WILLIAM SCOTT CRASH VICTIM.

William SCOTT, 28, the only American who was among those killed when two trains slammed together in Yokohama Nov. 9, has several local relatives. Young SCOTT was trapped 4½ hours in the wreckage of the two passenger trains, and died in a hospital five hours later of internal injuries. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold SCOTT of Colorado Springs, Colo., he had visited in Fairfield many times. His father was an outstanding athlete of Parsons College. For the second year SCOTT was teaching at International Christian University in Tokyo. A graduate of Stanford University, SCOTT taught there a year and in Honolulu a year before deciding to try his hand at writing. He had spent three years living in Viet Nam, New Guinea, Formosa and Australia. Surviving, besides his parents, are a brother, Harold SCOTT Jr., of Montgomery, Ala., and several uncles, aunts and other relatives. Mrs. Jessie MILLER and Raymond SCOTT, aunt and uncle of the young author-explorer, and Mrs. Carl ZILLMAN, a cousin, will leave Tuesday for Colorado Springs to attend funeral services.
