• 'Mariuf said then that she would go,

12 o'clock. Bbß said that our street %\as ;
a lonely street, and she didn't want to i
be out after midnight. The next we j
ard was when we got a telephone mes- j
sage this morning, telling us of the ac

i tried to get my mother, but 1 w#s home
and got to the telephone first.
When I got to the hospital at Dobbs
Ferry I was told that my Bister had
1 lived about two hours after the accident j
and that a priest was with her until
■1m died. The priest wrote me a letter j
i to say that he was with her and that |
he had administered the last rites just j
before she died."
Didn't Know It Was "Joy" Ride.
Though Miss Morgan did not know it
when she started out, she was going on
a "joy" ride of the kind that originated
t!ie term. Robert Riely. the chauffeur,
told this to the police after the acci
dent. He said that the car, a big 40
hoi-Bepower touring machine, belonged
to Charles Gromont, of the Wilson Dis
tilling Company, and that he had taken
the car from the garage at No. 171<>
Broadway without Mr. aiuiainfe knowl
edge or permission.
O'Brien carriee a permit from the po
nce giving him ■ right to carry a re
volver as a paymaster, and is said to ba
a pa j ■■■■■! rr for the Consolidated Gas
Company. After taking the car out |
K ,<lv picked up his friend O'Brien, and
they got attaa Mullen and went for Miss
Morgan to complete the party.
Riely told the iwlice that after they
got Miss Morgan they went up through
Jerome and Webster avenues, stopping
at several places for drinks. He could
not explain how They happened to be
flying north on the Albany Post Road at
•> o'clock in the morning:, when they
were Buppoaed to be back in ir.Oth street

THE CAR GOING AT HIGH SPEED. CRASHED THROUGH FENCE THAT WAS
FMASHED AT BOTTOM OF WALL, AS SHOWN IM THE PICTURE.

fall into the garden.
Scene of Another Fatality.
S«vcii years ago a trolley car got
away from the motorman coming around
the "S" curve, left the tracks, 'lug
through the pldewalk and crashed over
thr wall. A passenger was killed tn this
accident, and the picket fence was re
built. The car now stands on the Chrys
tle property.
Riely took the first part of the curve
safely, but as well as can be judged his
car muct have skidded on the trolley
tracks, and he shot across the sidewalk
and broke through the fence, taking part
of th< retaining wall with him, and
dropped into the garden. The car seems
to have rebounded axid turned turtle, for
it wsf found on the far side of. the little
brook, bottom side up. and with the ton
neau torn off and the englno and radia
tor broken apart.
Robert English, caretaker of thr
Chrystie ' property, heard the crash of
the machine going over the wall, and ran
for John O'Leary, an officer of the Hast
ing!* police. The two ran back to the
scene of th*> accident and found Miss
Morgan pinned under the forward end
of the car. with her back broken by the.
engine and her clothes saturated with
gasolene. The other members of th"
party were lying fifteen or twenty feet
from the car, and all were unconscloiiK.
Policeman O'Connell had come up by
this time, and several persons had
gathered from the neighboring houses.
O'Connell telephoned for Dr. V. R. r,y
man, of Hastings, and Dr. Robert Drni
aon, of Dobbs Ferry, while the car was
being lifted from Miss Morgan. The
rescuers had to work in the dark, as
they were afraid to bring matches or
lanterns near the wreck, on account of
tho escaping gasolene.
Convent Medsi on Breast.
When Miss Morgan was brought out
from under the car a medal from the
Convent of the Sacred Heart was found
pinned on brr tireast. and < t'Connell
telephoned for Father O*Keefe, of St.
Matthews Church, Hastings. Father
O'Keofe ndminiptored the last rites of
the church to Miss Morgan and went
with her to the hospital at pobhs Ferry.
where he stayed with her until she died,
and again administered th»> last rites
just before her death.
An ambulance and an express wagon
had also hern sent for and as soon as
the injured persons could be got to the
road the little procession started for th<*
hospital at DobtM Ferry. Mi.^p Morgan
was carrird in an ambulance, and this
was followed hy tho express wagon,
carrying Miss Mullen. The two men
were tak^n in the automobile of on«> of
th>' doctors.
Others Likely to Die.
Miss Morgan died shortly before 5
o'clock, without regaining consciousness.
O'Brien was found to have a broken col
larbone and internal injuries, while both
Riely and Miss Mullen had fractured
skulls and Internal Injuries. It was said
at the hospital last night that thrre was
no hope that any of the three could live.
Police Justice Jamer, E. Hagan. of
Hastings, went to the hospital and. held
Tllely on a charge of manslaughter until
the arrival of Coroner Albert H lies, of
Tonkers. The Coroner then took charge
of the case and put an officer on guard
at the hospital to await the result of
Rlely's in 1m i<"

And Some cf the Very Best
of the September China Sale
Offerings Come Today!
Rather curious condition has occurred.
Because thi* has been the largest sale in our history, the last few day
find us with some of the best things still to sell.
And this is why !
In the first place, we bought more largely than usual for this sale.
In the second place, the success of the sale caused dealers to bring us some unexpected sample
lines.
In the third place, the heavy buying has broken several of our regular lines, which we i
now close out at very low prices. The latter refers to French and English china plates, in the ric
border decoration.
About ten days ago we made a special purchase of 3,000 fancy china samples to sell at half price
and less than half price.
Two tablcsful remain — good assortment of plates, a few tups and saucers, few chocolate pots,
covered dishes, biscuit jars. Because of the broken collection, prices have dropped even lower than
those marked originally. Regular $1 plates will be sold at 25c — the same ratio of value applit
the other articles. v
On another table about 300 French and English china plates from our own stock. Of some a
complete dozen, of many only two or three or even one of a kind. All of fine quality, beautifulh
decorated, mostly rich border designs. Prices for this sale have been from one-third to one-half
On Monday to clear out the few. prices are made even tower.
In cut glass a limited group at the best values ever given in this store or in any other I
This refers only to limited quantity and cannot be duplicated after that lot sells.
In dinnerware we have had the largest number of sales ever recorded in one month here. W«
have for today a supply of Theodore Haviland dinner sets at:
$15, instead of $22.50. $17.50, instead of $25. $35. instead of $60.
A belated dinner set arrival comes from England to sell at $15, instead of $25. English po
lain from one of the finest and oldest English potters. It is composed of 100 pieces, including three
meat dishes, two covered dishes, soup tureen, and all the other valuable and expensive large pieces,
included in our regular composition. Border decoration of a black Greek key on brown bar with
edging of gold — one of the most effective designs in our entire stock. One of the newest French
shapes. In our regular stock we have sets at $35. with exactly the same decoration in a little lighter
tone in not so new a shape We ourselves like this at $15 better. But please remember only a.
limited quantity which cannot be duplicated Secrwid Gallery, New Building.
