Mineola, where it was found that he was dead. The father was held on a
technical charge of manslaughter by Coroner JONES.
FOUR DROWNED AS TAXI DROPS IN EAST RIVER
Three of Beer Party Swim to Surface-Driver Held on Charges
Michael FAVOLORA, 26, of 227 East 490th street, Manhattan, a taxicab

John MARTIN, 20, 312 East 101st street. All are Manhattan addresses.
FAVOLORA said he picked up the party at a dance hall at Tenth street and
Avenue C. He told the police he drove north on Exterior street and attempted
to turn west at Twenty-third street, but that apparently the steering gear
broke and the car plunged into the river.
Police later raised the car. The position of the bodies of the victims
indicated a terrific struggle to escape.

The accident occurred on Ocean Parkway in the vicinity of Avenue P. The
first car, driven by Murray MERKER, 22, of1242 Ralph avenue and owned by
Abraham WEINER of 1556 Lincoln place, was traveling south on the Parkway. From
what the police can learn, MERKER became so interested in trying to discover

PETERSON was in a car operated by Emil RODRIGUEZ, 24, of 384 Byrnes street,
Forest Hills. It was traveling west on Bergen street. According to some of the
witnesses, RODRIGUEZ tried to dash in front of a Vanderbilt avenue trolley car
and in the rush was cut off by a taxicab operated by Sebastian CAVALIER of
1520 Union street. Four passengers in the cab were shaken up, but did not
require medical attention. The lighter car was overturned. Both youths were
