Hagadorn told Sergt. John W. Brockman, Herkimer substation, State Police, that he shouted a warning to Pelton, who was walking on the right-hand side, when he discovered the car bearing down on them.
Pelton started across the road to rejoin his companions, Hagadorn said, then turned back and was struck by the right fender of the machine.
Connot told the officer he had swerved as far to the right as possible to keep from hitting the man when he saw him dart toward the left. When the victim turned back he was unable to avoid the accident, Connot added. He was not held.

Lyman A Woodard of Mohawk was arrested by Chief of Police Walter I. Bronner and lodged in the county jail He is charged with disposing of mortgaged property and the case is an unusual one. Mr. Woodard had until recently conducted a milk route and he claims in this instance that a former employee had purchased a team and started buying milk and peddling ahead of him. Woodard was taken quitely into custady and gave bail in the sum of $600 which was furnished by Fred Hinman and a date made for a meeting, when It was expected his troubles would be adjusted. Woodman failed to appear and Mr. Hinman caused his arrest and surrendered him to the jail. This apparently indicates Woodman does not realize the serious ness of his position. Woodard, long in the employ of A. A. Wollaber, on a milk route, purchased the route and what was formerly the Schroepple farm south of Mohawk and engaged in business for himself. Mr. Woodard married, but there was a separation after a short time. He then acquired three other farms and increased his stock and it is belived became to heavily involved. The original complainant against him was John G. Ludwig. whose farm and stock were among Woodard's purchasers after Ludwig s farm barn burned.
