Don Mills fatality inquiry is enlarged.

Coroner makes another adjournment until driver recovers.

Inquiry into the deaths of Mrs. Sarah Wilson and Mrs. Ethel Jackson, who were killed when a motor car in which they were riding crashed backward through the railings of the bridge over the Canadian National Railway tracks on the Don Mills road on June 7, was continued last night. Owing to the absence of Frank Kelly, driver of the car, who is still confined to the hospital suffering from his injuries, it was necessary to make a further adjournment until July 9. County Coroner W. L. Bond, who is conducting the inquest, announced that Kelly's father expected that the young man will be sufficiently recovered to appear within two weeks. Last night's session at the Morgue was the third sitting, previous sittings having been held on June 8 and June 15.

Dr. Victor W. McCormack of 2568 Yonge street, who performed the autopsy on Mrs. Wilson, told of the injuries she had sustained. He concluded that death was due to shock and hemorrhage resulting from the fracture of eight ribs on one side of the body and seven ribs on the other side and fractures on both sides of the jaw.

At the conclusion of the sitting one of the jurymen asked that they be allowed to hear evidence as to the condition of the bridge from the engineer whose business it was to inspect it. The Coroner said that he would endeavor to comply with the request.
