I MOTOR TRAGEDY NEARI I BANGOR.
MOTOR TRAGEDY NEAR I BANGOR. YOUNG CHAU IT KIR COMMITTED FOR I TRIAL. CORONERS COMMENTS. I The Coroner for North Carnarvonshire (Mr Pcntir Williams) and a jury resumed last Friday night at the Boys' School, Llande- gai, the inqiuvt t-ouchinthe death of Richio Uray Jones (3), of Ifolly Cottage, Llandegai. Mr Thornton Jones appeared for the driver of t'ie car, IlaroiJ Russell Jones (17), Llan- fairfcchan. Mr H. C. Vincent also attended on of lord Ilenrlivii, irid expressed his lordship's sympathy with the bereaved parents N-tio aic tCDanttE oil the renrhyn es- tate..Mr John Griffith, Chief Constable of i .unarv'oi-'siiirf, wus also present. Dr. Pritchard, lictiiesda (retailed), describ- cé1 the injuries sustained by the deceased. There I\as a IJrlljsc across the small of the back, much more pronounced on the right s;'H' of the spine. There was a good deal of swelling on tlw right side. lie concluded tlii i, suffering from severe in- ternal injuries to the abdominal organs, which caused death. It was evident that he had t"n c-r.islied between two hard substances, ile knew the child, who was generally healthy and normal. The injuries did not indicate that he ran against any object. The Coroner Do you suggest that the car went over t.he boyI suggest that he was crushed between two hard substances. Metric Shipley, a young girl, living in I.aude^ai, tta:ed that at ihe time of the a-.vuk-nt the deceased was playing with it 1I!II1I,r of children on the gravel. They were fairly rtdl, but when they heard the hooter oi tne motor car they spread about. The hooter was sounded wlten the car was about cignt feet trom the children. Deceased tried tu run to the wail but the car calllc up and he then stood still. The mudguard struck him. .Nir Thornton lo!!es NA'Iiy d;(] N-oti not speak t., The driver H jll sawall you say you 1!id I did not say anything to him. !>id you think that he was not to blame? — 1 was frightened and J took hold of the b>y.

And it pulled up before it went over the boy—Yes. Did you think the child had been hurt: — No. I thought he was frightened. The Chief Constable Was tiie boy on the private part':—^e. on the gravel. And that is dear away from the main road Y C". And char away frum the entrance to tlte village: — Yes. !)o you suggest it is necessary for cars to leave the main rorul and travel on the gravel if they wish to turn to RethcsdaNo, thery if pi-enty of loom to tarn before going on tin- gravel. If the man driving tile ear had his wits about h.im couki he have seen the children r— Yes. Do yoa think that the driver knew hp had struck the boy ?--He never said a '),,or(i. lie IIII"I" made any inquiries. EVIDENCE OF LADY OCCUPANT. Misci Phyllis I'edern, manageress of Die llotei Regimi, l.lanfairfeehan, stated that the car which beionuxd to Mr Jones, a neighbour oi t'leir's, was hired to go to Hettwsycoed. A< tiuy came to the s!i:i;:re at Llandegai they could see a lot of children piayntg on the gravel. Most of them went to the wall on the right side, bat the rall back- wards and forward- and then fell. She, thought I the car had stopped by then. A little girl picked the boy up and w;tuess jumped out of the car. She examined the child and found his knees, were scratched, and lie appeared to be very frightened. W itness$|>okc. to the girl who was holding the child and she gavo the child a shilling. After waiting eight or te n minutes they went away not thinking the child was hurt, in the direction of Bethesda. The fir.-t they lu-ar l about the child having been injured was when the police made in- quiries. She did not know wiiy the car went oil the gravel. Jt stopped iieaz- tjlc iiilin en- trance to the village. Uy Mr Thornton Jones As far as witness could see the driver could not hare done more than he did to avoid the accident. They lelt no jerk. The driver was quite sober and v. as a careful driver. Madame Ines De Averallo, proprietress of the Hotel Regina, Llanfairfechan, said that when she saw the children she told the driver to go slowly and he sounded the hooter as they approached the children. There was no traffic on the niiiii road. The deceased rau backwards and forwards in front of the car "lid fell. She thought the car had stopped before touching the child. Witness did not. alight from the car. The first time she heard there had been an accident was the fol- lowing day. Answering Mr Thornton Jones witness said the driver could not hare