AUTHORITIES MAKE INQUIRY
MRS. WILLIAM KRECZMER TELLS POLICE WHE WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 10 ILES AN HOUR

Hurled from his bicycle when run down by a woman motorist early Wednesday evening Stanley Lyczynski, aged 53, married, of 1631 West Dunham Street, received injuries which terminated fatally two hours later at St. Joseph Hospital. His death is the 23rd this year attributable to traffic accidents on South Bend streets. Mrs. William Kreczmer, age 44, of 1042 West Fisher Street, driver of the death car, may be charged with involuntary manslaughter, Dr. Alfred Ellison, deputy coroner, said this morning. He was to confer later in the day with Prosecutor Samuel P. Schwartz in regard to the case. The accident happened at Sample and McPherson Streets about 6 o'clock. The victim was pedaling west on Sample Street when Mrs. Kreczmer, who was traveling east, struck the bicycle as she was attempting to negotiate a left hand turn onto McPherson Street. Motorist driving slowly. According to the report made to police by Mrs. Kreczmer after the accident, she was traveling at a speed of but 10 miles an hour when her car struck the lighter vehicle. The condition of the pavement was dry, the weather was clear and it was daylight, according to her own report. Mr. Lyczynski was rendered unconscious by the accident. He was taken in the city ambulance to St. Joseph hospital where it was first thought he was not seriously hurt. Before he died he regained consciousness and conversed with hospital attendants and relatives. The man himself did not think he was on the verge of death for he asked his kin to bring him certain comforts.

Hemorrhage Causes Death
**************************
After the victim's death an autopsy was performed by Dr. Ellison and assistants. It was found that five right and two left ribs were fractured. He also suffered lacerations of the face and chest. The fractured ribs broke through and lacerated the liver, causing an abdominal hemorrhage which resulted in death. Asked if the victim could have received the fractures of the ribs by striking the pavement after being thrown from his bicycle, Dr. Ellison said that the assumption is that the victim was run over by the automobile. "There can't be any question of it," the deputy declared. "I shall take action at once. In my opinion this woman should be held." Mr. Lyczynski was born in Poland on Oct. 1874 and came her 22 years ago from Poland. He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Anastasia Lyczynski, in Poland; h is wife, Julia; the following children: Mrs. Stella Bartkowiak, Mrs. Lottie Golupski, Sylvester, Mary, Bernice, Genevieve and Evelyn, all of this city; and the following brothers and sister: Mrs. Josephine Wyrenblewski, Joseph, Andrew and Frank Lyczynski, all of South Bend, and Jack Lyczynski, of France.
