The tragedy of the right angle turn on the States ville road, ten miles north of Char lotte, Sunday night, wherein Mr. John M. Craig and Miss Christine Maxwell, two well known young peo ple of the city, were killed and Messrs. David J. Craig of Statesville and Mr. W. H. McCabe, Jr., and the colored chauffeur, James Hunter, bet ter known as "Fingers," were serious ly but not fatally injured when Mr. Craig's high powered seven-passenger motor car overturned, was the talk of the city and this entire sec tion of the State yesterday. The news of the distressing accident, which was carried in the early editions of The Observer yesterday morning, quickly spread abroad, and many were the expressions of sorrow and regret heard. It is safe to say that there was not a more popular young man in the city than Mr. Craig and with those who were acquainted with Miss Maxwell in Salisbury, Winston-Salem, Statesville, Blowing Rock and Char lotte, she was universally beloved. Such being the case, it can readily be seen just how intense was the inter est -and concern manifested on the part of the. public generally. The injured yesterday were re ported as improving steadily, Mr. Craig's bruises about the head res ponding satisfactorily to treatment, and Mr. McCabe's wrist proving very comfortable. It will be recalled that the former was thrown on his head and a severe gash cut in his fore head. It was first apprehended that his skull might have been slightly fractured, but these fears proved to be groundless.; Mr. McCabe was able to be out yesterday and it Is hoped that Mr. Craig will be out in e.w days.
