
of it and was struck by the right
hand light. Despite thé’fact that
she was '13 years of age. partially
deaf and with eyesight impaired.
LMrs. Einea was very nimble on her
I feet.
L! ‘After Poyvez had struck the wo.
man he dro ve to the junction or Me-
~:Kinley street and Rowayton avenue,
turned the car around and rushed to
the unfortunate woman's aid. Mrs.
Elzea was rushed to the Norwalk
hospital in Poyves's car but, was
dead on admission. '
Chest Injury Caused Death
Medical Examiner William W.
.: Tracey was .the first witness yester-
. day afternoon. He said that Mrs.
_ Elsee. died from shock due to a
crushing injury of the chest which
collapsed the right lung.
Policeman John Guaraieri. who
was called to the scene shortly be-
fore midnight. said the. only evi-
dence he could offer would be that
told by other witnesses. but added
that the driver of the-,taxi from
which Mrs. Elana bad Just alighted
1 told him that he thought that the
- driver of the Ponce car was trying
to make a getaway and that he had
turned his car around to give chase
but found Poyvea only went to the
corner to make a quick turn.

The landing of Marines yesterday
in Nicaragua by the United States
government was done at the request
of President Dias of the Central
American Republic but internation-
al complications of a grave char-
acter are viewed as possible if the
United States sets out to maintain

All the South American Repub-

plclously and Mexico is expected to
show her antagonism at once.

It was stated ofiicially at the

will stop any effort to bring in arms.

Army engineers have completed

Panama Canal already has reached
its tonnage capacity and the new

generators that the first step or
