James Richardson, white, an employee of the Durham Hosiery Mills, was yesterday recovering from the effects of painful bruises received Friday afternoon near the company’s plant, when he collided with an automobile driven by Mr. Harvey King, No. 313 W. Center street.
According to the version of the affair given by Mr. King, he was driving up Center street near the hosiery mill shortly after that plant had ended operations for the day. Mr. Richardson, he said, walked out from the sidewalk, in an apparent effort to cross the street, and ran into the machine, being struck by the rear fender and knocked down.
Aside from being badly bruised, Mr. Richardson is said to have suffered no serious injury.
