TWO CAPITAL MEN HURT IN MARYLAND CAR CRASH
Pair Identified as Silas Cornwell and Norman Pulliam in Hospital--Quiz Started
Baltimore, Md., March 10--Two Washingtonians were seriously injured today when a taxicab in which they were riding was in a collision with a touring car on the Belair road near Kingsville, Md.
When extricated from the wrecked taxicab by State Policeman George Fauth and several motorists, the two men were unconscious. Patrolman Fauth rendered first aid to the victims of the crash pending the arrival of the Cockeysville ambulance.
The injured were taken to the Johns Hopkins Hospital, where they were tentatively identified as Norman Pulliam and Silas Cornwell, both of Washington. Cards in Cornwell's pocket indicated that he was licensed to operate a taxi. Physicians said that Cornwell had a probable fractured skull and Pulliam was believed to have been injured internally.
Police later learned that Cornwell lives at 337 C street northwest. Pulliam is said to live at 1919 Calvert street northwest. They are believed to have been returning from Philadelphia when the crash occurred.
State police began an investigation of the accident.
