I AGED WOII HIT j Bf SPEEDING ill (Continued from Page One.) pectivc passengers were waiting to i board it, an automobile driven by a woman and carrying two children in the rear seat, came speedily down Fifth East street and attempted to pass through the half dozen or more persons waiting tor the car. Mrs. Lee was unable un-able to get out of the way of the speeding speed-ing machine and was struck with such force, ilr. Martin said, that a fender j w-as torn entirely from the machine, j bent and crumpled where it hit the j woman 's body. I Witnesses- said that Mrs. Le, who is 60 vears of age, was thrown into the j air by the automobile and came down with the full force of her body on the fender, the dents showing tliat she struck chout twelve inches from the front of the mudguard. At this moment the street car came to a stoo and Deputy Martin leaped through the window to the ground, lie called on the woman driver to halt, but instead her car leaped ahead at an increased in-creased speed, when the officer drew his pistol and fired several shots. Fear that her children, who occupied the rear seat, would be injured by the shots caused her to bring the ear to a stop. The injured woman was taken to the emergency hospital by an ambulance, where it was found that she had sustained sus-tained a serious hurt to her left knee ajul cuts and bruises covered almost her entire body. Particularly severe lacerations lacera-tions were discovered about the head. There was hardly a place on the woman wo-man 's body that was not scratched or bruised in some manner. Later she was removed to her home. How Mrs. Lee escaped death was a marvel to those who witnessed the affair, af-fair, . Her body fell near the wheels of the moving street car between it and the automobile, yet the wheels of both vehicles misled her. Mrs. Kelling was taken to the police station by Deputy Martin, where she exhibited interest in the injured woman. Sho said, when closely questioned by officers, that she became excited after 6he had struck Mrs. Leo and in endeavoring endeav-oring to put her foot on the brake she put it on the gas accelerator and the car speeded up. She censored Deputy Hartin for firing on her, saying that h endangered not only her life, but that of her . little boy and girl who were in the rear seat. A mystery developed as to the ownership own-ership Of the machine through the fact that it carried the number 16983, according ac-cording to Deputy Martin, wdio took the. automobile to the police station. The state official register of automobiles, in a recent -supplementary list, show:s that number 16983 is owned by Mrs. Caroline E. Andcrsou, the wife of a chiropractic of Park City. After the officers discovered this discrepancy, dis-crepancy, they questioned Mrs. Kelling closely regarding her license number. She became reticent and, after some hesitation, said the salesman she bought the car from went with her to the cap-itol cap-itol anil obtained her license tags. She suid that she remained in the car while he went in and got them. The register shows that car 16S03 is a Buick, while the car driven by Mrs. Kelling is a new Oh-mpian. She said that she bought it from the Paijje Motor Stiles company. Mrs. Kolling s name does not appear as an automobile owner on any of the supplementary lists on file wdth the police department. The officers were at loss to know how she came into possession of numbers that are listed in the name of the Park City doctor's wife. The woman driver said she did not know Mrs. Anderson. It was learnofl from Park City sources last night that Dr. and Mrs. Anderson Ander-son had left there for Salt Lake yesterday yester-day morning, driving a car carrying the number 16983. At. the police station the affair was turned over to Deputy Sheriff Martin, police officials explaining that they did not care to interfere in the case as long as n countv officer was working on it.' The deputy said as he left the police station with the woman driver that he would certainly hold her to answer. Mrs. Kelling is the wife of the manager man-ager of the Cranite Drug company. She wns reported very ill with nervous prostration at a late hour la-d night as a result of the accident. Physicians 'were called in to attend her. At the emergencv hospital she had seemed affected and Kiid that she had only reccntlv purchased the automobile ryici was a green driver. |
