TRUCK KILLS SOUTH AMHERST BOY
. <
' Henry Myers, Jr., aged 12 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Myers, living
In ths Gibson house, South Amherst, was killed Wednesday afternoon at
aoouTT:30 o'clock when he was run over by a truck driven by Ray C.
Wise of Birmingham. The boy was said to have been crossing the street
at the main South Amherst corner, when the truck, an Overland loaded
with fruit, bore down upon him, the driver "cutting the dummy" and driving at a high rats of spsed. The boy was thrown to the ground, the truck
passing over his chsst. Dr. A. F. McQuen, hastily called to the scene,
said death earns within 10 minutes, the led bresthing but ones or twice after he arrived.
After ths accident, according to sye-witnesses, Wise never stopped a
aecond, but put on speed and headed north. Spectators phoned to Qrove
Ormsby, who Intercepted him as Wise pissed the Ormsby place and plsced
him under arrest Circumstances make it appear that Wise is In for plenty
of trouble before hs gsts through. Ths charge will probably be manslaughter.
Henry Myers, J,*., was a bright young lad, loved by all who knew him.
He ia survived by his parents, snd by three brothers and sisters. Funeral
arrangements had not been completed at press time.
Ths fstallty may serve aa a lesson to many automobile drivers in this
vicinity, who havo shown reckless disregard for any caution while driving
through village streets, many of them defying all efforts of ths officials to
make the streets safe for pedeetrians. Pedestrians are a unit for demand-
lng that an example be made end the law-breakers punished to the fullest

After ths accident, according to sye-witnesses, Wise never stopped a aecond, but put on speed and headed north. Spectators phoned to Qrove Ormsby, who Intercepted him as Wise pissed the Ormsby place and plsced him under arrest Circumstances make it appear that Wise is In for plenty of trouble before hs gsts through.
