NO RECOMMENDATION
MADE-AFTER INQUEST INTO WOMAN'S DEATH

whether charges would be preferred.
From the police report, I judge the

accident,' he said. "However, I am
awaiting the coroner's report."

Testimony of Brokamp was that he
first saw Mrs. Hunt when she was
standing in the middle of the street
looking toward him. He put on. the
brakes and stopped as soon as pos
sible but the car struck her and knock
ed her down. When she fell her feet were about a foot from the front axle. He helped carry her into the Fosler Drug store, and then went out
to shut off the motor of his car. La
ter acting on the advice of a police officer he presented himself at the
police station, he 6aid. Frank Slade, 40 years old, an em
ploye of the Starr Piano company, was an eye witness to the accident- He
said Mrs. Hunt was about half way across the street and turned to go back when she saw the truck. This
brought her in front of the machine.
Another woman had stepped off the curbing and was only a short distance
out at the time.
