He appeared somewhat con futed in his remembrance of the ac cident but testified that he had rid den down Court and turned into Lee when he saw the auto hearing down upon him. The car was on the east side of the street, he said, and was coming directly toward him. He tes tified that he hesitated to see if the driver would turn to the right and, thinking he was not going to so turn, ho guided his bicycle to his left Just as the car was swerved in the same direction nnd struck him. He admit ted that he was riding through the frame of a man's bicycle. Preceding Mr. Phay, his sister-in-law, Mrs. Douglas Phay, was called but her testimony was valuable only as corroborating Mr. Phay' subse- quent testimony as to being at the scene of the accident. She did not see the collision, she said, her view being obstructed by the wagons stand ing along the curb, She did testify that the auto was traveling at a pret ty h'gh rate of 'speed. TcsUrics to Tracks. J. M. Ferguson was one of the wit nesses of the plaintiff called to testi fy as to the tracka and marks on the pavement. He examined the pave ment on the day following the acci dent, he testified, saw a large spot of blood on the pavement east of th center line and running about five feet toward the'east curb. He saw some auto tracks, apparently coming from the north and on the east side of the street, he said, which swerved sharply to the southwest Just north of the blood spot. He drew a diagram show'ng the tracks and the location of the blood spot. Deputy Sheriff James H. F.stes was next called but his testimony did not prove material. Ho was walking up Court street with K. V. Corley about a book from I,ee street when his at tention was attracted by a woman apparently excited. He hastened for ward and saw the buy lying on the pavement with the occupant of the car standing around him lie left Im mediately, however, he aaid in re sponse to Mr. Thompson's request that he secure a physio nn. On crust ex amination he said he did not rem m ber seeing John Phay but was after wards told that the woman he first saw was Mrs. Phay. E. V. Corley was the last wlt.iexs before noon and was examined thor oughly by both sides. His principal testimony had to do with the trucka which he said he noticed after has tening to where the boy lay. He de clared the car was near or against a wagon on the right side of the street with tracks leading from it diagonally across the street to a point about five feet from the east curb where thev straightened and ran parallel with the curb In a northely direction. The tracks where they turned Just before reaching the point of the accident, he said, were heavy and more discernible it being hi presumption that the brake had made the wheels slide. On crosa-examlnation, Col. Raley tried to establish that the witnesses had been making diagram among themselves In order to make their testimony correspond. Tliompfton Firm witness. Judge Bennett for the plaintiff prang a surprise late yesterday aft ernoon when he called as hi first witness none other than W. L. Thompson, the defendant. He re quired the witness to describe the course of his car from the time It left the McComa home on Lewis street until the collision occurred.' The most notable part of Mr. Thomp son' testimony was his declaration mat his automobile was stopped when the collision occurred, a statement that is In striking contradiction to the contention of the plaintiff that the machine was traveling at a rate exceeding the speed limit of 15 miles per hour. Mr. Thompson staled that he and Ms wife and son had taken dinner with Mr. and Mrs. McComas on the evening of July 23, 1914, and that, between :30 and 7 left the house, he driving the car, Mr. McComa.i sit ting at his right, Mrs. McComas di rectly back of him and Mrs. Thomp son in the rear seat with Mrs. Mc Comas. His son Edward, he said, was standing on the right hand run ning board. His intention was, he said, to drive from Lee street into Alta and down Alta to the Alta the ater where his eon was to stop. In turning from Lewi street Into Lee street, he said he drove about to tne center of the Intersection before making the turn, doing this because of the presence of a rick of wood along the west line of Lee street which shut off his view. He did this as a precaution against colliding with any vehicle that might be coming up Lee street behind the woodpile he said. After turning Into Lee street, Mr. Thompson tectlfied, he guided' his car to the right hand side and pro ceeded until near the Intersection with Court when he was obliged to turn a little to the left in order to avoid two Warren, Construction Co. wagons that were standing on the right hand side of the street. He turned out about 25 feet from the tongue of the first wagon, he testi fied and Just as he did so noticed the boy coming toward him, riding inrougn tne frame of a mans bicy cie. jie did not see the boy irom Court street but presumed he had come down that street from the east. Immediately that he noticed the boy making straight for his car. Mr. Thompson said he threw his machine out of gear, applied the brakes and steered his car to the right until he ran Into the first of the two wagons. Almost at the same time that he struck the wagon, he said, the bicy cle struck his car, the front wheel smiting ine uumper in iront aoout a foot or less from the left end. The force of the collision made the bi cycle rebound backward, he said, be fore the boy fell to the pavement. Where the boy struck, he said was Just a few inches beyond the center of the street. Judge Bennett obliged the witness to go into detail in describing his movements, being especially insistent In his requests for distances. Mr. ' ' Our WHITE BEGINS TOMORROW, APRIL 21ST, AT 9 A. M.

The Ladies' Store t Tfiompson declared that at no time was any part of his car beyond the' center of Lee street and he was eare-j ful in all hla answers to deny that his! car collided with the bicycle. "You say you had turned your carl to the right when It struck the bi cycle?" Judge Bennett asked, and Mr. Thompson answered, "My car had Just come to a stop when the bi cycle struck It" Mr. Thompson declared that the boy, riding through the .frame, rode! In a wobbly manner and apparently did not have full control of it. The boy was headed straight for him. he said, and he did his best to avoid the' collision, even to the point of run ning his machine into the wagon. Judge Bennett Inquired whether or not the pavement was soft on that day and whether or not the wheels of the car had cut Into the pavement1 when it was stopped suddenly. Mr. turn! Thompson answered that the pave-i ment might have been a little soft! but that his car did not cut Into it as it was not going fast enough when1 the brakes were applied. Fredericks Steiwer cross-examined the witness, ! leading him over the same ground: and causing him to explain more ful-' ly the happenings Just previous to; the accident. j OiH-nlng Arguments. i The Jury was secured about 3:30j and the opening arguments made,! Judge Bennett and Colonel Raley ad- dressing the Jury. Judge Bennett! read the complaint In the case and declared the plaintiff would prove by1 reliable witnesses that the defendant' was driving on the left hand side of1 the street, was driving faster than1 15 miles an hour and was solely re-: sponsible for the collision. Col. Ra- ley stated that the evidence would show that the defendant was driving slowly, with care and circumspection, fJIOTOtl ROTH CARS m The wheel base is 110 inches.
