Asheville, Sept. 4—A vacation party of young men coming to Asheville from Marion to spend Labor Day came to grief early today when the automobile in which they were riding plunged 40 feet over an embankment of Ridgecrest mountain, instantly killing Homer Ray, 26 years old, and injuring Ernest Crawford and Andrew Smith.
