Mr..MacRae, we are informed was
proceeding east on Campbell street

Gurney car -going west came over the
incline, approaching this intersectio..
Brakes were applied 'and skid marks
showed as distance of 63 feet tra'vel-
led• by the Buick -before the impact
occurred. Evidently Mr. MacRae.
had so fag.made the turn that it was.
necessary for the Buick to swing to

collision. After the crash the Guerra-

ing to a stop at the left ,hand curb
