CHARLES WERTH KILLED

Special to the Buffalo Express
North Tonawanda, May 14 - Charles Werth, 60 years old, of No. 274 Sweeney street, was run down by a trolley car on the Buffalo & Lockport trolley line at the Fillmore avenue crossing in Tonawanda about 1 o'clock this afternoon. His skull was fractured and he died an hour later. Mr. Werth who was a cement sidewalk contractor, was on his way to Simson street, where he was doing some contract work. He had lately had trouble with his eyes and it is thought that he did not see the car in time to save himself. Charles E........ of Lockport, the motorman, tried to stop his car, but could not do so in time. Mr. Werth was picked up unconscious and removed to his home in North Tonawanda, where he died. Deceased had been almost a lifelong resident of this city. Besides a widow, one daughter, Mrs. Fred Paschen of Oliver street, and one son, Benjamin Werth of this city, survive. Funeral will be held from the family home on Sweeney street on Wednesday afternoon. Coroner Helwig investigated the case and will hold
an inquest at Wattengel's undertaking rooms next Tuesday afternoon.
