WOMAN WALKING
MIDDLE OF HIWAY
IS KILLED BY CAR
Rebecca Norman, Negro woman
about 50 years of age, was almost
instantly killed at 10 a-m. Monday
when struck by an automobile on
Highway 125, about five miles South
of Halifax.
The driver of the car was Miss
Alice Beatrice Stalls of Roberson
Ville, who told investigating officers
she was on her way to Roanoke
Rapids to visit her sister, Miss
Frankie Stalls.
The Negro woman was walking
down the middle of the highway
with a small child. They were
walking in the same direction as
the car was traveling (the wrong
way to walk on a highway). As
the car approached the woman and
child divided, one darting one way,
one the other. The woman then
tried to cross over to the side the
child was on and was hit by the
right fender of the car.
The case was investigated by
Coroner T. M. Cooper, Patrolman
Rothrock and Long and deputy
sheriffs Pittman and Pope. The
verdict of the Coroner was "un
avoidable accident” with the driver
exonerated from any blame.
