Accidental Wreck Takes Life Of Young
Duplin Man At Bear Marsh Church
A deliberate violation of the law,
to wit: driving an auto without dri
ver's license, resulted in the death
of a friend. If driver had not been
driving the accident would not have
occurred.
Last Saturday night three young
men, Dennis E. Byrd, age 16, Rob
ert Eugene Hargrove, age 18, and
a third boy whose name we were
not able to secure of near Faison,
were riding' east along iie road at
Bear Marsh church. Young "Har
grove was under the steering wheel
of a 1U36 Packard. According to
Lester Southerland, who testified
at the Coroner's hearing, the boys
were not speeding. He said they
passed him at the top of the hill
near the church and he was going
35 miles per hour. He stated that
in his opinion they were not going
over 40. After passing his car the
Packard left the road on the right
and then swerved back to the left,
overturning. Byrd was thrown from
the car and it fell over on him. He
