clouds dispersed and the sunshine
of peace broke through on a weary

ever, both had grown older in the

Stanford went on trial Tuesday
morning and the case took up the
entire day. The accident which
caused the death of the two boys
and put another 12-year-old boy
in a hospital happened on Route

and Lincoln. Stanford attempted
to pass another car driven by
Frank Weston Marshall, when the
road was enveloped in a heavy
cloud of dust, which it was claim
ed completely obscured his vision,
preventing him from seeing the
three children. Stanford claimed
he stopped Immediately when he
felt bump" Only when the dust
cleared away, he claimed, did he
know he had hit the children.
