FOUR ARE KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENTS
A series of automobile accidents among pleasure seekers resulted
yesterday in the death of four persons and injuries to more than a
score of others.
Returning from a day at Coney Island with a friend, about 9 o'clock
last night; Elizabeth GOLFOND, 22 years old, a bookkeeper, of 1513
Charlotte street, the Bronx, was killed when the auto in which she
was riding was struck by a two-car train of the West End line at
Railroad avenue and West Twentieth street.
Motorman Alexander HANSON, in charge of the train, was arrested on a
charge of homicide. LIEBMAN was given a summons to appear in the
Coney Island court on a charge of driving without a chauffeur's license.
Abraham KASAN, 3 1/2, of 619 Kosciusko street, was struck on the
crowded Ocean Parkway yesterday afternoon by an automobile owned and
operated by Henry WICHEL, of 2634 East Thirteenth street. The child
died in the Coney Island Hospital a short time afterward.
The boy went automobiling with his father, Louis, and his mother. At
Ocean Parkway and Avenue L the senior KAZAN stopped his automobile
Parking it at the side of the road. As the occupants left the
automobile the boy was hit.

McGRATH, of 895 Willoughby avenue. They were responding to a small
fire at North Eleventh street and Driggs avenue. TOBIN died before
the arrival of an ambulance surgeon.
DOCTOR SAYS HEMMING GIRL WAS SUICIDE
That Dorothy M. HEMMING, the school teacher whose body was found
Saturday in Lower Mill Pond at Glen Cove, committed suicide by
drowning was the positive statement made to-day by Dr. C.B. CONNELLY,
city medical examiner of Glen Cove, following his autopsy yesterday.
"There is absolutely no evidence of violence," he said, "Not even a
button on Miss HEMMING's dress was displaced. From my conversation
with her uncle I am convinced she was suffering from religious dementia."
Despite Dr. CONNELLY's statement, Chief of Police John J. DONOHUE is
by no means convinced that Miss HEMMING's death was due to her own
act. He said to-day that he would continue the investigation to
determine if there was any semblance of foul play.
John DUNLAP, the chauffeur arrested in Manhattan Saturday night in
connection with the case, has been transferred to Glen Cove, where he
is being detained as a material witness. The authorities say he was
seen with the school teacher the night she disappeared.
DROWNED MAN HAD BEEN CALLED IN DRAFT
The body of the man found floating in the lower bay near the Statue

ROSZEL, 21 years old, of Heightstown, N.J. ROSZEL disappeared May 23