done anything more than he did to avoid an accident. If she thought that the child had been injured she would not have gone on. She imagined the child was only frightened. By the Chief C-onstable: Willles thought the child fell in fright. Harold Russell Jones (17), son of Mr J. M. Jones, motor car proprietor, Sunfield, Valley- road, l.lanfairfeehan, after being cautioned by the Coroner, said he was a licensed driver, and had served an apprenticeship with a firm of motor car owners. lie was engaged on the day in question by Madame Avarcllo. On the square at Llandegai he saw several child- len playing on the edge of the gravel. Ho blew the horn when roming lip the hill to Llandegai and again between the two en- trances to the village. All the children ran to the uther side of the road except the de- ceased, who stopped still. When witness came up to him gradually, deceased t-ried to ran backwards and forwards three times. At the time witne.s had his handbrake on and his clutch out and brought the car to a dead stop. It was an Overland car, 15 to 20 h.p., and weighed 1 ton 0 cwts. empty. Tlie wheel of- the car n>ver touched the boy. If the mudguard touched him it ii-otil(i liave thrown him away from the wheel. When wdness left tile pol deceased was crying. There were some scratches on deceased's knees, but they were not bleeding. The rea- son why he went to that part of the gravelled area was that. he always took parties there to see the model village, but lie was not asked to (Jo w that day. He did not alig-ht from Ihe car. He not aware an accident had occurred. Oues";jol;(.d ])A- -tlrr -Ttiorjiton Jones, witness denied that the car touched the, deceased. There was no uotiee prohibiting cars going on he raY{>1. By the Chief Constable: The deceased was in his full view all the time. One of the ladio; gave deceased a shilling, and lie grabbed it in his hand. The Coroner, in addressing the jury, of whom the Vicar of Llandegai (Rev. D. Ail- drew Jones) was foreman, said it was a seri- ous ease. The accuracy of the girl Shipley's dd cript ion of the occupants of the car, as subsequently proved, showed that her intel- ligence and power of observation could be re- li'H.l upon. As to the rest of her evidence :;1". distinctly stated that she saw the car knock the boy down and pass 0:1 to his body and the injuries from which the bov died were consistent with her story. Ile (the Coroner) cinihl not see how they could believe whar, the driver said. It was utterly impos- sible and they could have no doubt that the boy died from injuries inflicted by the car, <■ o her question they had to decide was whether there was criminal negligence on the part of the driver. Had the accident oc- curred on the main road and the cllild had acted as the chauffeur and t.he two ladies with him had stated, the jury woutd be justi- fied in saying it was an accident. But in this case the children were not on the main road at all and even on a highway, :t driver had no right to run down a pedestrian. There was certainly a grave error of judgment on the part of the driver. VERDICT OF JURY. I After an absence of 20 minutfts, the jury found that the child had died from injuries caused by the car driven by JIarold Russell Jones and that there was prima facie evi- of culpable negligence on Jojies l part. Jones was occordingly committed for trial for manslaughter at the forthcoming Carnar- vonshire Assizes on the Coroner's warrant, bail being allowed. It was fixed at P-150 with two sureties at £ j0 each. Jones' father and Madame De Crave)lo became the sureties. POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS. I ACCUSED ACQUITTED. At a special ponce court at Baugor on W eJuesday. before S'r Ilenry Lewis (chair- I man), the Mayor of Bangor (Mr R. J. Wil- liams). the Rev. W Morgan. St. Ann's, and Mr W. D. Hobson. Harold Russell Jones was charged with manslaughter. Mr S. R. Dew prosecuted for the police, Mr Thornton Jones defendeo and Mr David Jone.