Woman Killed
in Anto Wreck
Dead Woman Identified As Miss
Edna Earie Sugg, Of
- x Greenville
WTUiamstan, Aug. 17.?A woman
was killed and another badly injured;
when their car, a Buick sedan, turned"
over several times on highway route
tO between Windsor, and Aulander
Saturday'night about 9 o'clock. The
car caught fire and was practically
burned to ruin. The body of the killed
woman was dragged from the wreck
before the flames reached it. ?
So far there has been considerable
dispute as to the true identity of the
two women. According ?b reports in
Norfolk papers, the young woman who
was killed was Edna Daniel, of York
and Yarmouth streets, Norfolk^ and
die driver was Mrs. Florence Wiliam
son, of 12th street, Norfolk. The pap
ers stated that the two women left
that city at a late hour Saturday and
I started for Washington to visit kms
? people of the Williamson woman.
? v The accident was. caused when a
? tire burst and the driver, the WiiHato
I son woman, suddenly applied the car's
? brakes, gthe machine tc turn
I the names given by the Norfolk,
? papers seemed to be incorrect and it
? was later reported , that the driver of
? the car was a Miss Patterson who was
I j driving the ear belonging to her Nor
Bj folk sweetheart and the woman who
I ] was killed was Miss Enda Earie Sugg,
? a grass widow, of Greenville.

Friday morning she went in for a

as soon as the news was spread that
