J. Gurganus, of Castie Hayne road, the driver of the tanker. The two young men who were killed died instantly when the wheels of the loaded tanker pass ed over them after they were thrown from the car, according to the reports. In her testimony before the jury Miss Gause said that when she revived immediately after the accident Council was in the front seat of the car, “but how he got there, I don’t know.” She said that when she climbed out of the back seat she found “Floyd passed out, but he revived and jumped out of the car and went and knelt down by Reece.” Under cross examination she said that she was Council’s “date” on the night of the accident and that he “acted like he hadn’t been drinking.” He was charged with reckless operation leading to death and operating under the influence by the investigating officers, who told the jury that Council had admitted “taking a couple of drinks around 8:30” and drinking “four or five or six bottles of beer later.” Gurganus told the jury that he stopped his truck, which he was driving northeast on Cowan street and preparing to-turn north into Fourth, at the intersection when he saw the other car com ing over the railroad bridge north on Fourth. lie said tnat tne rora puneu to the right and slowed down to a stop or practically a stop at the right hand curb, and that he started to drive on into Fourth street. Then the car started again at a rapid rate of speed and swerved to the left, then back to the right and finally back to the left before striking the left front of his truck on the east side of the center line of Fourth street, he related. He said that the impact threw his front wheels out of line and made it impossible for him to use his brakes without crashing into a store building on Fourth and that he pulled the truck back to the right to avoid the building and a possible fire, since he was loaded with 40,000 gal lons of kerosene. He said that the gear the truck was in would have i prevented his going more thar 'five miles an hour at the time, Miss Gause later denied tha1 the truck had stopped for tha1 j the car had stopped prior to the I accident and said that the tanker was traveling at a “pretty good speed.” Gurganus said that he found Miss Gause sitting on the edge ot the right-hand front seat and Council slumped in the front seat with his head against her knee when he was able to gel to the car. The right front door ! was open, he said. After being out considering the | case for 25 minutes, the mem bers of the jury asked to see the car before reaching their ver dict, which was returned at 11:3C p. m. It was brought out that Coun cil, after spending the night oi the accident in jail here follow ing treatment at James Walker Memorial hospital, is now in the Naval hospital at Camp Lejeune, where they plan to keep him three of four weeks for treat ment. The defense for Council, led by Attorney W. K. Rhodes, Jr., brought out the fact that there were no bruises found on Coun cil’s body from his lip, which was cut, to his knees, which were bruised. They said if he had been driving and the steering wheel of the car crushed as it was, he wrould have suffered chest injuries, or at least bruises. A Naval lieutenant, who told of Council, an MMM 1-c, sta tioned aboard the PC 776 here, being at Camp Lejeune, said that officials at the camp had told him that Council told them that he was riding in the back seat. The police officers said that Council told them at the hospital here after the wreck, that the last he remembered, he was driv ing the car. Miss Gause said that she, the two sailors and Reece had been “just driving around” from the ' time she got off work at 1 a. m. at the Carolina Drive-In until the accident. They had turned around at the Ideal Grill and headed back toward her home at the time of the collision, she said. Leroy Hooks, 1123 North Fourth street, who said he was the first person at the scene of the ac cident, arriving there two min. utes after the crash, caused a brief uproar at the hearing last night by saying that there were three men on the ground, in ad dition to one in the front seat, when he arrived. He said. “We put two men in the ambulance, excusing the two who wyere dead.” Ambulance Driver Richard Andrews was called and refut ed Hooks testimony, saying that only one man, Council, w7as car ried to the hospital. PGLICL JEEP kept strikers scattered. How lever, and no rioting on a scale which has marked strikes in other Italian cities was report ed. Nearly 500,000 workers failed to show up at their jobs, but as the day wore on it became in creasingly evident that the transportation tie-up was partly responsible.