«, Llanrwst, watched the proceedings on behalf of Madamo Averallo. who was an occupant of the motor car. Mr S. R. Dew recapitulated the facts, and mentioned that the tragedy occurred on the private property of Lord Penrhyn just outside Llandegai village. Mr Thornton Jones I object to any ques- tion of private property being raie.d. Tiio only question before the court is one of man- slaughter. Mr Dew: I am not putting it forward as a question of any right, but as a fact. Whcro this lad met his death is not a public road but- private property. Proceeding. Mr Dew- contended that tLc accused having seen tho children playing from a long distance, d;d not exercise that ordinary and reasonable care which he should have done, and which, the prosecution submitted, amounted to cull pable negligence, which resulted in the death of the child. Some drivers of motor cars ] seemed to think that pedestrians must moyo ont of their way and that they must- never movo out of the way of pedes'rians. Mr J. Bird (junior), foreman at the Pen. rhyn Estate Works, produced a plan of the lo- cality where the fatality cccuired. He said it would no,. be necessary for a motor car tQ come, to Llandegai village if the driver in- tended turning up to Bethesda. By Mr Thornton Jones There was no no- tice prohibiting motor cars from going on the gravelled area in front of the village. Thomas Owen (12), Llandegai. deposed that he saw the motor car coming along very last, and it knocked down Richie Gray Jones. Tho hooter was not sounded. Questioned by Mr Thornton Jones witness said he couid no' see the front of the car. When the driver saw the children he slowed down and came to a; stop He could not say whether the. car s'ruck the boy down. Thomas R. Pcrcival (14). Holly Cottage, Llandegai, stated that the motor car camo along rather fast. lie saw deceased under the wheels. By Mr Thornton Jones He could not. see the front wheels from where lie was standing. The car slowed down when it camo to the gravel. EYE WITNESS OF THE ACCIDENT. Home Shipley (1")t years). Llandegai. saiu. the hooter of the car sounded when about nine feet from the children playing oil the gravel. She now identified the driver of tho car. He smiled when he saw the children scatter before the car. Deceased was a cou:iin of her, When he heard the hooter, deceased ttied to run towards the village wall, but finding the car so near him he stood still for a moment and the mudguard touched him and he fell on his back. The wheel went, over the deceased. That was. it went -half over his body. Witness went.to the boy. and when she pulled at him the car jerked back. The driver neither bpoke nor got out of the car. By Mr Thornton Jones She saw the right mudguard of the car strike the deceased. She could see both front wheels at the time. The wheel did not go over the deceased but up his side. The deceased did not run across the front of the car. Two or three people say that he did. you, know,-llc did not. The children were sent on the gravel because it was considered safe. Could the driver have done anything that he did not do to avoid the accident':—Ho could have turned before coining on tho gravel. But after:—He could have stopped beforo coming into the children. There wa5 plenty of room for him without coming oil the gravel. She did not think any of the children saw the car ti!! it came o-i the gravel. One of the ladies came down and gave the child a shilling and said, "Buy tonu sweets." The; lady did not ask her if the child was all right, but she said she did not think he hurt. only frightened. Dr. Trie-hard, Bethesda said severe external violence must have caused the injuries tho boy received. By Mr Thornton Jones: He did not con- sider a post mortem wa.; nccessaiy as thl) symptoms were conclusive to him. But your evidence is not- worth much since you did not see the internal organ-:—I givo it for what it is worth He considered tha appearance of bruise un the back indicated all injurv sufficient to cause death. He had no doubt at all that tho child was so injured by the car as to cause its death. Tdadame ines De Avrallo. one of tiie oc- cupants of the car. was next callcd by the prosecution. She gan- an estimate of the distance of the car from the children when she sflw them, and said the driver couid havo stopped within that di,tanec before reaching the children. He did slow down and finally stopped dead. The deceased ran three tunes backward and forward in front of the car. and finally fell in front of the ca1'- Silo thought he fell through, fright. fehc saw Hit: ,r¡tne: norric Shipley come and pick up the deceased. As far as she could remember the child was a couph- of yards in fiout of the car, but "he could not be sure By Mr Thornton Jones The driver was driving very carefully, and as they approach- ell the point in question was sounding hiy horn continually. She did not feel the shock of any obstruction. The car stopped quietly. -Miss