The Brookside avenue crossing
is guarded only by a bell' and
lighls. There are no gales there.
The lights and bell are said to
have been in working order by
Patrolman Carpenter, of the

But these "safeguards" did not
prevent Mrs. Giebel, alone in her
car, from driving onto the tracks,
in-the path of an east-bound train.
Although the train had stopped at
Baldwin, it was going fast enough
to drag the automobile about 84
feet • and hurl It J&tP a ditch,

from'lhe wreckage, died about ten
minutes later.

Victor Moore and
His Son Hurt In
Boat Explosion
Escape Serious Injury
As Cabin Cruiser
Blows Up In Bay
Victor 'Moore, stage and screen
actor, and his twenty-five-year-old
son, Robert, escaped serious Injury
on Tuesday in an explosion of
fumes in the bilge of the actor's
thirty-two-foot cabin cruiser at n
gasoline pier in Peconic Bay at
Green port L. I. Mr. Moore has
been for many years a resident of
Freeport.
They were taken to Eastern Long
Island Hospital, where Mr. Moore
was treated for minor cuts on his
hands and slight burns of the
head. His son was treated • for
third-degree burns of the hands,
legs and arms. Both were released
and returned to the actor's present
home at 875 Fifth -avenue. New
York.
The blast, which occurred as Mr.
Moore and his son were preparing
for a fishing trip, threw the actor
to the floor of the deck house and
his son against a bulkhead in the
engine room. It blew the top of
the cruiser into the water and
damaged parts of the machinery,
but the craft stayed afloat.
Robert Moore told Greenport
police that the explosion was ap-
_parently. touched bg .by_ a "spark

the motor when the blast came,
Robert Moore, who lives at 8
Nancy Boulevard. Merrick, was a
private in the 106th Division in

captured by German forces in Dec..
1944. During his imprisonment his
weight dropped from 130 pounds
to sixty-five. He appeared in the
motion picture "Boys Town" and
also in the service production,
"This Is the Army."
Mr. Moore said later that he and
his son "were lucky to be alive—
it could have happened out. in the
bay." He said he prized the cruiser
but added the scare was enough to
keep him off small boats for the
rest of his life. The seventy-year-old
comedian said he had loaned
the cruiser, the Vicmore, to the
Coast Guard during the war and
that it had been returned to him
eight months ago.
