It was across a shoulder and the ground was not covering his body, he said. His face was against the side of the ditch. The three men testified that Brager was breathing when they took him from the ditch and each said that they heard the physician, who examined him, state that he had a dislocated arm, and that though he didn't appear to be critically injured that the hospital was the place for him. He Like the operator, he said he didn't see the woman prior to the impact.

"I saw something on the right fender. It was about five feet from the Fourth avenue intersection. When the truck stopped near the alley, it dropped off. I didn't know what it was until I got out." Beichler said he could feel the truck sliding from the time Davis hit the brakes following the impact. He said the truck slid sideways.

Testimony also showed that the victim was carrying an umbrella at the time of the accident and Beichler said he saw the open umbrella being handed to the police officer following the accident.

Oyler, Kuhn said that no cribbing was used in the 15-foot section where the accident occurred, and explained that because of the physical factors, it hadn't been cribbed. The clay wasn't wet, the sides seemed solid, there was no crevices, the top had been sloped off and conditions were such that it took no longer to lay the three or four sections than it would have for a man to have gone into the ditch and use cribbing, he said. Under questioning by Attorney Leopold, Kuhn explained that it would have been relatively as dangerous to have sent a man down to crib the sides as it would have been to go in and lay the sections. He also pointed out that the top had been widened out as a precaution against slides. When asked by Mr.

Oyler if the ditch had not been shored because it would have consumed too much time, Kuhn said, "No. If we had needed extra men to complete the job they would have been there." Kuhn said that he and Myers, both of whom were in the ditch, immediately started to remove the earth from Brager and were COOKIES FOR AUNT MAMIE Mamie Moore, second from left, and Ellen Moore, center, rear, present the first box of 1953 Girl Scout cookies to their aunt, Mrs. Mamie Eisenhower at the White House, Feb. 24.

Laratonda was wearing dark clothing at the time of the accident, that it was raining very hard at the time of the accident and indications were that the victim had just about completed the crossing of Lloyd street near Fourth avenue. He said that one of the victim's shoes was found nine feet north of the Fourth avenue intersection at Lloyd street and that another shoe was found the next afternoon on Fourth avenue. The shoe on Lloyd street, the point of impact as described by the operator, Clifton T. Davis, and a passenger, Gerald Beichler, accounted for three separate points of impact, he said and gave the measurements from these to where the body was as 103 feet, 47 feet and 52 feet. He said that the operator said he had been going 25 miles an hour and that a test was made by Officer George Stere, co-investigating officer.

Arnsberger, the shovel operator, testified he had stopped working while they were laying the pipe and said that there was no sign of weakness or no indication of a loose piece of earth. "It seemed to fall out of nowhere," he said. "All three men working in a group. Two got clear and one man got caught. I didn't know who it was until I got in the ditch to help remove him." When asked if he could explain the reason of the slide, Arnsberger said he couldn't, but in his opinion it must have been caused by "a default in the earth.

Myers testified that he was a- head of Brager at the time of the accident. "We had just laid three sections of pipe and were about ready to go out. We were all in a group.
