Murray. According to reports of the accident, the little fellow attempted to cross the street in front of Murray's car, which was running at a moderate rate of speed. Murray picked the boy up and carried him to St. Vincent's hospital, where his injuries were pronounced as slight. He was then carried home. Yesterday afternoon he suffered a collapse, from which he never recovered, dying in a short time. Murray went to police headquarters and surrendered to Officer Poyner. A technical charge of involuntary manslaughter was lodged against him, but he was later released on bail. The accident to the boy was similar to the one which resulted in the death of Vinson Walsh McLean, "the millionaire baby," in Washington early this week. ************** Robert O.
