The chauffeur became insane as a consequence of the shock. He was hadly injured. The accident occurred at o'clock in the afternoon, and almost in front of the Chateau Buisson du Mai. The wife of the gatekeeper of the chateau was the only witness of the disaster. She says she noticed a bis ved automobile coming along the road at a tremendous pace. Suddenly something happened, and the heavy machine slid sideways front the right to the left side of the road for about sixty yards. It then dashed up ail embankment, turned a complete somersault and crashed into a big elm tree in front of the gate of the chateau. The automobile was completely wrecked; the front axle was broken and other parts of the machine were smashed. Including the steering gear. When the automobile turned over, the wife of the gatekeeper says, she saw Mr. and Mrs. Fair thrown high in the air and fall. The chauffeur, who was sitting behind the Fairs, was precipitated into a ditch. lie staggered to his feet, calling for help. The gatekeepers wife rushed to his assistance and aided him in extricating Mr. and Mrs. Fair, who were buried beneath the wrecked machine and in tlic throes of death. Both had sustained ghastly Injuries and were almost unrecognizable. Mr. Fair's head had been crushed in. while his wife's skull was split. The accident was evidently due to the bursting of a tire. At the time it occurred the automobile, which was capable of running seventy-four milys an hour, was going at the rate of sixty two miles an hour.