IVdvin got out and she heard that lady say to Florrie Shipley. "Do you think he is all right:" The answer was "He is only frightened." No one made any accusation against the driver at the time. lte-ex-iniined There were only chikhen present at the time. Miss Phyllis l'ecivin. the other lady occu- pant of the car. manageress of the previous witness' hotel at Llanfairfechan, said sho had heard Madame Avarello's evidence, which she agreed with. She got out of the car when it stopped. She said to Florrie S_ hip- I ley, "h the child hurt" and the girl re- plied "Only frightened." She put a shilling ftl his hand which he clasped at once. and told him to buy some sweets. There was nothing blameworthy in the driver's conduct. By Mr Dew: She took it the driver couki have seen all the movements of the child from where he sat. Could ho have stopped the car before ho reached the dlild ;-1 thought the car had stopped before lie reached the child. I can't say whether he could have stopped the car be- fore he reached the children. She had look- cd for injuries, but did not notice whether anv part of his clothing had been torn. 1» S Davieis gave measurements of the scene of the fatality and said. in answer to Mr Thornton Jones, that there were uo marks of the ground having been torn up by sudden application of the brakes. When charged the defendant made no reply. PC J. W. Henderson (14) stated that ho was instructed to make inquiries as to tho car alleged to have occasioned the death of the child. The number ot ttie car had no. been taken: He called upon the accused and asked if he had been out the prcvfous day with his car ? The accused admitted that he had been to Bettwsyco^. He said in answer to further questions that he saw children on the hill leading to Llandegai. but he denied hav- ing met with an accident. Witness asked him if he had stopped at Llandegai and ho replied "No." Witness told him a child had been knocked down by a motor car, and ac- cuscd asked if he was hurt. Cross-examined: Accused seemed unauaie of any accidcnt connected with his car. THE HLt"L:\CK The accuse 1. who pleaded 'not guilty." j rrave evidence. lie explained that he came, alon" the gravelled space in order to show ( his passengers the Model Village He c-niui up the hill at 15 miles an hopr ami. then :Iowcd down to 5 miles an hour and sounded the horr, twice. He pnlkrl up exactly op- posite the main entrance to the village. The children who were playing on the gravel ran towards the wall except deceased, who stood; <4ill Deceased was not on the gravel. H< ran in front of the car three times and when he crossed the second time accused pulled up dead. Then deceased fell of his own ac- cord Accused was not aware that his car struck the decea sed; in fact it could not havo struck him as it was stationary. He was under the impression t-hat the child was only frightened. By)1 r Dew: When deceased fell he was two feet ahead of the car, and when ha wa,. picked up he was still in that position. ?Mr?cw Do you think he got his injuries by falling two feet away from the ci.r--Tlio right hand sprin g might have caught him and throwlI him away. The boy might h;ive ruu into the car when it was standing still. Re examined, accused said he told the con- stable that he did not stay at Llandegai. nvaning t hai he did not stay long there. Mr Thornton Jones, addressing the bench, contended that there was not a shadow of a prima facie case, even of reckless driving. Only one witness "aid .he saw the <ar striking th'>' deceased. Was 1 herr any evidence of tte?UKcnee on the part of the accused? Even th? wittrf?sc- for the prosecution admitted that the horn "was ?onndcd: that the car waa Mini? ? a moderate pace, and that there was no violt-tit disturbance of the ground at tha "-its in quo. There wa- not enough evidence to jllstify even a civil action. All drivers of f motor cars knew how children came, unexpect- edlv from behind waggons or from street corner, and ru?cd wildly into the cars and could it be contended that if a child WM killed under those circnmstanccs the driver v%,as guiitv (r u lp,-Iblo negligence" There was not the slightest chance of a conviction at the assizes. There was no evidence of any speci- Reacts of negligence or recklessness. The Chairman announced that by a major. ity the Bench found that there was net. sufficient evidence to prove criminal negli. gence. and the case would be dismissed.

IPENMAENMAWR URBAN COUNCIL.
