HURTS MAN FATALLY, BUT DOES NOT STOP
Motorcyclist Faces Charge of Manslaughter.
Injuries suffered shortly before 8 o'clock yesterday morning, when a motorcyclist struck his bicycle at East Avenue and Oxford Street resulted in the death of Adam Baird, 50 years old of No. 288 Laburnum Crescent, several hours later at the Hahnemann Hospital. Major Stannard, the motorcyclist, is held on charges of manslaughter and not stopping after hitting a person. Stannard is colored, 29 years old, and lives at No. 55 Favor Street.
Baird, who was a carpenter, was riding to work on his bicycle and as he turned into East Avenue from Oxford Street Stannard's motorcycle struck him head on. Stannard is said to have put on additional power instead of stopping. Clarence Pye, of No. 1 Avon Place, was riding his motorcycle in East Avenue and saw the accident from a distance. He gave chase and overtook Stannard near the Penfield Road. Pye told Stannard that he had better return and give himself up, but Stannard went on toward Brighton.
In the meantime, Baird had been found unconscious in the street by Inspector Stein, who was making his rounds in the police automobile. He was rushed to the hospital where it was found he was suffering from a fractured skull. Inspector Stein received a description of the accident from Pye, and several automobiles were sent into Brighton to search for Stannard.
Inspector Stein met Stannard returning to the city. Stannard was shaking from freight when he saw Stein and could hardly answer the questions put to him. He explained that he hurried from the place of the accident because he wanted to report for work and that he intended to return. He was lodged in the University Avenue Station on a charge of hitting a man and running away. When Baird died an additional charge of manslaughter was placed against him.
Coroner Killip will hold an inquest and the police think that on Pye's testimony he will ask for an indictment on the manslaughter charge.

It looks as if charges were dropped against Major Stannard. For more information check www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html and in the search field type "Adam Baird" - a great deal of information can be read there.
