MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE WILL BE FILED TODAY Accident Occurs at Fourth and Dane Streets at 7:15 O'clock Last Evening. An Information has been prepared by County Attorney Hoxie charging John Beener with manslaughter. Beener was operating the motorcycle which struck Mathias Frost last evening. Beener will have a hearing Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. Mathias Frost, age 79 a retired farmer, who until recently was employed in the city street cleaning department, was run down by a motorcycle operated by John Beener, 527 Webster street, at the intersection of Fourth and Dane streets at 7:15 last evening and suffered injuries which resulted in his death at St Francis hospital two hours later. Beener reported the accident at police head quarters at 8:30 and was released on his own recognizance to appear in police court. He was arraigned on a charge of speeding this morning, but entered a plea of not guilty. Police Judge Meyers announced that the accused man would be held without bonds as a charge of manslaughter would be filed against him. Mr. Frost had just stepped off the curbing when Beener's motorcycle, said to be traveling at a high rate of speed, struck the aged man a glancing blow. He was thrown to the pavement with considerable force and was picked up in an unconscious condition. He was rushed to St Francis hospital, but an examination revealed a fractured skull, and no hope was held out for the injured man's recovery. He died at 9:10 without regaining consciousness. FAILED TO STOP The accident was witnessed by Julias Slauch, 232 Quincy street, and Ben Wise, 1111 Randolph street. They notified the police and stated that Beener was traveling at an excessive rate of speed and failed to stop to ascertain the nature of the man's injuries after the collision. Beener was accompanied by Frank Kuntz, who resides on Lupton street This is the second serious accident which Beener has had with his motorcycle. He struck woman on Cottage street early last spring and for several days it was believed that the injured woman would not recover.
