KNOCKED DOWN BY TRAIN
INQUEST ON VICTIM. , [Per Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. Fatal injuries were inflicted upon Wilder Barry Fox, on Saturday, by a Riccart on-bound tramcar, when Fox was attempting to catch a city-bound car. At the inquest conducted by Mr. H. P. Lawry to-day, the evidence was that Fox ran out of the cricket ground gates with his hand held up to s(/»p a city-bound car. The motorman of tho outward car. which was approaching, sounded his bell loudly and continuously, but Fox was apparently oblivious that a second car was approaching from the other direction. The motorman applied the brakes, but too late to avert an accident. If Fox had taken another step forward, he would have been clear of both trams. The Coroner found no blame attachable to the motorman.
