CALDWELL BOY INSTANTLY KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE ON STREET
Witnesses Exonerate Driver
CALDWELL, O. Oct 30. -- Paul Johanning, aged 13, adopted son of
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Johanning of East street, was run down and instantly
killed by an automobile driven by Charles Carter, on Main street, near the
office of Dr. Radcliff, Saturday night.
Carter was exonerated by witness of the accident. It was said the Johan-
ning boy was playing with companions and walked backwards from the
sidewalk directly in front of the car driven by Carter. Arthur Engle was riding
with Carter at the time.
Deputy Sheriff Rile Groves, who lives near the scene of the accident, was
an eye-witness. Carter stopped the car within a short distance and picked up
the boy. Death ensued as the two men were carrying the boy to the office of
Dr. Radcliff. The lad was crushed about the head and chest, it was reported.
The body was removed to the home. The foster-parents survive. Funeral
services will be held at 10 o'clock Monday morning at St. Philomena Catholic
church with Rev. C.C. Crock officiating. Interment will be in the Olive cemetery
by Brubach.
