Keith, who operates a service
station in Vass, received a call to
send a wrecker to Lakeview to
pull the car from the water. It
was owned by some women who
were stopping at the hotel there,
who, according to the report, had
asked Leroy Gilchrist, a colored
boy, to do an errand for them, of
fering him the use of the cat.
