Coroner's Jury Clears Woman In boy's Death
Mrs. Hattie Vogel, 25, of the town of Centerville, was cleared by a coroner's jury today of any criminal negligence in the death of Delton Jaeger, 8, of the town of
Centerville.
The jury, after deliberating over one and one-half hours, brought back a verdict that the boy died of an intercranial injury resulting from being struck Jan. 5 by the car driven by Mrs. Vogel on Highway 141, a half mile north of the intersection with Highway 149. The verdict went on to absolve Mrs. Vogel of any gross negligence or of such a high degree of negligence as to constitute negligent homicide.
The inquest got underway in the municipal court rooms shortly after 9 a.m. and was completed shortly after 10 o'clock after four witnesses had testified. The jury,
composed of Karl Omsted, Charles Horstman, Dr. George Huwatschek, William Arends, Sam Hall and Herman Lutze, chose Dr. Huwatschek as foreman.
The Jaeger boy died at 9 a.m. Jan. 8 at Memorial Hospital, Sheboygan, where he had been a patient since being hit about 8:45 a.m. Jan. 5. Funeral services were held at Cleveland Tuesday afternoon.
Doctor Testifies
Dr. George Juckem of Sheboygan, who attended the boy, was the first witness called by Coroner Theodore Teitgen, who presided. He told of the intercranial injury which
he described as damage to the brain tissue and blood vessels, and said that this was different than a skull fracture in that there was no bone broken. He said the
boy sustained a contusion over the left eye and forehead and a contusion on the left hip.
Under questioning by District Attorney John Danielson, Mrs. Vogel told of the road being very icy the morning of the accident and said she was going about 20 miles an hour. It was snowing at the time, she said, when she was driving south on Highway 141. She said she noticed the children along the other side of the highway also going south
and as a matter of precaution took her foot off the accelerator. This sent the car into a skid, with the rear end going to the west and then the whole car went across
the highway.
4 Children in Group
Mrs. Vogel said there were four children in the group and that three moved back but Delton Jaeger did not. The bumper of the car hit him she stated, and then the car turned completely around and went against a pole. A passenger in the car at the time, Mrs. Arthur Sexel, also of the town of Centerville, took the stand next and gave substantially the same testimony as Mrs. Vogel.
Last witness called was (private), 11, brother of the dead boy, who was one of the four children in the group. He told of seeing the car coming and said it was on its own side of the road and was not coming fast. The boy said not all of the children moved further back on the shoulder of the road when they saw the car skid.
