Leod of Kincardine, who recorded the • findings, both testified and attributed' an instantaneous death to a severe fracture/of the skull, a fracture of the neck and a fracture of the breast — bone, . as well as several ribs. There had been extensive bleeding from ’ the right ear, nose and throat. These injuries were quite sufficient to cause death apart from anything else and it was not considered necessary to examine the internal organs they testified. 7 ~ ~^~NfgKt Clear/ Said Black r “ Wallace Black, Imperial’ Oil Co. truck driver, of Goderich, driver of the ill-fated car and only actual wit­ ness of the grim tragedy took the stand to give details leading up to the crash. • Mr. Black had left Goderich Sat­ urday morning for Lucknow on bus­ iness. He left his 1935 Chev. sedan at McKenzie’s Garage at Dungannon for greasing and continued his journ- —— ey in a similar car—loaned—him -by- Mr. MacKenzie. He left Lucknow at 15 or 20 minutes to eight that even­ ing on a business trip to Frank Scott’s farm in Huron Township. Near MacDonald’s farm, Mr. Black met and passed a car, and swung back onto the middle of the road to strike the buggy "dead on". “I didn’t see it at ail,' ne repeated, and ott­ ered no alibis. ’’There .was nothing wrong with the night, for driving." he s'5id, "except that it was the worst time of the evening. The lights of the car he was driving were good, he* said, and he had not been blinded by the lights of the car he had just met, but which he had not recognized. An approaching car was. too far away to bother him and there was nothing on his wind­ shield to affect his vision were fur­ ther statements. Asked by Mr. Free­ born at what speed he was driving,: Mr; Black stated he had not looked at his speedometer since leaving Lucknow, but estimated his speed at’ “maybe about 35 miles”. First Arrivals. Called Mr. R.A. Grant, Mr. James Mac­ Donald and Jack Beatty, who is employed at MacDonald’s, were call­ ed from among those first to arrive after the accident. Their evidence was a good deal along the same lines. Mr. Grant told of seeing a car turn east onto the boundary from the Ripley road as he was approaching, from the west. John Beatty stepped out of MacDonald’s barn to see the car stopping and realized something was wroiig. He was first to reach the spot and then ■ rushed back to the house for Mr.. MacDonald and a iigjt. ' I] Was Borrowed Buggy Mr. Clifford Austin of Ashfield explained that the buggy that carried Mr. Dean to his death, belonged to him, he having loaned it to Mr. Dean the morning of the accident. A double red reflector was produced as evidence which Mr. Austin recog­ nized a?’ having belonged to his bug­ gy, when he loaned it. It was at­ tached to the left of the buggy and could be seen quite brightly, * when lights shone on i it, according to a test he had made when he first used it. Lome MacKenzie described the damage done the car, the brakes, lights and steering of which were in good order. Asked if he could, es­ timate the force required to do the ' stated damage, he replied that “nothing very strong was broken.'* Found Reflector u I *Mr. James M. Bowler, brother-m-. 1 law of the deceased man, explained that the night of the accident some­ body handdd him the reflector telling him to keep it as it might come'iff handy. He thought he received it either from “Ike”1 Ensign or Bob Hamilton. He had kept it at • his home until the morning of the m- ‘ quest when “Nace” Dean, brother of the accident victim had taken1 it to Kincardine. Hamilton was then called and testified that after orders were given to clean up the road, his 12-year-old son Jimmie discovered the reflector lying face downwards, and that he (the father) handed it to Mr. Bowler. That concluded the evidence and a ’few briqf remarks by the Crown, and questions by the jurors followed before they retired. Mr. Freeborn pointed ^out to the jury that it wasn’t necessary to , . hold an inquest to find that this man was killed by a car, the object was to find whether or not the driver ^as to blame. “Do^’t eVade the issue, make a finding one way or another”, z' he said. ‘ i 1 •?? been quite ill the past few week?, is improving.”......
