?gain it started to roll. From that
point until the car came to rest, he
said he didn't remember because
of a blow on the head.
When he came to, the car was
bottom side up and he was the
only one in the car. He said he
climbed out in search of his
friends. He found Eiggs at the
site of the first roU still conscious.
Next he went to Allen who asked
him to check the ignition.
Grossnickle said be went back
and checked the car, removing a
floor mat which was smoking. He
then asked the crowd that had
gathered if they would get blankets
or a coat to put on his friends.
Nobody answered, he said, so he
went to a nearby house and bor
rowed a blanket and a coat
After covering up Riggs and, Al- i
len, Grossnickle said he pa**ed out
and remembers only that Patrol
man Sykes was there and took him
to the hospital for examination.
At the hospital Grossnickle said
he asked for a blood test or some
other alcoholic test. The physician
on duty said that there was no test
that he could give.
Henry Holt, Rainbow Inn, told
the court that he sold the three
men two beers each, and while
Grossnickle was out, Riggs and Al
len shared Grossnickle's second
bee^.
Riggs and Allen testified that
they had ordered two beers with
Grossnickle drinking only one and
a part of the second. They had
the remainder. They could not con
firm the statement made by Gross
nickle that another car w^s ap
proaching on the curve on their
side.
Grossnickle's lawyer asked for a
warrant amended to reckless driv
ing which Judge Morris granted
against the vigorous protest of
Wiley Taylor, solicitor. The speed
ing charge was dropped, also
against Mr. Taylor's wishes.
