Accident At

A verdict that Robert Clark Bryenton came to his death the night of July 5 as a result of an automobile accident in which he suffered a fracture of the skull and damage to the underlying tissues was reportedlast night by a coroner's Jury impanelled -to inquire into the death. The accl- dent occurred at Falrview when a car owned and driven by John Notting left the road and over- turned in a field.

Several witnesses last night as Coroner Dr. L. E. Prowse opened the proceedings. Dr. T. A. Laldiew said that he had received a call to the P. E. I. Hospital that night but the boy was dead when he saw him. There was a small wound on the bacl: of the head with a large area of soft swelling under the skin. He thought it was likely a skull frac- ture as there were no other ap- parent serious lnjuries. He coli- cluded that death had occurred between 10.20 and 10.40 that night, but there was no record of the exact time. The young man had been dead an hour or less at the time of his examin- ation. The nature of the head in- jury indicated that there could very well have been a broken neck.

Mr. John W. Skinner, Fairview. said that a Mr. Alchorn had come to his house at 9.25 that evening and said there was an accident at the gate. He wanted to telephone as he did not have one in his home. Miss Marguerite MacMillan, a public health nurse. was present and she examined the injured man. She thought it advisable to get him to the city as soon as possible. Mr. Skinner drove their car to the city, but after going about five miles en route Miss MacMiiian and her

Paving Questions Aired At City

Council Meeting

Questioned by Councillor Elmer MacDonald as to why a portion oi Pownal Street. between Dorchester and King Streets. had been ripped up, Mr. A, Hewitt, supervisor of the street repair job, stated that he and City engineer Hamid Mes- servy had been in agreement on every section so handled.

tiqn arose at the meeting of the City Council held yesterday after- noon at City Hall.

Mr. Iliesscrvy said that the lower part of Pownal Street was on a muddy sub-base. Councillor Mac- Donald thought it was a waste of City money, but Councillor Frank Storey said the City had had prob- lems there before and he did.not want to have them there again. Mr. 1Iewitt'ii;g,marked that i the street was not to be put. wn right he ”didn't want any phrt of

Councillor Storey. chairman of the street Committee, snid that the patching of streets had now been completed as had the work of providing parking areas on Grafton and Kent Streets on the block at Prince of Wales College. He said that consideration was be- ing given to removal of the curb- ing on Kent Street between Prince mid Hiilsborough Streets to give extra parking space there.

The re-capping of city streets. the Councillor said, had been somewhat delayed by rain and a temporary shortage of material and spoke of receiving several calls from residents about . the dust nuisance created by the tearing up of sections of the streets prepar- atory to laying a new surface. While regretting the nuisance he thought it was unavoidable under the circumstances. J

KINGSTON, Qnt., July 14 - (CP; - The .l1ody of 30-year-old William Calhoun of Toronto stabbed 11 times in the chest - was found in a ditch here today. The slaying was a crime with no apparent motive.

Dried bloodstains, leading for more than 75 feet along a high. tray on Kingston's western out- skirts, led police to believe the man staggered along the road be- fore he tumbled into the ditch.

A graduate of the University of Toronto and an Air Force veter- an. Calhoun was en route to Fred- crlcton to take a teacher's exam- ination.

Saturday his mother, Mrs. Helen 1CBlll0ull, saw him off in Toronto 'on a bus bound for Montreal. Why he stepped off here hasn't been determined.

Believed to have been dead for several days, the body was found by Douglas Moulton, Portsmouth penitentiary guard.

The wounds were small, believ- ed inflicted with a pen knife. There also were bruises and cuts on the face.

Police discounted the motiveof robbery; 546 was found in Cal. houn's wallet.

Police said the victim may hale been killed elsewhere and dump- ed into the ditch from a car.
