A larger boy, whose identity was not learned, ran across the street in front of the sedan containing Mr. and Mrs. Ogelsby and Ivan started across the street behind him. He paused momentarily and then went on across. The car struck him, knocking him down and then passed over him. L. R. Crandall, motion picture operator at the Tivoli Theater and his wife were walking down the street by the school and saw the car run over Ivan. Crandall ran down and picked the boy up. Mr. Ogelsby stopped immediately and he and Mrs. Crandall took the boy to his home. Ivan did not cry out when he was hit, and except for drawing up of his legs and arms, did not make a move after being run over, witnesses said.

The second witness called was Walter Ogelsby, driver of the car. He said that he and his wife were returning from a trip to Osborn, Mo., where they had bee to see their daughter. He said that he saw both boys, and tried to miss Ivan, but that it was impossible. He stated that he was driving not faster than ten miles an hour. The next witness, Mrs. Ogelsby, corroborated her husband's story and added that she called to the little Benge boy "not to do that," but that she doubled if he heard her. Mr. Crandall then testified to the fact that Mr. Ogelsby was driving slowly and that when he saw Ivan had been run over he ran down and picked him up. He said that there were no outward marks on the boy to show that he was hurt. He said that he was slightly back of the car, and did not see it strike the boy. Mrs. Crandall verified her husband's testimony. Died Almost Instantly George and Robert Benge were then called but could add nothing to what had already been said. Ollie Majors, an employee of the city, testified that he was about a half block from the scene of the accident, but saw Mr. Crandall pick Ivan up and put him into the Ogelsby car. By the time he had run down to the corner, the car was on its way to the Benge home. Mrs. Nellie Benge, grandmother of Ivan, said the boy died almost as soon as he was brought into the house.
