COHEN LOEB, Sworn In For The State, 58th To Testify

Reading Time: 2 minutes [302 words]

COHEN LOEB, sworn for the Defendant.

I was on the car with Mr. Frank going back to town on April 26th

after lunch. I caught the car at Georgia Avenue and Washington Street.

He caught the car at Glenn and Washington Street which is one block

nearer town. That was about 2 o'clock. It was a Washington Street car

which goes straight up Washington Street to the Capitol and turns down

Hunter. We sat together on the same seat in the car. Mr. Frank got off

the car about two or three minutes before I did. He got off in front of

the Capitol at about 2:10. The car was blockaded by the crowd which

was watching the parade. Mr. Frank went down Hunter Street. There

was nothing unusual about him. No marks, or scratches or spots on him.

He had on a brown suit and a derby.

CROSS EXAMINATION.

Mr. Frank was sitting next to the window. I know Mr. Hinchey. I

did not recognize him as he passed our car in the machine but I recognized his machine. It was going down the street. I recognized it by the dark color. It passed right in front of the car so close as to hit the car

and that's what called it to my attention. The top of the machine was

up and the sides were open. The car was a dark maroon color and seats

from four to seven passengers. I don't know the number of it. I just

saw a dark maroon car. I found out afterwards that it was Mr. Hinchey.

I only noticed that particular automobile because it ran up in front of

the car and the car hit it and nearly turned it over. The accident occurred

right at us. There was no jolt to the street car. It was going too

slow. They just came together and scraped.
