IS INSTANTLY KILLED BY A CAR CoschlVian Tried to Cross Street in Front of Rapidly Moving Car Which Struck Carriage, Knocking Him Out Against Post, Tearing Hia Head Off. Chicago, Dec. 6.—A. Tribune special from Mexico City gives further details of the accident in which James Rus sell Parsons, United States consul gen eral, lost his life there. He was in an open carriage in which he was driv. ing with Mrs. Pasons and their son, which was struck-by an electric car. Mrs. Parsons wa« slightly injured. The boy escaped without a scratch. The accident happened while Mr. Par sons and his family were going to the Central station to bid farewell to some friends. The coachman tried to cross a street car track in front of a rapidly moving car, which struck the carriage with terrifle force, crushing it against a trolley post. . Mr. Parson’s head struck the post, the whole top of th< head being taken off. When assistance arrived the body was lying with the head and shoulders on the pavement and the feet in in wreck of the carriage. Mrs. Parsons was staggering blindly around, stunned by the shock, and mut. tering incoherent sentences, inquiring where she was and where she was a Ing. “Mamma, I think papa la killed,” said James Ruasel Parsons, Jr., but Mrs. Parsons was too dated to realize the truth. Mrs. Parsons was Immediately tak en by friends to her residence, where medical assistance was given.

Not a bone is broken and except for blood stains, the face appears perfectly natural. Until.the police Investigation Is con cluded there Is no means of fixing the responsibility, as no actual eye-witness waa close enough. The motorman and driver of the coach both disappeared Immediately after the accident and have not yet been arrested. News of the affair spread rapidly among members of . American colony.
