Butterfield Case
—Continued From Page One
accused woman at the accident
scene and later in St. Joseph’s
Hospital.
Mrs. Butterfield said she could
remember nothing of the acci
dent. Her loss of memory ex
tended from happening earlier
the evening of the accident, until
later when she had recollections
of being in hospital.
The day of the accident she
said she had driven to London
from Exeter and remembered
shopping with a friend. She also
recalled paying for a parking
ticket at the city police station,
a ticket she received for over
parking on market square.
She could not remember leav
ing London for the trip home.
Injuries
Dr. Fletcher, who attended
Mrs. Butterfield at the accident
scene and in hospital, said she
had suffered a cut over her right
eye, and appeared to, have been
bruised.
He said Mrs. Butterfield -could
remember nothing of the acci
dent but asked repeatly whether
anyone had been hurt or anyone
killed.
He pointed out, after question
ing by defence counsel, that loss
of memory was common as re
sult of ’ concussion.
“She had signs of concussion
so far as memory changes are
concerned which are the symp
toms that often go with concus
sion,” Dr. Fletcher said. He
added sometimes such loss of
memory often extended prior to
the event causing the concussion
and often could be -permanent.
Five Cars
Summary of evidence given by
crown witnesses in the two-day
trial indicated the five-car pile
up started with collision of the
north-bound Butterfield car with
a car travelling south, operated
by Flying Officer John Brook
field, Centralia.
The Butterfield car went out
of control and collided with a
second south-bound car driven
by Charles Dalton, 151 Devon
shire Avenue, while the Brook
field car also went out of con
trol and continued south and col
lided with cars driven by John
K. Evans, 85 Dakin Street, and
James Lind, Iroquois Avenue.
Both Evans, following the But
terfield car, and Dalton, follow
ing the Brookfield car, testified
that the Butterfield car moved
suddenly out over the centre of
the highway from a line of
north-bound traffic.
In a brief summary of the
crown’s case at opening of the
trial, Crown Attorney C. C. Sav
age claimed the fatal accident
occurred when a north-bound car
allegedly driven by Mrs. Butter
field swung out to pass two girl
bicyclists and collided with an
oncoming car travelling south,
throwing both vehicles out of
control. Three other cars were
subsequently involved.
Mr. Savage said the crown will
endeavour to establish that all
of the subsequent collisions Were
the result of the first act of the
accused in trying to pass the
cyclists.
First evidence submitted by
the crown was testimony of Fly
ing Officer John Brookfield, for
merly of Centralia, and driver
of the car in which Mitoclier was
riding. Flying Officer Stanley
Jenkins, Centralia, was a pass
enger in the right front seat
and Mr. Mitoclier, a hitchhiker
who was picked up near the en
trance • to the air station, was
riding in the rear seat.
Brookfield said he first not
iced the north-bound car he col
lided with a fraction of a second
before the impact. It turned out
fast from the line of north-bound
traffic, was heading over to the
west side of the road, and was about a half car-length away.
After the first collision Brook
field said he was dazed and his
car went out of control, swerved
over to the north-bound lane
where it came in collision with
a second north-bound car.
Miss Lillian Laakso, 494 Te
cumseh Avenue, and Miss Brenda
Hammond, Briscoe • Street,
who were riding north on bi
cycles close to the accident scene,
were also called to give evidence.
Both testified they heard a loud
report a split second before the
crash.
Chhin stores in a shopping
district help rather than harm
the adjacent independent stores
