Two Women Killed in
Auto Accident
Greensboro, Aug. 25—Mrs. Mamie C. Loyal, aged 44, and Mrs.
Dave Shelley, Aged 70, are dead. Shube Anthony, an elderly farmer, is a
prisoner in the county jail, charged with murder and with driving an automobile
while intoxicated, while Mrs. Loyal’s husband, Jesse A. Loyal, and Anthony’s
13-year-old son are painfully injured as a result of an automobile accident
which occurred on the Greensboro High Point Boulevard yesterday afternoon t
4:15.
The Ford car which Shube Anthony was driving turned over,
spilling all of the occupants and causing the instant death of Mrs. Loyal, who together
with the other members of the party except her husband, and together with the
other member, young Anthony, pinned underneath the machine. The accident
occurred at a point five miles from Greensboro and about 50 yards from the home
of W.L. Golden. All of the occupants of the ill-fated auto were residents of Sumner
township.
A few minutes before the fatal accident Constable Sam
Patterson noted the number of the Anthony car, intending to prefer charges
against Shube Anthony for speeding. Proceeding in the direction of High Point,
Anthony attempted to pass another automobile, which was traveling in the same direction.
He lost control of the machine, which catapulted with great force, according to
available information, hurling the occupants unceremoniously to the ground.
Persons living in the vicinity heard the screams of members
of the automobile party and hastened to their assistance. The car was quickly
lifted and the former occupants extricated. Mrs. Loyal had been killed instantly,
it was discovered, her face being terribly disfigured, while she was found
lying in a pool of blood. One of her shoulders was broken and her head was
badly lacerated.
