Goldsboro, Nov. 28—Clifton Gurley, 22-years old, who ran over Mrs. R.L. Hill in an automobile here early Monday night, inflicting injuries which caused her death a few hours later, was given his freedom by Judge Barnhill yesterday.
A large number of spectators testified that it was not the fault of the young man and that the accident was purely unavoidable. Gurley was about to park his car in front of his father’s store when Mrs. Hill walked out from behind another car, parked and with all its curtains up. He could not bring the machine to a halt until it had knocked the woman down and one of its wheels rested on her body.
