Reporter Describes

Scene of Horror By DONNA MIKELS ~~ I'm sick . . . as sick inside as I think I'll ever be. Today 1 saw four things I hope I'll never see again . . « A little boy, one minute poised on a street corner, the next second catapaulted into the air and thrown into a flowing river of his own blood , .. The fear, the sudden knowing look on a mother’s face when you ask: “Do you have a little boy about eight? There's been a boy hit..." Sit" in “Silent Prayer Later in the hospital a pair of parents with faces clenched tight against tears, sitting in silent prayer, knowing only from a scream . from the closed room across the hall or from a comforting nod from a passing man in white that their boy still clings to life. And fourth, I saw the look on the face of Oliver V. Lewis, 46, of 1162 W. 27th St., a passing mo-

_torist who halted his car at the

scene, rushed up to the crowd and clustered about the boy, only to turn away staggered by the horror of what he saw. He walked unsteadily back to his car, suffered. a seizure and died. . For almost 10 years 1 have been writing stories about children struck by cars, names and sta1 5 3 ht - as I was theré when 8-year-ol Paul Prange was injured, perhaps fatally, by a passing car ... and 1 wish I'd been any place else in the world.

Slams to a Stop At the corner of 32d and Central shortly before 8 a. m, today the trackless trolley I was riding halted to pick up a passenger, started up and then slammed to a stop. At the same time outside there was a screech of brakes and something as limp as a bundle of clothes flew up in the air, then out of sight under the wheels of a car. That limp bundle of brown corduroy and tan shirt was eight-year-old Paul “Prange. Even before I could get off the trolley, the day's series of unforgettable sights started. The trolley: operator Lothner D. Bell turned pale and buried his face against the wheel, trying to blot out the horror that lay in the middle of the street. The woman who boarded the car hid her eyes in her hands, repeating: “That child, that little boy.” Then off the trolley, out to the center of the intersection to look at the most tragic sight in the world . . Crying for Help A little boy, crumpled, sobbing, ‘helpless with more than, the helplessness of a child, crying for the help you know you can't give, If every man or woman who drives a car could have stood as I did over Paul Prange today, watching the bright rivers of {blood stream from his broken body. there would never be another scene like it on Indianap‘olis streets. Then crowded into minutes are more hours of terror than I think 1 ever knew. The waiting for police, wondering if there's something you should be doing, something that will make the differ ence,

‘Who Is He?” I turned to the crowd of neighbors. asking “Who is he” Where are his parents?” and one after another looked at the blood covered face and could give no answer. I stood and talked to Joe Mopris, 20, of 5065 W. 11th St. the

_'vouth whose car struck the boy

and couldn't find an answer as jhe described again and again how it happened. He kept saying: “I

“didn’t have a chance.”