I PENMAENMAWR URBAN COUNCIL. I PROPOSED CENTRAL SCHOOL. I PUBLIC LIGHTING DISCONTINUED. The monthly meeting of the Urban District Council was held on Tuesday, Col. C. H. Darbishire (Chairman) presiding, and tho other members present were :-Major Dr. J. R. Williams, Dr. H. Moreton Kobcrts, Messrs K. D. Owen. Thomas KoIkti < W. J. itooerts, Samuel Williams, 11. Hughes. D. A. I-Jryan, and E. W. Koberts, together with the Clerk (Mr J. W. Post), tho Surveyor (lr .11. J. I Tfnsrhes} and r>fh<>r om.,j" Till; MOTOR AMBULANCE. The Chairman called attention to the motor ambulance which was to be stationed at Pen- niaenmawr. and pointed out that there would be some expenditure to be met such as £13 a. year for storage. A:9 for insurance, and thero would bo other minor expenses. As the am- bulance was intended to serve Llanfairfechan a? well, as Penmaciimawr he thought it only right that Llanfairfechan should hell) to maintain it. It was resolved to ask the Llanfairfechan Council to assist by paying a portion of tha cost of maintaining the motor ambulance. IMPROVED POSTAL FACILITIES SUSPENDED. The Chairman stated that there had re-I ccntJv been a great improvement in the pOHal facilities at Penmacnmawr. but. unfortunate- ly, they had been suspended for a week (laughter). A MYSTERY MEDAL. Tile unairman sal(1 mat ne nau received a letter from Captain Cottrill. Camaivon, ask. ing him to prev-cnt a Meritorious Service Med- al to Sergeant-Major T. Evans, of 20, Bell Cottages, Penmaenmawr. who was uuabje to attend at Carnarvon last Saturday to receive it. lie (the Chairman) added that he had received the Jetter, but had not seen the medal. Major Dr. J. R. Williams said he kncwi that the inail had got the medal as he had seen i t. The Chairman Then how did he get it when I am asked to give it Iiiiii-I Alajor Williiiiis 1 could not sty how ho got it. but I know lie has it. The Chairman Then we can do no more iu the matter. PROPOSED CENTRAL SCHOOL. I Mr v. A. Bryan saia that tie tieciueo to can the attention of the Council to the great need for better education facilities in the Pen- maenmawr district. At present they had to send their children to Bangor and other places to obtain the education wJMch they should have in Penmaenmawr. The Carnarvousnire Education Committee decided in 1913 to erect a Central School at Penmaenmawr. but in the meantime the war broke out. and al- though the scheme could not. therefore, be proceeded with the County Education Corn. mittee promised that Penmaenmawr should have first claim for a Central School after the war. When the plans were passed at that time for the proposed school two-thirds of the cost of the school was to have coma out of the local rates, the county rate pro- viding the remainder, to which Penmaen- mawr agreed. But by to-day things had been altered, so that the county bore the whole of the cost, with the result that there was a great rush for these Central Schools all over the county. Ho proposed that the Council sliould urge upon the County Education Com- mittee the absolute necessity of providing a Central School at Penmaenmawr. and that the local representatives should be asked to support the application. Mr Thomas Roberts seconded. Mr R. 1) Owen said that he would TO further than Mr Bryan and advocate a big- ger question than a Central School for Pen. n-aeninawr. They woald have been iii a very bad position to-day at Penmaenmawr if it had not been for the interest taken in edu- cation by the Darbishire family. But to-day they were living in a new era they were told to create a new world, and were all for re- construction. What better reconstruction conld they have than education, but in this matter Penmaenmawr was miserably behind the times. He proposed that instead of merely asking for a Central School they should ask the County Education Committee to appoint a committee to hold an inquiry in. to the education facilities of Penmaenmawr. Mr W. J. Roberts said that as a headmaster of one of the local schools he knew that tho County Education Committee had a:ready decided that Penmaenmawr was to be one of the centra; when the Central Schools wero provided. The only question, therefore, was whether they would be in the first five or tho last twenty. Mr R. D. Owen: There is nothiug that will weaken this discussion here to-day iuoro than Mr Roberts taking part in it. Mr W. J. Roberts I am not divulging any- thing confidential. and surely there is no harm ill my telling you what every school- master in the county knows. Upon being put to the vote Mr Bryan s motion was carried PROPERTY FOR WORKMEN b DWELLINGS. A letter was read from Mr c. J. iivan?. Eirias Conway-road, offering to sell the pro- perty known ad Eirias to the Council for the sum of £1.200, and stating that the property could be conveniently converted into work- men's dwellings. It was decided to refer the letter to the Roads and Improvements Committee. WAlt PENSIONS COM.MllTJsJi.

