KinwAM Brrore THE HiGHway 
CoMMISSION 
George E. Killiam of Manchester 
was before the state highway com- 
mission Wednesday on a petition that 
his license to operate motor vehicles 
be returned to him. His license was 
suspended Aug. 10 because of an 
accident in which he was involved 
which later resulted in the death of 
John Pitman on Pine street, Man- 
chester. 
Killam left his house in Manches- 
ter and started for Lakecroft Inn in 
Hamilton and got there safely but 
found that the hotel was closed for 
the night. He then immediately 
turned around and started for home. 
He met with a group of men, all 
under the influence of liquor, who 
demanded that he give them a ride to 
Manchester. The strangers would 
not get off the car and all sprawled 
out on the back of the car with their 
feet hanging over the fenders of the 
machine. 
As he passed a hydrant, which is 
very near the road, Mr. Pitman’s 
legs had ‘hit the hydrant and had 
thrown him off the car, the accident 
later causing his death. Mr. Pitman 
was one of the men who had taken

an uninvited ride and Mr. Killam 
could’ not see why it was his fault 
that caused the accident. After the 
accident he had done all he could for 
the man and taken him to the doc- 
tor’s house before he left him, and he 
felt that he had done all in his 
power in such a case. 
He said that he had not had a drink 
that evening, although he had gone to 
Lakecroft Inn for that purpose. Jo- 
seph Lovely of Beverly, who was with 
Mr. Killam in his car at the time of 
the accident, affirmed every statement 
made by the operator of the car and 
described the bad conditions of Pine 
street at the point the accident oc- 
curred. He also thought that Mr. Kil- 
lam was far from any fault in the 
way he operated his car. 
D.E.O’Brien of Manchester thought 
that any man was fully justified in 
keeping to the extreme right of the 
road at this point because of the late 
traffic that passes there. 
O’Brien said that he did not believe 
that the automobile was traveling 
very fast for it was an old car and 
had been pretty well used up. He 
argued that none of these people were 
friends of Mr. Killam and that he 
had not asked them to accompany 
him on his ride to Manchester.
