The number was given to Inspector Haywood, and Constable Cummings of the Provincial Police, who happened to be at the Hospi- tal, and who immediately act out to locate the car and owner. In a short time tho car was found, with windshield broken and lights bent, before the residence of McDonald. who was at that time in his home, and who was subsequnetly placed under arrest by Commissioner Trninor at the office. The coroner's inquest began be- fore Dr. J. C. Houston f, terday morning at 10 o'clock at the Mc- Lean Funeral Home, and after ad- journment oonclud “ last evening. 'I'he jurymen empannelled were: E. D. Stern-s (foreman), George Dewar, Thomas White. Karl Kelly. M. W- Recrdon,'A. A- Hennessey, Angus McEaohern. Following was the verdict brought down by the jury: We your jury sworn ‘to inquire into tho death of John Cassiord, the McIntyre Highway, find that after viewing the body and consid- ering all the evidence placed before us. death was directly caused by fracture of skull and injuries to the brain as c. result of being struck by a motor car driven by Charles McDonald. Owing to the increasing number oi fatal and serious accidents due to motor cars being driven by drunken and oth- erwise incompetent drivers, we strongly urge upon the authorities in the interest of public safety that only those proved competent should receive licenses, and when any tail in this that the license be revoked. We further recommend that ev- ery porson seeking a. license, should have a rigid eye test, and cars should be inspected with respect to brakes, lights. etc., and we also re- commend that compulsory insur- ance be taken out on all cars. Robert McKenzie, St. Peters, sworn, had at about 8.30 when com- ing in from Upton Farm, in a. car driven by his son on the McIntyre Highway, heard a crash and saw a. bicycle on the bumper of a car which was going out the road- They had seen a body fail to the sido of the road. They stopped at once. witness had sent his son af- ter the car which had not stopped till it got 5 or 6 chains away. His son had got the number. Somebody had gone to the telephone to re- port the nccident and the boy was taken to the Hospital by Mr. Coles. The car had stopped some dis- tance up the road, but had started almost as soon as his son had got the number. Aldus McKenzie, St. Peters, son of the first witness.

I-le had seen another car coming, heard a crash, law a bi- cycia on the bumper, sndsaw the body on the bumper. witness ran after tha other car which had stopped. and got the number, 8170 or I179.

There which took place Aug. 23. 1931, cn' was one car on the scene oi the accident when witness arrived. He examined the injured lad, and took him to the Hospital. There was life in him when he was taken to the car. Two sailors and another man accompanied the witness to the Hospital. Witness had seen nothing unusual about any oi the cars he had met before the accident. Francis J. Harris, sailor on H. M- S. Delhi, had been walking on a road outside the city. He had heard an impact and saw a bl- eycle hanging on the front’ mud guard. Witness examined the boy, and. his friend ran after the car. However, his friend met a "civilian chap" who had already procured the number. 3779. A gentleman took the boy to that Hospital in a car, and the witness and his friend had accompanied him. The accident had occurred on the road about fiva or six yards behind him. The car was going pretty fast, between 30 and 40 miles an hour, witness estimated. The car had not stopped, ‘till it‘ had travelled 30o or 4on1 yards. Witness believed that it: would not be possible to strike theI bicycle without knowing it. Witness had been walking on the left side; of the road. while the bicycle had‘ been carried on the right mud guard. Dr- G. F. Dewar with Dr. Yeo hed performed an autopsy on the; body of John Cassford. The boy‘ was about 15 years of age, Well nourished. On the forehead was n wound about 15 inches long.

The bicycle had fal- len off the car after it had trav- elled about 40 yards, witness testi- fied. The car proceeded about 300 or 400 yards before stopping. Wit- ness stopped another car, and sev- eral other cars came along. No- body seemed to know what to do. Two clergyman wont to phone for assistance, and a gentleman vol- unteered to take the boy to the Hospital. Witness believed that the boy was dead before he was brouaht to the Hospital. After seeing that the boy had been looked alter, witness ran after the car which had stopped about 800 or 400 yards up the road. The driver of the car drove away.

Officially, all that was to be had was the Prime Minister's brief statement of Saturday after- noon that the Cabinet was putting the finishing touches on a plan which it believed would meet the situation arising from the threat- enlng budget deficit of $600s000,000. Today there was another brief announcement from No. 10 Down- ing Street that His Majesty had called Mr. Baldwin and Sir Herb- ert.
