Held Accident
Will Ralph King, 20, of High
Point, has been absolved of all
blame in the death of Joanne Ben
son, five-year-old Durham child
who was killed on July 4 seven miles
east of Benson.
The child was struck by an au
tomobile driven by King and was
pronounced dead on arrival at the
Dunn Hospital.
An inquest was conducted by Co
roner James Pittman of Johnston
County. It was Johnston’s first high
way fatality of the year.
According to evidence at the in
quest, the child ran in front of the
car driven by King, who said he
was going 40 or 50 miles an hour.
UNAVOIDABLE
Tlie coroner’s Jury, after viewing
the scene of the holiday tragedy,
ruled that death was “unavoidable.”
Members of the jury were Norman
Duncan. Jesse McLamb, L. E. Clif
ton. D. R. Stephenson. J. M. Adams
and Otis Porter,, all of Benson
. The child’s death was witnes
sed by her father, J. Denton Ben
son of Durham. Mr. and Mrs. Ben
son and' their children were visit
ing at the home of Mrs. Benson’s
mother, Mrs. H. Kelly Harper, at
the time of the accident.
Benson told investigating! offi
cers, Highway Patrolman Joe Whi
taker and David Matthews that he
went across the road to a garden
and looked back to see Joanne fol
lowing him. He said he saw the car
coming and yelled to the child to
turn back, but It was too late.

Howard. “I can’t afford it.”
“Well,” replied the room clerk,
“How much can you afford?
ard told him, “about SB.” “pJC.,”
said the room clerk, “you can have
it for SB.” It wasn’t really the
price of the suite that worried How- I

of talking the clerk into cutting
off the four dollars But you can’t
argue with success... And Howard

Top Billing In Film
HOLLYWOOD 01) A postmans

hto first acting job, but he con

himself on the screen, “It was
pretty nauseating.”
Some critics hail handsome Rob
ert Francis as a new hero erf the
celltddd after hto portrayal of Wil

But the tall, .collegiate - looking
Francis’ first reaction, when he
saw himself stacked up against
Humphrey Bogart, Fred MaCMur

leel ill.
“But it’s exciting,”, he grinned.
