FATHER SEES CHILD KILLED
Elsie Allgood Meets Instant Death in Crossing Busy Sandy Street.
Driver of Slow-Moving Auto Not Blamed by Investigating Deputies.
Seeing his 4-year-old daughter, Elsie Allgood, instantly killed, while he was frantically waving for her to stop from approaching the path of an automobile was the unhappy experience of Stanlery Allgood, Sandy R.D. No. 2, Friday. The accident occurred in front of the Sandy Drug company at 3:30 o'clock.
The child was killed instantly, it was reported, probably suffering a crushed chest and fractured skull.
Thomas Parkinson, 22, of Crescent, driver of the automobile which struck the little girl, was absolved of any blame by witnesses, according to Deputy Sheriffs C. T. Taylor, J. S. Larsen and Fred Lee, who arrived at the scene sixteen minutes after receiving the call. It is unlikely, they say, that an inquest will be asked.
The girl had gone across the street to the drug store for some candy. As she emerged from the store Parkinson, who knows the Allgood family, was driving by, and the girl started to cross the street northward, passing in front of a parked automobile.
The father, according to the officers, sized up the situation at once and started waving to his little girl to stop. Parkinson, believing that Allgood was signalling to him, turned his eyes in that direction, and in a twinkling the girl was knocked down and deputies believe the wheels passed over her.
According to the deputies the Parkinson car was traveling at only an approximate speed of ten miles an hour.
