New warning Is Issued
To Auto drivers

George Z. Wise, commonwealth S
attorney, Of Richmond, Friday issued
a warning to motorists that the new
code of Virginia makes Involuntary
manslaughter a felony punishable by
Denitentiary sentence His warning,
he stated. was given because Ut the
number of very serious and fatal ac-
cidents which have happened within
the past few months, and not because
of any special case He said that
careIessness largely is res possible for
the numerous accidents which have
occurred. many of which he thinks
could be avoided.
"By the new code, involuntary
manslaughter is made felony pun
ishable, in the discretion of the Jury,
anywhere from a fine to five wears in
the penitenti airy The revsers of the
code were, Is they say, prompted in
changing the law by the prevalence
of the careless driving of automobiles
and other vehicles, - he said
"Involuptary manslaughter is the
killing of buma being, without ma
lice, but in the commission of an un-
lawful act In an unlawful manner.
Therefore, under the law. as it
now stands, person may, through
csrelessness alone. commit a felony.
My experience and observation ia that
nearly all the serious automobile ae-
cidents are caused by the carelessness
of drivers at street corners. failure OF
one Or both drivers, at intersections
of streets, to take proper observations
and precautions, which as above
stated, may amount to felony" Mr..
Wise stated.
~ make the above statement as be-
ing, l believe, information, in part at
least, not fully known or appreciated
by automobile drivers, and in the
hope that 1t may be helpful, and In
making the statement, make it of
course, In a general way not intend
ing 1t as a criticism Of any past or
pending case"
