INQUEST TO BE
HELD TONIGHT
Probe In Death Of Sailor,
In War Hero In Crash
Set By Coroner
An inquest will be held to
night in the death cl a sailor
attached to the PC-776 here and
a local World War II hero who
were instantly killed early yes
terday morning in an oil tank
er-automobile collision, Act
ing Coroner Dr. Fred H. Cole
man said last night.
The* dead were Hugh C.
Reece, son of Fireman J. E.
Reece, and Lewis Goldy, 253
Madison avenue, Bridgeport.
Floyd Council, 23-year-old
driver of the car in which they
were riding, was treated at
James Walker Memorial hospi
tal for lacertions of the scalp,
lacerations of the upper lip and
loss of two teeth, was later
placed in jail on charges of op
erating an automobile while un
der the influence and careless
and reckless driving resulting
in death. He was released on
payment of a $1,000 cash bond
in Recorder’s court later yes
terday.
miss Aima uause, Zj-year-oid
passenger in the Council car,
who was treated for abrasions
of the right knee, right hip and
chest, was held under $250 bond
on the technical charge of va
grancy as a material witness to
the accident.
Daniel J. Gurganus, Route 1,
Wilmington, driver of the
heavy, 1947 model oil tanker,
was uninjured in the crash.
Gurganus reported to investi
gating officers that he was driv
ing northeast down Cowan
street and came to a stop at
Fourth street prior to turning
north into Fourth. He said that
he saw Council’s 1940 sedan ap
proaching on a zig-zag course
south on Fourth.
The driver of the tanker said
that Council’s car came to a
complete stop some distance
from the corner at which his
truck was stopped and that he
then attempted to turn the truck
into Fourth, but that the other
car started again suddenly, ap
parently in second gear and at
a high rate of speed. The car
swerved to the left, back to the
right and to the left again be
fore hitting the trailer’s left
front bumper, he said.
According to the police report,
Gurganus told them that he
thought that Council was at
tempting to pass his truck in
the rear and consequently tried
to pull the trailer around and
out of the way of the car.
After the collision, he told po
lice, he found a young man and
young woman slumped over in
the front seat of the automobile
and two other young men lying
on the pavement outside. The
rear wheels of the heavy trailer
apparently had passed over
them, he said.
Both men, Zoldy with injuries
to the stomach and chest and
Reece with head injuries, were
killed instantly and were re
moved to Andrews mortuary
from the scene of the wreck.
Dr. Fred H. Coleman, acting
coroner, said that an inquest in
to the deaths of the two men
will be held tonight at 7:30 p.m
In their report of the acci
dent, police officers said that
Council told them that he had
had two drinks of whisky at
around 8:30 p.m. and had
drunk several bottles of beer la
ter in the evening. He was
quoted as saying he picked up
Miss Gause and an unidentified
man who later got out of the
car at a local drive-in and later
picked up Reece nd Zoldy in
the 200 block of Grace street.
Council’s occupation was list
ed by the police as “sailor.”
Surviving Reece are his moth
er and father; one brother,
James E. Reece, Jr., Los An
geles, Calif.; and one sister,
Mrs. J. H. Hardy, Wilmington.

SUPREME COURT
REVERSES LOCAL
BODY YESTERDAY
Among the decisions handed
down yesterday by the North
Carolina Supreme court was the
reversal of a judgment by Judge
Chester Morrison, of Currituck,
in New Hanover Superior court
last July to set aside a suit of the
City of Wilmington against Shutt
Brothers grocery.
The suit involved only ap
proximately $190 expended by
the city during the war to ex
terminate rats for the firm with
the agreement that the city would
be reimbursed, observers said last
night.
There are some 14 or 15 other
firms who may be sued for the
recovery of such expenditures if
this case proves successful for
the city, it was said.
