 TURNS OVER ON HIM
Victim Enjoyed Large Ac- quaintance--Daughter in Panama on Visit to
 Relatives

Stanley Atkins, 3s years of age, salesman employed by E. B. Crawford. one of the local Ford dealers, and one of the most widely known young men in Birmingham. died yesterday morning at an early hour al the home of William Montgomery, a farmer, residing four miles this Side of Ashvillc, St. Clair county. as the result of injuries received at f o'clock Friday afternoon, when q Ford car he was driving turned over on him in front of Mir. AIontg gomery's home.
 Louis Arnold, following close behind Mir. Atkins in anotlNr Ford car, was the first one to reach the injured man. He was found in the road alongside the wrecked car and though unconscious, was suffering intense pain He was later removed to MT. Mon,Comery's home, and Dr. Jordan of Ashville called. He asked that his wife be notified. and to bring her to him at once, as he knew that he was soins to die. s..-
 Mrs. Atkins was called over long dis lance telephone, and J. P. Patterson, manager of Parkers Drug store, for mcr employe of Mir. Atkins, drove Mrs. Atkins to the bedside of her dying hus band, reaching MT. Montgomery's home about 2 o'clock Friday night. Mir. At kins lived until 2 o clock Saturday morn
 
 Birmingham. He is survived by his wid ow, one young son and a daughter 9 years of age, who is now on a visit to her aunt, Mrs Warren in Panama. He resided at 1912 Avenue I, South.
 FEN ROUTE FROM ATLANTA
 Nil. Atkins was en route to Birming- ham from Atlanta with Louis Arnold, c. NJ Russell, sales manager for E. G. Cfa vford. Charles Griffith, W. C. Mitch ell, and J. T. Holley, all driving Ford touring car from the Atlanta assembling plant of the Ford Motor company, and they had splendid luck on their trip to Birmingham with the six cars as far as Gadsden. After leaving Gadsden, the roads we're found to be exceptionally rough, due to heavy traffic and the re- cent rains, and deep rut or groove was cut in the road where the wheels of the cars ran Four miles out of Ashville, just as Mir Atkins took q steep hill, Lcs:is Arnold, who was following him, lost sight of his car until Arnold came over the crest of the hill. and there he saw his friend in a heap along side his wrecked car. As he approached he saw Mir. Atkins was conscious.
 T let her get out of the groove. and as I tried to turn the wheels back into the groove. she turned over on me, and I was mashed in here-my sfomach-by the steering wheel. I am going to die, and I want you to get my wife. It's all over now" said Stanley Atkins. when asked by Arnold how it happened.
 The windshield of the car was driven into the ground several inches by the impact when the car flopped over and changed ends. It was remarkable that MT Atkins was not killed instantly it was stated by those who saw the wrecked ca, and especially in view of the fact that he was running at a high rate of speed when theaccident happened, not having shut off his power on the down. hill run.
 The funeral arrangements will be an ncunced later by Johns.
