Where can a man move to escape

thought was far removed from traf-
fic dangers. The house is half a
mile from National road. He had
planned to buy the place.
Where viii He Move
But now, as soon as the funeral
is over. he declared he would seek
out q place to move to, where Whiz-
zing motors can not snuff out the
lives of Warren's three small SIS
ters and brother, still at home.

Samuel, 10, not to cross West

until he signaled that the highway

Eaton vas arrested on a. charge
Of involuntary manslaughter. and
was later released on his own rec
ognizance. Witnesses told police
they thought he was not to blame.
Warren was caught on the bump
er and carried twenty feet before
the car stopped. He died within a
few minutes.
Warned to Wait
Warren wanted to see the water
on the other side # the road his
brother said. Il told him to wait
until I came out, but he went over
while I was in the store. I went to
get him, and told him to wait until
I motioned for him to cross. While
I was coming back I heard a slam
and brakes screeching. I looked and
saw Warren lying on the pavement,

hand, but he wouldn't talk"
