Alexander F Morrissey of the Charities department told a coroner he did not help Francis Broadbin, three, after a street accident because he could not risk a payroll of 1200 dollars he was taking to Hillside Home in his car. He returned shortly after and found the boy being carried away by a motorcycle. The milkman driver, Frank A Larkin, said he ran over the child as he crossed the street. The boy lived with his parents at 237 Dover Street.
