Rocky Mount, March 15—E.W. Rigsbee, an employe of the Atlantic Coast Line, was instantly killed this afternoon at the South Rocky Mount yards when he stepped in the path of a northbound Coast Line passenger train No. 80. His body was badly mangled. The dead man, who was in his early 30s and a native of Plymouth, is survived by his widow and one child, as well as by his parents who reside in Portsmouth.
Mrs. Rigsbee was out of the city on a visit when the accident occurred and funeral arrangements are being held in abeyance until she and other relatives arrived tonight.
