In accordance with the plan as already

sponded so nobly to the cause of sweet
charity, a check for this amount was
taken to the Tabernacle infirmary Thurs
day morning and placed in the trembling
hands of the woman for phoee aid. relief
ai«d comfort it has been given.
The joy of the poor mother when she
received the news, and realised that ten
der. loving people had contributed such
a sum toward the assurance of the com
fort of her babies in the future, was in
describably touching.

The newspaper, in its answer, will,
as a matter of fact, be compelled to
admit that tlie word “co-respondent"
does not appear V the divorce petition,
but will argue that the statements re

STEEL BRIDGE, BOY >
IMA! OIEAS RESULT
Rapidly Moving Car Smashes t**
a Wreck Against Girder on Ma

CLOSE CALL TO DEATH .
ENDS BOY’S JOY RID®
Adgie Whitaker Badly Hurt-Four
Other Boys Injured—Fal-Car of
Jackson-Cerf Motor Co. Is
Wrecked.
One young boy may die, and four
others are more or less seriously injured,
as the result of an automobile accident on
the Marietta road, near Atlant*. Wetlnep- |
day evening.
By the narrow margin of some :hree
feet all of the party in the car missed
death. Within that close did the acCi- *
dent come of being a repetition of th* re
cent Cuthbert horror.
But the margin sufficed, and till noon
Thursday the wreck of a handsome new
Fal-Car, belonging to the Jackson-Cerf
Motor company, Atlanta, remained piled
against one of the steel girders on the T, ,
& N. public bridge upon which the Mari
etta road crosses the L. & N. railway I
tracks, five miles north of Atlanta.
Adgie Whitaker, 15-year-old son of J.
W. Whitaker, assistant yardmaster of
the Southern railway In the Inman yards, a
was still conscious and still alive upon a
- at his home on the Marietta road,’
with no change In his condition expected 1
before evening, suffering with a left |
arm broken in two places near the shout- ,
der, and with internal injuries that held
the serious possibility of a turn for th* i
worse.
Coley Whitaker, 17 years old, brother r
of Adgie Whitaker, was suffering with
a painfully bruised hip. Bennie May
I Whitaker, 12 years old, youngest of th*
three brothers, showed numerous brulag*
and minor abrasions.
THE CHAUFFEUR INJURED. |
Harry Llndborg, driver of the car, wa* ■
not accounted for. He had boarded *
street car at the end of Marietta street-
Inman yard line a few minutes after th*
accident, Wednesday evening, and had,
then disappeared, abandoning the car
where it stood. He was complaining of |
increasing Internal pain when he wa*
last seen then, and has possibly developed,:
serious injuries by Thursday. Th* fore*
of the impact of the car with the steel
girder drove young Llndborg, who is IT
years old, against the steering wheel
with such force as to bend the whole
pear almost upright. Llndborg is a soa
of A. J. Llndborg. 42 Strong street, *
tailor connected with Alfred Caresen A
Co. He was employed as a chauffeur by
the Jackson-Cerf company.
Carl Rentz, 18 years old, the fifth mem
ber of *the youthful party in the wreak. I
is a friend of Lindberg's. He was not
hurt beyond a few bruises and a bad
scare
HAD A BORROWED CAR.
Apparently young Llndborg had rhe car
of his employers out for a joy ride. Renta
was with him when they stopped at th*
|home of the Whitaker boys on the Mari
etta road to warm themselves at th* J
family's fire. They said they had been
to the river, and were on their way back
to town, but they urged the Whitaker
boys to come for a ride with them, and
the invitation prevailed. It was while th*
car was on its way back from the river,
where the party had taken it on a rapid
spin, that the accident happened, at
about 9 o’clock.
The road from Nfiarietta toward Atlanta
Is cherted and smooth for some distance
before the bridge is reached. At th*
bridge the road rises and turns quickly
to the right to enter the steel strjetur*, .1
Laving a sharp drop of a few feet on the
outer side of the eurve to a narrow shelf
in the 30-foot cut. The bridge spans a
wide stretch of tracks.
GOING AT EXPRESS SPEED.
L. W. Brantley, of the state chemist’*
office at the capitol. who lives on th* .
Marietta road not far from the scene of
the accident, says that he was walking
along the road ‘just beyond the brldg* a
toward the river when the car whizzed g
by at express speed. He expected trou- •
ble at the sharp turn tow’ard which the
car was plunging, he saya and he turned;/
to listen, hearing the collision almost
immediately. \ r
The car made enough of the turn to
collide with one of the slanting girders of
the bridge. Three feet short of that ’
girder it would have jumped through the
span and crashed through the wood
guard rail to the tracks below.
THE CAR BADLY WRECKED.
The car was wrecked. Both tires on th*
inside of the curve exploded, and both
wheels on the outside were stripped clean |
from the hubs, every spoke being broken.
The lamps and guard rod were smashed,
and the motor was badly shaken, though .
the bonnet remained intact. The frost
seat was carried away bodily and Jtmmed
into the tonneau. It was here that Adgie
Whitaker was mashed. The attending
