CHILD KILLED
STRUCK BY MOTOR-CAE RETURNING FROM SCHOOL FATALITY AT MANGATEPARU [by telegraph—own correspondent] HAMILTON, Wednesday While crossing Tahuna Road opposite her home at Mangateparu, six miles from Morrinsville, on returning from school shortly after three o'clock this afternoon, Phyllis Audrey Marwood, aged five and a-half years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William G. Marwood, was knocked down by a motor-car and fatally injured. The Mangateparu School is situated about half a mile from the child's home, and she accepted a ride over this distance in the motor-car of the headmistress, Miss Power. As she left the car to cross the road to her she was struck by another motor-car, driven by Mr. Albert Thomas Jones, sharemilker, of Tauhei. Both the child's legs were broken and she suffered other severe bodily injuries. After being attended by a doctor she was taken to the Waikato Hospital in a taxi, but died on the way. An inquest was opened later before Mr. F. W. Platts, coroner, and after evidence of identification had been taken the proceedings were adjourned sine die.
