While on His Way to Dover But
Occupants Escape Serious Injury
On the way to Dover to take part
IN the exercises incident to the pres
entatlon of tablet to the State bv
Colonel Haslet Chapter, Daughters of
the American Revolution. Yesterday.
Governor and Mrs. Robert P. Robin
son and party of friends had a mar
now escape from death when the
Governors sedan overturned on the
road at Odessa. The Governor had a
hnger cut, Mrs. Robinson was bruised
and Mrs. Edgar Hare, who accompan-
led the Governor and his wife. was
also severely bruised. State TitGng
Officer Stanley D. Prouse who was
driving the car, was severely shaken
up but escaped injury. The car was
badly damaged and was taken back
to the shops of the Packard Motor
Company of Wilmington for repairs
That the entire party was not killed
IS almost a miracle. The car had
passed through Odessa and was de-
scending the hill beyond that town to-
ward the bridge over the Appoquin-
mink Creek. Going down the hill a
car was met coming in the opposite
direction and Mr.. Prouse pulled to-
ward the side of the road to allow it
to pass. The left front whee, slid off
the concrete road on the shoulder
which Is deep with mud after a storm.
In attempting to turn the car back
on the road it skidded badly and over
turned.
