Clyde Justice, negro, recently indicted on a charge of running down and injuring Mary Lassiter, an aged negro woman at the Pine Street crossing of the Southern and released on a small bond, was rearrested Saturday morning and held under $500 bond, due to the serious condition of the woman his car is alleged to have struck.
The accident occurred on the night of October 6 and justice reported the matter at headquarters. However, a boisterous cursing case that later found its way into court and which is alleged to have been founded on the automobile accident tended to show that Justice’s report of the matter may not have been correct and resulted in the drafting of a warrant against Justice. The Lassiter woman is said to be in a serious condition although she has been removed from the hospital to her home.
