DRIVER SENT FOR TRIAL
CHARGE OF NEGLIGENCE DEATH OF GIRL PASSENGER Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. Albert Leonard Smith was yesterday committed for trial on a charge of negligently driving a motor-car and thereby causing the death of Dorothy Mary Middleton. According to the evidence Smith was driving with Miss Middleton and others along Tasman Street at night, and to avoid another car swerved his machine and ran over a path through a fence and crashed into a house. Miss Middleton received a cut on her thigh and tetanus set in. Smith’s own statement admitted he was going 35 miles an hour. The defence was that the girl was suffering from another disease and the connection with tetanus was too remote to implicate Smith.
