THREE-YEAR OLD •/
GIRL DIES WHEN
STRUCK BY AUTO
Mary Jerome Shinn Dies Af
ter Being Struck by Auto
mobile Driven by Henry
Kirk, of City.
Mary Jerome Shinn. 3-year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Archie
Shinn, died at the Concord Hospital
Thursday night of injuries received
when she was struck by an automobile
driven by Henry Kirk, lp-yenr old
Concord youth. Kirk was ordered
held under bond in the sum of SISOO
by a jury summoned for an inquest
by Coroner Hartsell.
The accident occurred about 7:30
on Valley street and the baby died
a few minutes after reaching the hos
pital, being carried there in Kirk’s
car. Her head was fractured in the
accident, an ugly and jagged hole over
the left eye showing the approximate
location of the fracture.
Kirk took the stand at the inquest
and said he ran over the child but did
not knock her down. She fell when
his car was a few feet from her, he
said, and he. could not stop before
running over her.
Other witnesses also testified that
(he child fell to the street before
Kirk’s car reached her. while several
others, all eye-witnesses, said Kirk
was making “pretty good" speed and
that his car knocked the child to the
street.
Kirk said just after he turned into
Valley street from Depot street he
sftw a car being 'driven to the left
>i«le of tlie road. “I watched the
car to see that I did not strike it,”
he said "and just as I pulled to my
left to go around it I saw the child
in the road. I think there were two
of the children but i am not certain.
(“I applied the brakes but as the
child fell right in front of the car
1 could not miss her. I did not strike
her with my car until she had already
fallen.”
Kirk said he thought he was driving
about 20 miles an hour. His car
went some distance after the accident,
he said, because “I was scared aml
couldn't put on the brakes.”
Homer Starnes told the jury
he was talking to the man who had
just parked the car metioned by Kirk.
He said he saw Kirk's car before the
accident and that it was not going
faster than 20 miles an hour. He also
testified that the child fell before the
ear reached her.
AA’nlter Brewer, owner of the car
which parked on the left side of the
road, said he did not see the accident
but that he saw Kirk's ear approach
ing. It was not traveling faster than
20 miles an hour, he said.
Jack Trull testified that the child
fell before Kirk's car struck her.
Kirk, he thought, was going about 20
miles an hour.
<’lark Russell told the jury that he
was looking up A'nlley street when the
■accident occurred, and in his opinion
Kirk was making “pretty good Hjieed.”
The witness said the Kirk car struck
the child. Kirk’s car. he said, slid
about 30 feet after striking the child.
This witness also said that Kirk
had passed the Brewer car before he
reached the child and expressed the
opinion that he could have , “pulled
to the right maybe, and missed the
baby.”
J. L. Overcash also told the jury
that he was an eye-witness. “J had
been looking over Brewer's car,” he
said, “and when he drove off I watch
ed him go up the street. A second -or
two before he reached the place where
he stopped Kirk turned into A’alley
street. He was making pretty good
speed.
* “I saw the kids in the road and—”
Here the witness turned his head
as though he had wanted to do the
same when he saw the car approach
ing.
"Well,” he continued, “I saw the
car strike the baby. It looked to me
like the blow picked her up about
2 feet from the ground. Her head
struck the street first.” Overcash
said Kirk's car had already passed the
Brewer car and that there was enough
room for the driver to have cut either
to the right or left.
Overcash also said that Kirk’s car
slid 21 steps in all, about 15 feet
before the ehild was struck and about
35 or 40 feet afterwards. He also
testified that Brewer’s Car had stop
ped before Kirk reached it.
Kirk was released Thursday night
several hours after the accident when
he furnished Sheriff R. V. Caldwell,
Jr., with bond in the sum designated
by the coroner's jury.

NINE DAYS LEFT IN
WHICH TO BUY 1927
AUTO LICENSE TAGS
Motorists of 1 Cabarrus Coun
ty Are Urged to Purchase
New Plates at Once and
Avoid Rush.
Slightly more than one week re
mains during which time automobile
owners of Concord and Cabarrus
county may purchase the new 1927
license plates and avoid violation of
the slate vehicle license law. After
June 30th all car owners in North
Carolina must have new tags on their
machines.
Motorists in this dty and county
have quickened steps ro obtain plates
after a very sjow beginning. R. D.
Mcßride at the branch office of the
Carplina Motor Club said this morn
ing that 1,087 plates had been sold
through Monday, June 20th. He ex
pects this figure to jump to more than
2,000 by the close of the week. ,
Judging from the sales of license
plates here in past years, it is ex
pected that more than 4,000 tags will
be issued to motorists from Concord
this year.
The branch office of the Carolina
Motor Club is located at the Reid
Moior Co., corner of East Corbin and

that liipuor could be found, and he
got in touch with Deputy Sheriff
Tice and drove to where the Cadillac
was being loaded. They drove in so
that the Cadillac could not make a
getaway, and called on Kel’y and
Willard to surrender. Willard did.
but Kelly made a break and got
away. Sheriff Martin chased him for
about half a mile, and was gaining
on him rapidly, but the sheriffs
wind gave out a little before Kelly’s
did. and he ha,d to stop, but later
Kelly was captured.
Hatley’s car and the Cadillac had
their rear seats taken out /to give
more storage room, but there was no
direct evidence that Hatley knew
anything about the liquor and he
.got his release on this ground. Kelly
had 45 pistol, which the sheriff
confiscated.

I the liquor business when nothing- 1
goes wrong. Sheriff Martin under- 1
stood Kelly to say that he paid
either $265 or $365 for the liquor. 1
and would have so’d- it for a total of
SB4O. Willard told Mr. Tice that <
they paid only $2 a gallon or $l6B
for the liquor, which would have i
been a profit of $672 on the one load.
