The jitney bus was running south on State street less than ten rniU-s an hour, aeordinr to Uewelyn and his passengers, passen-gers, when the trolley car, soing west on . Fifth South, struck it. Passengers in the jitney said they expected the trollev would alow up at the intersection, but ir , did not, they Bay, as far as they could : see. Driver Llewellyn paid when he saw the trolley did not slow down, he turned his machine toward the west and thereby avoided the full force of the Impact. This, he believes, saved the lives of himself and his passengers. The impact wrecked his car, however. No one was hurt in the trolley car, on which there were a number num-ber of passengers. There is a question between the motor-man motor-man and the driver of the jitney. The former says he rans his gons and slowed down. The latter says he heard no gong nor did he. see the trolley slow down. Two of the three passengers corroborated the driver with reference to the gong. The street was wet and snow was falling. Ball left the scene of the wreck a few minutes after the collision, saying he was going to get a doctor to dress his wounds.
