Niagara Gazette - 12/12/1955

were injured as the result of
another tragic weekend on
Niagara County, highways.
The dead arc:

Paul Zulis, 1422 Robinson Court,
this city, struck by a. driver who
did not stop last night in Portage
Rd. in front of
the International

field.
The two Whcatfield girls were
killed by an automobile while they
were walking in the Nash Road
Saturday night.
The three fatalities hiked the toll
on county highways in 1955 to 36.
The city now has 10 traffic deaths
for the year. Both figures are new
records.
Mrs. Zulis was crossing Portage
Rd. between Welch Ave. and Ni-
agara St. when she was struck and
dragged about 15 feet by a car that
an unidentified witness called an
old model.
Returning From Theater
Patrolman C. W. Bearfield and
Traffic Officers Robert H. Wolfe
and Bruno Giunta were told by the
witness that the left headlight of
the hit-and-run vehicle went out
after the impact. The car then
turned right in Niagara St. and
fled.
Mrs. Zulis was promounced dead
on her arrival at Memorial Hos-
pital. Her husband, who came to
the hospital to identify the body,
said Mrs. Zulis was returning home
from the Hippofrome Theater
when the accident happened about
10 p.m.
Mrs. Zulis suffered a broken left
arm, left leg, head injuries and
possible internal injuries.
Police apparently had no leads
on the identity of the death car
driver as they pursued their inves-
tigation today. No one was able
to get the license of the vehicle
nor was there any debris or glass
left at the point of impact, accord0
ing to investigating officers.
Second Hit-Run Death
It was the second hit and run
death in the city in less than two months. William T. Royer, 88, of
1864 Niagara Ave., died Oct. 27
as the result of injuries he suffered
when struck in Ontario Ave. Oct. 2.
Police have never found the driver
who hit him.
The teenage girls, close friends
for seven years, were pronounced
dead on arrival at DeGraff Memor-
ial Hospital, North Tonawanda
after they were struck by an auto
operated by Herbert James Mosher,
21, of 308 Falconer St., North
Tonawanda, in the Nash Rd., about
a half mile from Niagara Falls
Blvd.
The girls, sophomores at North
Tonawanda High School, were
killed shortly after they left the
Wiegand home about 10 p.m. Bar-
bara Ann was to walk part way
home with Linda. It was custom-
ary for the girls to walk with one
another half way between their
homes when they visited together
at night.
Mrs. Wesche had phoned her
daughter and asked her to start for
home because the streets were
slippery.
Skids Into Ditch
Mosher struck the girls shortly
after they left the Wieganf drive-
way. He said they were walking
south in the Nash Rd., the same
direction in which he was driving.
Niagara County Criminal Dep-
uty Rudolph Ziehm said Mosher
said he was going about 35 miles
an hour and did not see the girls
until he was about 20 feet away
from them.
Mosher reported he applied his
brakes and after hitting the girls
skidded across the road into a
ditch. The girls were thrown about
100 feet by the force of the impact.
The car skidded against a culvert
and ended up in a ditch 2230 feet
farther down the road.
Mosher was arrested by sheriff's
deputies and held for the grand
jury on a charge of criminal negli-
gence in the operation of an auto.
2 Are Passengers
He waived examination on the
criminal negligence charge and
was remanded to jail by Peace
Justice John E. Culver, Town of
Wheatfield.
Passengers in the Mosher car
were Albert Cholewa of Nash Rd.,
and John McGrath of 308 Falconer
St. owner of the car is Arthur L.
Miller, of 258 Edward St., North
Tonawanda, Mosher's step-father.
Linda suffered a fractured skull,
compound fractures of both legs
and internal injuries. Barbara ann
received a multiple fractured spine,
complete severance of the trachea
and fractures of both legs.
Mrs. Zulis was born in Lithuania
but lived in this city since 1919,
coming here from Shenandoah, Pa.
She was a member of the Scapular
Society of St. George's church and
of the Lithuania roman Catho-
lic Alliance of America.
