Charges preferred against patrolman
Charges of holding an unnecessary conversation while on duty were preferred by Corporal Traub against Supernumerary Patrolman Anahtay Bonura Monday, on complaint of Inspector Palmer, who alleges Bonura was in a shoe store talking with some girls. Bonura explains the matter by saying that he was telling friends of his father’s illness.
Boy runs into automobile
A thorough investigation into the jitneymobile accident last Saturday night, when James H. Vinson, 11 years old, sustained a broken leg, has been made by Sergeant Anderson, who learned that young Vinson, on an errand, was on roller skates hanging on to a streetcar going up Bayou street. After passing Royal street, the boy let go his hold and proceeded across the street, and in doing so he came into contact with the fender of the jitneymobile, which was moving slowly in the opposite direction.
There were six passengers in the jitney, one of whom got out of the machine and helped Vinson in, and he was immediately taken to the Our Lady of Mercy infirmary. The jitney belonged to the West Side Transit Company and was in charge of William Henley, 17 years old, as chauffeur.
