Man Instantly Killed and His
Companion Probably Fatally
Hurt.
New York, Oct. 3.—One man was
killed, a woman probably fatally injured,
twelve other men and women were
slightly hurt and four automobiles were
more or less damaged in a series of early
morning motor accidents today. The
dead man was Edward Ryan of Brooklyn,
and the woman most severely hurt
is Miss Josephine Wagner. They were
struck by a big touring car which tore
through Livingston Street, Brooklyn,
early today while Mr. Ryan and Miss
Wagner were on their way home from
an entertainment.
FLED FROM THE SCENE.
Ryan was instantly killed and Miss
Wagner sustained a fractured skull and
other serious injuries. The driver of the
big car, which was occupied by several
men and women, turned his power to the
highest notch, after bowling over Ryan
and Miss Wagner, and sped away. A
few minutes later a big car occupied by
several men was held up at the Brooklyn
Bridge and the occupants arrested. The
car stopped by the police had both lamps
intact, while the car which struck Ryan
and Miss Wagner lost one of its lamps in
the collision.
