HENRY HANSTEDT
HANSTED DEATH DUE TO ACCIDENT NO BLAME FOUND
The coroner's jury called to investigate the death of Henry Hansted(sic) who was killed at Two Rivers a week ago Saturday night, found that the man came to his death by an accident in which no one was to blame.
District Attorney C.E. Brady called ten witnesses at the inquest today and although an eye witness of the tragedy was among the number he said that he could not say whether the aged man had been struck by the automobile when it swerved. The testimony of the doctors and of the undertaker was that no bruises or contusions had been found on the body of the dead man, the only marks being a few scratches on the face which might have come when he fell on the frozen ground.
Hansted and his wife were on their way home from a visit to a neighbor at the time of the accident. They were walking in the road and probably became confused at the approach of an automobile driven by Victor Tomek. Tomek tried to stop his car but it skidded and when the machine was stopped. Mr. Hansted was found on the ground in an unconscious condition. He was removed to his home where he died two hours later, death being due to shock, it is said. Mrs. Hansted was bruised by being struck by the rear end of the car but her injuries are not believed to be of a serious nature despite her advanced years. The inquest gives Tomek, who is said to be a very careful driver, a clear record.
