Man Fatally Injured by Car On South Side
Harry E. Moser dies Before Ambulance Arrives; His Companion
Painfully Hurt
Harry E. Moser, 55, of 475, Williams Street, was fatally injured
shortly after midnight this morning, and his companion, William
Hughes, 23, of 473 Williams Street, was painfully injured,
when they were struck by an automobile operated by Curtis N.
Merring, 458 Berwick Street, near the corner of Coal and Rock
streets, South Side.
Moser died before the Easton Hospital ambulance reached him,
and Hughes is receiving treatment for his injuries at Easton
Hospital where his condition is reported as being fair.
According to Merring, he was driving south on Coal street,
when he thought he saw two men step from the curb directly
in the path of his automobile. Vision was poor on account of
the heavy rain. He felt a bump and stopped almost immediately.
Getting out of his automobile he saw a man lying in the front
of the automobile, and he heard him groaning and asking to
be taken to a physician.
Saw No Other Man
Merring looked around hurriedly and saw no other man. He asked
the man lying in front of the automobile if he did not have
a companion but the victim would not answer.
Merring then placed Hughes in his automobile and took him
to the office of Dr. L.F. Burkley, who treated his injuries
and suggested his removal to Easton Hospital. Hughes wanted
to go his home first and was take there by Merring, and while
they were there they learned that the second man had been found
by other motorists.
The ambulance had been summoned by Sergeant Boylan and Officer
Deemer, who had been sent to investigate and when the ambulance
arrived Dr. Gonzaga, interne, pronounced Moser dead. Deputy
Coroner Dr. Theodore Reichbam was notified and started an Investigation.
Released Pending Inquiry
Merring, in the meantime, took Hughes to the hospital, and
then reported to police. He was released in the custody of
Dr. Reichbaum, pending further investigation.
Mr. Moser was a native of Williams Township and a son of the
late Josiah and Mary Moser. He had made his home with his brother
Frank Moser at the Williams street address for the past eight
years. For the lst three years he was employed at the plant
of C. K. Williams & Co.
He was unmarried and is survived by the following brothers
and sisters: William and Frank Moser, at home, and Mrs. Gordon
Bennett, Mrs. Charles Limeberry and Mrs. Walter Cramer, all
of the South Side. He attended the Methodist Episcopal Church. |
