Mr. Stevenson's letter follows: ' have heard thaC school children wevie the cause of the dreadful acci* 1 .dent that occurred in front of our 1 school on last Thursday in which 1 threes people were killed, I want to deny this. The colored school child!ren were on. their way home, but were at least a half mile from the 1 accident when it happened. The Midway school was still in sessi6h and 1 don't think a child was out of the building at that time and besides wo never allow our children on the highway except in going to and from home. 'Trohgbly this report was started by people who saw school children at the wreck, but they were out there only as an act of mercy and to get the unfortunate people out of the wreck. The teachers vyould not let the little folks even go to see the wreck, though it was on the edge of our play grounds. "That was the third wreck my boys had helped the people out of last week, and all of the cars bore New York licenses.'
