Testimony Before Coro'ner
Shows Baird
Saw Trolley
Too Late To St0p Crash
That the death of William Baird, 34, 25 Central avenue; kill-
ed in the motor creeh Wednesday evening on the Poet road, wee
accidental, will probably be the ilnding of coroner John J. Phslsn.
Bridgeport. who held an inquest into the fatality yesterday after-
noon in the Darisn town court room.
The collision occurred when Baird
turned his car out to pass Ham-
mond's machine. smashed head-on
into n Siamford-Nonvalk trolley
and in turn collided with Ham-
mond's car. In the car with Baird
at the time was Louie Bender. East
Church street. Westport.
Bender. suffering from alight head
injuries. was unable to be present at
the inquest. but a statement given
by him to the police was read to the
Coroner. Bender was extremely
dazed after the accident. and could
recall only the immediate crash.
Chief Harry C. Smith and Police-
men George Evans and William
Bowman. who investigated for the
Darien police. testified they arrived
the scene of the accident some-
e after it occurred. and could
not. therefore. explain the cause of
the collision. ‘
James Crczler. motorman on the
trolley. was the only eye-witnese
called to the stand. He stated he was
driving his trolley to Stamford on
the Post road at a. rate of about 20
miles per hour when he first caught
sight of Baird's and Hammond's
cars. traveling towards him at what
seemed to be moderate speed.
Testimony given at the inquest
cleared up certain details concerning
the collision. and made it clear that
neither James R. Crozier. James
street. h’orweik. motorrnan on the
trolley. nor George '1‘. Hammond.
whose car Iiiird's machine collided
with after hitting the trolley. could
be held in any way responsible for
the fatal smash.
Dr. Ralph W. Crane. medical ex-
aminer for Stamford. who viewed
the body of the deceased. was 'the
first witness called to testify. Dr.
v 1
Crane had knowledge of the cause
of Baird's death. which he gave as
primarily the result of a fractured
skull.
When the distance between the
trolley and Hammond's car had de-
creased to about 100 feet. Croeier
stated that Baird began to nose out
of line and that he was still trying
to pass Hammond when he collided
with the trolley.
Crozier testified he applied his
emergency brakes Just before the
collision and brought the troll” to a
stop within 60 feet. He got out and
found the body of Baird stretched
across the south track and Bender
on the south of the pavement.
Baird's car was about 100 feet east
of the point of collision. and Ham-
mond's car. with which Baird had
collided, about 20 feet further on.
None were able to testify whether
Baird's car had overturned. but the
two occupants were thrown frOm the
machine after the collision with the
trolley. Both were found east of the
point of collision and llaird was ly-
ing across the tracks.
Mr. Hammond saw nothing of the
accident. He stated that a. few see-
onds after he heard a crash. the rear
of his car was smashed into. twist-
ing his machine in a half circle and
forcing it into the gutter.
That Baird misjudged the distance
between his car and the trolley. be-
lieving he was going to clear. seem-
ed frOm the testimony given to ex-
plain the accldent. Even if Ham-
mond had swerved to the left as
Baird was about to pass. it would
have made no difference. since there
was still distance between the two
automobiles.

Ghosts that pitter pattered all

through cracked windows. all com-
bined to send avalanches of thrills
through the tense audience which
witnessed the showing of the excit-
ing mystery play at the Regent the.
sire last htght.
The presentation. "The Last
Warning." was given by the Myrkle-
Harder company. and it proved to be
a very weird melodrama. in three
sets.
The theme of the play centers
around the ghost of John Woodford.
John. it seems. died a sudden and
queer death at the height of his the-
atrical career at the time he was
presenting the famous play. “The
Snare."
John's ghost resents very eni-
phaticaily. the proposed revival of
the play by a new company and does
all “power to scare the
players out of their wits. Incident-
ally. the ghost nearly succeeded in
scaring the Regent audience out of
their skins.
However, all skins were saved.
due to the welcome periodic appear-
ances of Sadie Belgrade. who plays
the part of Evelynda chdon. the

adds a Joyful note of comedy to the
whole production by always putting

Jack Kingston. as Arthur Mc-
Hugh. former detective now theatri-
cal producer. is excellent. His stony.
hardset face and unshakable calm
would have been a challenge to any
ghost. His spinal column is made of
real bone. _
The other members 'of the east
were all very good and the plot of
the play was exciting enough to
carry the audienco with it to the
very and. One fault only. that in the
last half of the last scene. when the
whole mystery is to be explained.
Unfortunately. the continuity of the
revelations was not as clear as it
might have been. with the result
that part of the mystery play still
remained a mystery as far as the
audience was concerned. -
However. everyone present got a
thrill out of the play and many a.
one looked under the bed for ghosts
last night. before retiring.

Hopes For Week-End
Skating Are Dashed
Just when Norwalk begun to get
relief from Sunday's snow storm by
reason of thaws and shovels. the
city aroused itself this morning only
to discover that another blanket of
snow had fallen during the night.
After day break the snow turned to
rain and sleet and as the day wore
on there was a steady drizzle.
In addition to inconveniencing all
that had to travel through the snow
and slush Norwaik's skaters are
bemoaning the weather man‘s in-
consistencies. The skaters' hopes
were quashed over night. There had
been a little skating at the edges of
Davis' pond in Broad river. and all
that was needed was one cold night
to freeze the center of the pond.
And as the scenario editor would
sny.-—and with the night came snow.
The first case of sled theft for the
season was recorded by the uptown
police yesterday afternoon. The sled
was stolen from a boy who left it
on Marshall street. ,
Chief of Police William R. Pen~
ningion today issued orders to all
officers that the property owners
must clean their sidewalks of the
accumulated snow before night fall.
The demand is made to speed up
clearing the walks before today's
rain freezes and makes walking dan~
gerous.

Asked if there was a probability
that the next president would llt,’

board of directors or staff oi oi-
ficers Mr. Hoyt answered that this
was likely but said that the sc-
lection was one for a great deal 01‘

rest on the shoulders of the I'l'iiill
who assumes control of the board.

tries that may come here. He can
change the entire complexion of the,
city by choosing the wrong ones."
