The car, driven by Marshall, was entering the main highway from a side road when struck by the oncoming Buick. The smaller car turned over several times and the Buick proceeded on its way without lending any assistance to the injured people. All five were removed to the Tumble Inn where they were treated by Doctors F.F Gow, E.J. Callahan and M.D. Duby of Schuylerville. They remained at the Tumble Inn all night and Monday morning were removed to the Marshall home at Wayville. Marshall did not regain consciousness until late Monday night, but his condition is now described as hopeful, and the other members of the party are resting comfortably.

Story of Peonage in Saratoga County - Immigrant youth charges his uncle kept him prisoner in cellar to operate still A strange story of imprisonment and forced labor amounting to virtual slavery has been revealed in Saratoga County by the arrest of William Kruger who lives in the town of Wilton. Kruger is accused of having brought his nephew here from Germany and kept him a prisoner for several months. According to City Judge F. Andrew Hall of Saratoga Springs, who represents the plaintiff in a action in supreme court which brought about Kruger's arrest, he sent for his nephew, Hans Kruger, about twenty-two years old, in the spring of 1927, and induced him to come to this country. He arrived in August last year. When the youth arrivedin Saratoga county, unable to speak a word of English, and totally unfamiliar with his surroundings, he was at once set to work by his uncle in the cellar of his Wilton home. There, according to Judge Hall, the youth was forced for long hours every day to operate a still which he said was being used for the manufacture of illicit liquors. Hans was kept imprisoned in the cellar for nearly ten months. His jailer, so Judge Hall declared, gave him very little to eat, and the dampness of the cellar and the fumes from the distillations broke down his health. Driven by his desperate plight, Hans broke out of his cellar in May of this year, and made his way on foot to Albany. Authorities there picked him up and turned him over to the local Humane society. Here his statements were verified, and a settlement agreed upon between William Kruger and Hans for his services and damages to his health while imprisoned. This would have yielded Hans enough money to aid him to return to Germany. William Kruger, however, according to Judge Hall, never paid the settlement agreed upon therefore, to force Kruger to make this settlement, Judge Hall brought suit to recover for injuries sustained by the boy's imprisonment and the alleged inhuman treatment accorded him. On September 4 Justice Goldsmith issued an order of arrest. After much effort, and many attempts, Deputy Sheriff Wilson apprehended the defendant Tuesday afternoon in Saratoga Springs. He was lodged at once in the Saratoga county jail.