I MOTOR NOTES. f I THE GREATEST STRIKE SETTLER. I I (By J. P. ) I Now that the great strike is over and th'j la'iwaymeit back it work, it is certain- ly op{>ortune to call attention to the great part taken by the motor car, both in averting tho -Jisastrous consequences of the strike and hastening its settlement. To put tin ease in a nutshell, had it not been for the motor car, motor lorry, and motor van, the food problem would have spelt national disaster and wholesale starvation in less than a week. And while the food question was by far the most- serious of ail at the same time its solution by no means marked the limitation of the motor to meet the nagonal emergency. In the absence of underground and intra- mural trains, the motor lorries did enor- mous service both locally and in the col- lection and distribution of mails through- out the country. The busy scenes around the Royal Automobile Club and the Auto- mobile Association offices laet week were reminiscent of the early days of the war when almost every motorist in the country camo forward with offers of his car and his services as driver in the great cause. From every branch of the A.A. similar reports of activity were received. The ap- peal of the A.A. for assistance in collect- ing tho mails was responded to by private motorists all over the country. Special cards wero printed by command of the Postmaster-General, and counter-signed by the Secretary of the A.A. authorising pri- vato motorists to carry mailsi Having thus saved the situation, per- haps to a greater extent than any indiv- idual factor, it certainly docs not look like cricket for motor cars an,d motorists to be relegated baelc to the old condition of quasi criminals which til icy have occupied since 1903. Popular appreciation of the vaJuc of the motor oar and the patriotism of tho motorist will never be .lore exuberant than at present. As compared with the grievances of the ra-itwaymen which led to the strike, motorists are suffering posi- tive hardships and political disabilities. If ever there was time to begin an agita- tion it downright earnest for the repeal of tho odious Motor Car Act, it 1S to-day. Ant' if the loaders ot the R. A.C. and A, A. would only tackle the problem with a will, motoring would cease to be the burden it has been for so long. There is another lesson of the late strike as it affects public transport by road which ehould demand immediate atte-ition. It 's only the other day comparatively thalt there was considerable discussion of the future of the roads, when the new Min- istry of Transport should take hokt Ru- mours of light railways to he built here and there, plus die extinction of the Road Board, dlid not promIse well for the futuro of the King's Highways. In view of re- cent experience perbai,* tihe pro railway ministry will reconsider this policy and sa ve the loads for motor traffic should :t. similar emergency arise. A curious comment heard whenever the motor solution of the railway tie-up was being discussed was to the effect that the strikers had put the tirst nail in the coffin of tho railways. Mr Alexander Johnston, J.P., Federation of British Industries, Mwiaging Director of the North British Rubber Company, has been appointed by the President of Board of Trade as a member of the Cen- tral Profiteering Committee. Mr John- ston's wde and exact knowledge of costs and conditions in the rubber trade will doubtless be of immense valuo to the Council. An official announcement by the Press Agent of the Society of Motor Manufac- turers aaid Traders has been issued to the effect that there is no foundation for the rumour that tho November Show at 01. ympia will not be held The settlement of the strike, of course, dispels any possible I grounds there may have been for such rumours. At the same time tilero are many and conflicting reports as to the possibility of getting exhibits to Olympia. owing to the backward condition of works under reconstruction. .Wo notie-J in this week's Flintshire Olxcrtrr that Mr W. T. Tfiorlcy, Caer- gwrle, is accepting orders for the new Moon" cars. We understand that tho Moon" car is an American machine of the highest grade. It carrier six cylinders, and is being ottered for JB775 net cash. One of those cars caji be inspected in Mr Tliorley's garage.

I IMPORTANT OIL SHALE I RESOURCES OF NORFOLK. 1 Beneath the soil d East Anglia lie hundreds of millions of tons of oil shale which, ."d' it had been known during the war, would have s^ved us great anxiety as to our supplies of petrol and fuel oil. In a scries of boreholes put down in Nor- fok by English OUfields, Ltd., the shale h::s been proved to be hundreds of feet thick and to cover an area of about 150 square miles. There is room for 18 to 20 mines, each producing 1000 tons per day; and wero these operating we could obtain enough oil from tiric^e sources to en.ib'o us to dispense altogether with oil im- ports. which iiv 1913 cost. the country approximately £ 50,900,000, the bulk of which went into the pocke.ts of foreigners,
