WOMAN IDENTIFIED
Killed By Train At Levin The woman who was killed when she was struck by the 5.47 p.m. WellingtonPalmerston jXTorth train near Levin on Tuesday night has been identified by the police as Mrs. Edith Alice Keats, aged 73, Oxford Street, Levin. Mrs. Keats had been in the habit of visiting her daughter some distance away and it is thought that she was making one of these visits when she was hit by the train. She was almost stone deaf and it is probable that she confused the locomotive headlight with car lights on the main road, which at this point runs parallel with the railway. An inquest was opened in Levin yesterday and adjourned.
