but that the right-hand front
door was found open by the
first person to get to the car, D.
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.
