High Point, Jan. 5—Zeb A. Davis, a Winston-Salem insurance man, was arrested by local police last night and released under $1,000 bond for his appearance for trial at Winston-Salem today, charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He is alleged to have been the driver of an automobile which struck and seriously injured Miss Foy Smith, young white woman, late yesterday afternoon in Waughtown.
The driver is alleged to have failed to stop his automobile after it had knocked the woman down. He drove to High Point where he was caught by the police who had been requested to watch for him.
Chief of Police Blackwelder of High Point said that Davis admitted that his car struck the young woman. He said that Davis said he failed to stop his automobile “because I was excited.”
