ENDORSES VERDICT

The executive committee OF the
Richmond Automobile club took no
action last night in regard TO the
death of William Henry Martin, "a
on The Williamsburg pike last We'd
nesday night. The case was discussed
at length, however. particularly that
part which related TO Constable II. A
ricade across the road TO stop the men
in the light truck driven by Martin.
and who WAS acquitted by coroner 5
jury Of causing Martins death.
Fuiner Bright and Secretary Jay
Lewis. who had attended the inquest
conducted by Coroner Taylor. said that
all the evidence tended to show that
had taken the truck out in direct dis
obedience of the Instructions given
them by the management of the con-
Germ which owned the truck and were
driying NJ reckless pace when the ar=
eident occurred.
President pelouxe repeated that the
erection of barricade across public
nigaway by a public officer. even with
TRIO of Joy riders. did not commend
itself 10 him and had been condemned
by the verdict Of the coroner's jury.
He said. however. that in his opinion
mand the attention of the Richmond
Automobile club and in this attitude
the other members. DR.. Bright. Isaac
ThAlheimer, II. Grim Peck and Claude
L. Ratkins as well as DIR. Harry s.
Corey. vice-president of the club,
agreed. The opinion among the auto
mobile men was that the matter could
be allowed to rest safely in the hands
of the county authorities.
