Mr. Black is well known in Mr. John Birr who was injured in the accident and who is still in the Durham hosprital suffering from brokâ€" en ribs and other bruises, is not, well enough to give evidence, _ and this is the reason for the adjournâ€" ment.

Both men lost | much blood, but Sweeney‘s skull cuts were most severe, one in back being deep and three inches long. Little hope was held out for him from the first and he passed away about 4.30 a.m. in the hospital. _ Mr. Sweeney was a maried man about 40 years of age and leaves a 'wi(e and one child, only a few ‘months old.

The impact "z.hot him forward, his head struck something which stunned him and Davis grabbed the wheel. When they . squeezed out to view the damage . they found both _ Birr and Sweeney' had been thrown out the right door' of their truck, opened by the force of | the impact, and were lying on paveâ€"| ment in pools of blood with severel head gashes. The gruesome sight beâ€"| side the wrecked trucks, brought him, to more clearly, he stated, and each went a different direction on highway’ as best they could, to find a phone, { on their way home from Formosa, | where they had delivered a loai olj |logs, and were almost home, when | their truck collided with a big new | |G.M.C. truck driven by Geo.
