EDWARD KINDLEBERGER killed in Motorcycle Accident.
Edward Kindleberger, 48, of 164 Seventeenth St, was instantly killed last night, shortly before 11 o'clock, when a side car driven by T. S. Bolen, also of 164 Seventeenth St, crashed into an automobile driven by Clarence J. Feeny, Secretary-treasurer of the G. S. Feeny candy company, near the center of the Suspension Bridge.
Feeny`s car was standing perfectly still and was hugging the right extremity of the driveway when the crash came.
Mr. Feeny was driving towards the Island, and Bolen and Kindleberger headed cityward, enroute from Bridgeport.
"I saw the single headlight of what I supposed to be a motorcycle approaching," said Mr. Feeny last night explaining the accident. "From the position of the light I feared the Cycle if it maintained the same course, could not clear my car. When the light drew nearer and nearer with no apparent change of direction, I brought my Car to a stop, still expecting the motorcycle to turn out. I had my headlights dimmed. Even when the cycle's headlights was but a few yards in the front of my machine, I could see the sidecar.
The next instant the sidecar crashed into the Automobile. I immediately started on foot toward the bridge tollhouse on foot for assistance, as I could not see no one around at the time of the accident and was along in the car, but two men came running up to then.
The man in the sidecar moved a little when we came over to him, but was dead when the officers arrived a few minutes."
Although the sidecar was badly wrecked, Kindleberger was not even thrown from the seat, and Bolen, driving the cycle was entirely unmarried. Both men were hurried to the City in the ambulance, where a brief examination verified that Kindelberger was dead. No examination to determine the wounds which caused the death was made last night, as an autopsy will performed today. Kindleberger's face and head were not cut. It is believed his neck was broken.
Kindelberger was unmarried. He was well know throughout the City, having been engaged as a night cab driver for many years and later was employed at the Burns and Church stable.
Note: Edward Kindleberger was the Son of Fredrick and Mary Shorts Kindleberger.
