Did Not Stop

Sergeant Wimsett continued that after Mr. Lillie had done this, he went on to say that, after colliding with the barrier, the car did not stop. Witness then suggested that they should return to the scene of the accident, "I had in my mind at the time," he said, "that someone might have been injured." It was his duty to go to the scene to get all information.

Both Mr. and Mrs, Lillie had agreed to do this with no show of reluctance and Mrs. Lillie and witness then entered the rear of the car with Mr.

Lillie occupying the driver's seat. The car was turned around and it proceeded back over Garden Bridge from south to north along Seward Road. It had almost reached the intersection of Seward and Boone Roads when Mrs. Lillie told her husband that this was not the place.

Witness then suggested turning to the right which would bring them to the intersection of Boone Road and Broadway. Here Mrs. Lillie recognized Broadway Bridge and_indicated that this was the place, They turned left and pulled up at a barrier almost on the crown of the bridge.
