ANNA ZAWADZKI
(1903 - 1927)
GIRL JUMPS FROM AUTO-MAY DIE
BADLY HURT AS HEAD HITS ON PAVEMENT
Thought Driver Was Not Going To Stop and Jumped From Machine
Anna Zawadzki, 23, who resides with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Zawadzki, at 1221 South Sixteenth street, is in the hospital today battling against odds for life as result of injuries which she suffered late last night when she leaped from a moving automobile when the driver of the car failed to stop the machine at her home to permit her to leave it. Miss Zawadzski suffered a fractured skull and her condition was reported critical.
Report of the matter has been made to District Attorney Ed Meyer and two boys who were in the car with the girl, will probably be summoned and in event of death of the girl, face prosecution. According to reports the car was driven by Verne Hall and his male companion was Hugo Vetter, said to be a resident outside the city, near Valders. Vetter is said to have made a statement at the time the girl was taken to the hospital that the car was driven by Hall.
Attended Country Dance
The accident came at conclusion of an evening at a country dance. Miss Zawadzki and a friend, Stella Kaminski, Marshall street, had accompanied Hall and Vetter and upon return of the party to the city the Kaminski girl was taken to her home. When the Zawadzki residence was reached by the two boys and girl, however, the driver of the car is said to have passed the house and Miss Zawadzki probably believing that the act was intentional, leaped from the rapidly moving car and was seriously if not fatally hurt. She was hurried to the hospital where everything possible is being done for her, but with chances against recovery.

Coat Caught In Door.
Testimony of both Vetter and Hall and Stella Kaminski, who had been with the party but was not in the car at the time of the fatal leap by Miss Zawadszki established that non of the party had been drinking at the dance which they attended at Silver Lake. Vetter and Hall testified that the car was traveling slowly, not over ten to fifteen miles, at the time the Zawadzki girl jumped from the machine and it was indicated that the girl's coat caught on the door and caused the fall to the street. Both men declared that no offense had been offered the dead girl and that her action came as the car was in front of the home and unexpectedly to either. Some remark about going to the beach, which had been made on the way from the lake and rejected by Miss Kaminski before she was taken home, was referred to, but it was testified that the Zawadzki girl had referred to it herself.

According to testimony of Vetter and Hall and Miss Kaminski the members of the party had met for the first time the evening of the accident when the two boys suggested an auto ride and after having been refused by the girls, met them later and they entered the car and suggested going to the lake. After returning, the Kaminski girl was taken to her home and Miss Zawadzki, when the car arrived in front of her home said, "I am going to jump." and opened the door. Hall said that he had no slowed up but was traveling slowly.
