VICTIM OF AUTO TOOK ALL THE BLAME
Unless more convincing evidence of reckless driving is found against Edward Cushman, son of U. S. Judge Cushman, who ran down Elmer Nelson last week on No. 26 St., the inquest ordered by Prosecutor Remann will be dropped.
Coronor Stewart, who has been investigating with Deputy Prosecutor Cramer, said today that young Cushman was undoubtedly driving too near the car tracks and probably was going a little too fast.
He said, however, that Dr. Charles James, who attended the Nelson boy, declared the dead youth had admitted repeatedly before his death that the accident was his fault. He said he ran around the street car because of the rain, without looking for an approaching street car.
The boy is said to have removed all blame from Cushman the night of the accident when he was being taken to the hospital in a drying condition.
H. H. Taylor, 3616 No. 26th St., who got off a Point Defiance car behind Nelson, said he would have been hit if he had been a moment quicker. He also said he thought the car was running too near the tracks.
He was the son of Charles W. Nelson, b. Wisconsin and Jennie (Rudberg) Nelson b. Sweden
