NUMBER 40
AWARDS RIGGAN
$600 DAMAGES
Case In Court as Result Of
Automobile Wreck On
January 17th
SUIT WAS FOR $10,000.00
A Warren county jury yesterday
afternoon at _:15 o'clock awarded
Jack Riggan $600 for damages done
bis young son, Harry Riggan, who
was injured on Saturday afternoon.
January 17, when a car driven by
his siter, Miss Carrie Mae Riggan.
Local telephone operator, crash
into the rear of the Home Furniture
& Supply Co. truck near War
renton. me piainwn was asauig
for $10,000.
Counsel for Mr. Riggan offered
three points of contention?that
the truck did no have a right to
park where it did, that it was
parked without lights, that the
truck was over 80 inches in width
md did not carry clearance lights.
The attorney for the defendant.
It was said, proved that the vehicle
was lighted, and that it was parked
in a lawful manner. The fact
that the truck was over 80 inches
in width and did not carry clearance
lights was responsible, it is
thought, for the jury deciding in
tavor of the plaintiff.
The case was hard fought with
Julius Banzet representing the
Heme Furniture & Supply Co. and
Solicitor R. Hunt Parker and
Julian Allsbrook, of the law firm
of Parker and Allsbrook of Roanoke
Rapids, representing tne plaintiff.
The legal battle began Tuesday
afternoon and the jury was given
the case about 10:30 yesterday.
According to reports at the time
of the accident, Miss Riggan was
passing J. M. Ellis store about a
mile north of Warrenton. A crowd
ui people were coming out of a
maavImi ?r?rl fhA
Ul <X IXV/lilC UCaiKfJ ouu V^v
girl turned out to av>id striking
them and cut her car too far,
causing it to crash into the Home
Furniture & Supply Co. truck
parked in front of the Ellis store.
The truck, driven by Andrew
Smiley, was said to have been
parked with two wheels resting In
the ditch on the edge of the road.
Young Mr. Riggan was cut the
entire length of his face, from his
forehead through his chin. It was
necessary to take 37 stitches in
the boy's face. Miss Riggan was
badly shaken up but escaped injury.
The top of the Ford roadster was
torn off as well as the windshield.
No damage resulted to the truck.
Results of other cases tried by
this term of Superior court which
eegan last Thursday afternoon with
Judge W. C. Harris of Raleigh presiding
were as follows: Boyd Gillam
Motor Company was awarded
6145 in a case against G. R. Rogers,
fn the case of W. E. Hawks vs Mattie
J. Tucker and Willie Tucker,
growing out of disputes over
boundary lines, it was decided that
a new surveys should be made and
that each should pay half of the
court costs. In the case of Edward
C. Rundell. executor of Mary Rundell
vs John W. Scott, the jury decided
that the defendant was indebted
to the plaintiff in the
amount of $3603 68 with interest
from June 14, 1930. The case of
Susie J. Overby against R. D. Grif
fin was transferred to the Vance
county Superior court.
Divorces were granted in the
cases of Thomas Hicks vs Lizzie
Hicks and Carrie G. Cox vs A. P.
Cox.
The case of Swift & Co. vs Popular
Mount Mercantile Co. and J.
0. Brauer was being tried late yesterday
afternoon.
Deputy Arrests

camp last Wednesday, was arrested

officers came for him.
Williams was sent to Rocky
Mount from Warren county. He
* ? ' - * * -L -1?
was at lirst sentenced to sia iuuuu?

many citizens on Tuesday about 2
o'clock when the fire alarm was
sounded. The fire was extinguished,
without damage, before the fire
company and citizens arrived.
