pound of coffee and a loaf Of bread
and also was going to get gasoline
for his car.
Last Friday morning about 1880
O'Clock three men who had deliv-
cred feed to the Baker farm were
driving down the road when they
saw the bottom and four wheels
of the overturned car in the wa
ter-lined ditch. They drove to the
home of Russell Evans, son-in-law
of Baker. and informed him of the
accident.
Evans then returned to the Bak-
er farm and informed his father
in-law about the car. Inasmuch
as Lathbury had failed to report
for work and search of the chic
ken farm failed to disclose his
whereabouts wreeking car was
summoned to pullN the overturned
vehicle from the canal on the
possibility that the missing man
might be in the vehicle.
When the car was pulled to the
roadbed the cramped body of Lath-
bury was found, face downward,
on the front seat of the vehicle.
vhe windshield had been smash
e0 apparently by the trapped man
as be tried to escape from the
suDhSrged car.
A back of one of the seats was
founs.Sl lying across his face. It al
so sppeared that the poultryman
had tried TO rip up floor boards
in tne car and had failed.
Police added that Lathbury was
only about half mile from his
home when the car left the road,
crossed over on the opposite side
and toppled down into the ditch
Subject to @BIackOuts0
The victim had been in an au-
tomobile accident several years ago
and wore two silver plates in his
head as a result of injuries he re-
ceived. They said he was also
subject to ''blackout" spells. A
blood test will be made to deter
mine whether the victim had been
drinking.
Although Lathbury owned the
car, troopers said as far as they
could determine he had no oper-
ator's license.
Mr.. Lathbury is survived by
his mother, Mrs. Florence Lath-
bury; his wife, the former Miss
Laura Figgs; two children, James
e. and Janet, ali of Selbyville; two
sisters, Mrs. Mildred Baker, Of
Ocean lew. Mrs. Ethel Donaway

Berlin, Md.
Three men were injured in a
two-car collision on Route "a,
seven-tenths miles east of Mills
boro, with all being admitted To
the Beebe Hospital in Lewes.
Troopers said the drivers of the
cars were Earl Lingo, p, of near
Millsboro, and Ronald G. Lynch,
90, Selbyville, both of whom were
injured. Melvin Wharton, 35, of
Selbyville, a passenger in Lynch's
car, also was injured.
Lynch, travelling west on the
highway, failed to negotiate a
curve and lost control of his car
which crossed to the opposite side
of the road and crashed headon in
to the car driven by Lingo.
Lynch suffered a brain cOncus-
sion and lacerated knee and Lin
go, decorations of the nose and
