Winston-Salem, June 4—Ellis A. Tesh and Walter L. Tesh, brothers, and Shirley Summers, negro, were instantly killed here Friday afternoon at 5:20 p.m. by an incoming Norfolk and Western passenger train at the Inverness Mills crossing in the northern part of the city.
Tom Tesh, a brother of the two white men, is in a local hospital seriously injured as a result of the accident. The car, which was demolished, was thrown about 30 feet. The occupants were thrown out of the car when it struck the ground, the wounded man having been thrown against a hog pen with such force that a thick board was broken from the contact.
