Child Killed By Auto
Indignation ran high when our people learned of the cowardly act of the man who ran over Constant Hammes's little child Saturday evening and never stopped his car to see what harm he had done. These details of the affair are taken from the Sigourney Review.
"There was an awful accident in the south east corner of German township last Saturday evening about seven o'clock. The seventeen months old baby girl of Mr. and Mrs. C.P. Hammes was run over by a passing automobile and died Sunday morning from injuries received.
The driver of the car never stopped and his identity, if known, has not been revealed.
The Hammes family live along the public road and Saturday evening while Mrs. Hammes milked the cow and little daughter played just across the fence from the cow yard by the road side, an automobile went driving past and ran over the child. The mother screamed but the driver went on. She gathered up her babe, sent for a couple of doctors, but the little one passed away Sunday morning early.
Whether the driver of the car was drunk and paid no attention to where he was going or whether he did not see the child or hear the mother is not known but probably will be made known when the guilty party is apprehended.
Accidents may occur with the most careful driver but there can be no legitimate excuse for not stopping the car after an innocent child has been run down.
The automobile association feels very bitter over the occurrence and it is not likely its members will rest easily until all facts are known.

NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
The State Supreme court of Iowa has laid down the rule that automobile drivers who kill persons in the highway by reckless driving may be convicted of manslaughter.
The decision came in the case of G. W. Biewen of Keokuk county, a farmer, who was convicted for the killing of Clarissa Hammes, a child 18 months old.
This is the first Iowa case in which a driver has been sentenced for manslaughter “while using an automobile as a dangerous weapon.” The record shows that Biewen went on and did not offer to aid the child he had run over.
