Mary Baker Eddy has created a valid public trust which can be administered by a trustee appointed by the court. The ’ decision also declared that, the heirs can not inherit Mrs. tiddy’s prop erty. The court holds that the Massachu | setts statute limiting the amount of a i bequest to a religious body applies in l the present instance as against the ad i ministration of this trust bj' the direct- I ors of the Christian Science church, but that a valid trust having been created it can be administered tn accordance with Mrs. Eddy’s wishes by another trustee.

Gonnerat was driving his little gray roadster dow.n the splendid road w hich parallels the ('entral track from Jonesboro toward Atlanta On the rails behind him came the fast train, thun dering toward the city. Just ahead the dirt road turned sharply to the left am crossed the track. The motorist evi dently thought he could send his car acros- the rails before the train could reach the crossing, but he miscalculated by a second. The pilm struck the gray car be tween front wheel and redr, lifted it from the track and .-wriil it sixty feet. Then the grea locomotive climbed over the battered wreck of the automobfi and ground it into splinters, with the body of its driver underneath. When the train was stopped, half a mile be yond the ( Tossing, the mutilated bouy of Conner.-it was with difiii ulty torn from the tangled wreckage of his cai There was no more widely known an tomobile dealer in Atlanta than R. V Gonnerat. He was one of the pioneers in the business, and unde, his direction tin- Bui< k Company' had built up an en viable business in the South. H< was .1 fearless and speedy driver, as he had proved on all the important automobih tours in Southern territory, but he wa known as a careful one, and accidents were rare when he was at tile wheel. Those who know him say there must have been some good reason for his at tempting the race with the locomotive for it was his custom lo cross the tracks on low gear, and always to wait sot trains to pass. Fri»nd« Identify Body. L. S. Crane and Wylie West, two lo cal automobile dealers and intimate friends of Gonnerat, were driving to At lanta over the same road, and were but a mile or two behind the unfortunate man. They came up just as the train, crew was extricating the wreckage, ami after a few moments they recognized the bruised body as that of their friend, whom they had seen in his car but a short time before. They telephoned the news to Miss Anna Connerat, a sister, who is a guest at her brother’s home, No. 5 West Fourteenth street. The news was kept from Mrs Connerat as long as possible. Joseph W. Hill and a few other intimate friends went to the Ter minal station to meet the body, which bad been brought to the city on the train which had struck the car. Engineer Saw Motorist. Engineer T. B. Ragsdale, who was running the train, said he saw Con nerat just before the collision, “He was driving at about fifty miles tin hour, and my engine was making at least that, as it was down grade and there was nothing ahead of me.’’ said the engineer. “1 saw the man in the auto draw'ing ahead of me on the par allel road, and I felt that he was racing for the crossing. I whistled for the crossing and then blew the cow signal. When I saw him still running for the crossing. I jammed on the brakes. If 1 had not, be would have struck my en gine broadside, near the drivers, and would have sent us from the track. Only the great weight of the engina held It on the track, as it w-as.” Mr. Connerat left liis home last week, and it was thought he was In Jackson ville. He was accustomed to travel everywhere in his car, and had been visiting the Macon agent for his com pany on his way back to Atlanta. Bob Eagan, the Macon agent, said Mr. Con nerat was alone when he left Macon. It was at first reported that another man was seen in the car just before the crash, but no other body- was found in the wreckage. Pioneer Auto Man. Mr. Connerat was 45 yeans old and a native of Savannah, where he engaged in the automobile business when mo tors were In their infancy. He came to Atlanta more than three years ago to take charge of the Buick agency at that time the third largest In the country. He married Miss Catherine Hillyer. a daughter of Rev. John Hillyer, and they had two children, aged four and two years. He was a son of E. H, Connerat, and a brother of William Connerat. both of Savannah. He was a member •if several clubs in both cities. He was fond of outdoor sports, and at one time was the champion bicycle rider of tiw South. Alfred C. Newell, insmauce man. de clared today Mr. Connerat was tn. most careful of drivers and scouted the theory that he was racing with the train. TWO MORE DIAZ MEN SHOT.
