One Killed, One Injured in Street Car Collision. . . Accident Occurs at Salisbury When Automobile and Trolley Meet Head-On

Salisbury, Feb. 22—Robert A. Green is dead and Charlie Jones is in a Salisbury hospital minus a leg as a result of a collision between a small car and a street car last midnight on South Main street. The two men, with a third one, Bennett Bowers, were going north when their car, which was being driven by Jones, met a southbound street car head-on. One side of Green’s face was smashed off and he died soon after being rushed to the hospital. Jones was badly injured, and it was found necessary to amputate a leg. Bowers escaped by jumping.

Green was 32 years old and is survived by a widow. He had been connected with laundries here for a number of years. The funeral takes place Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock from the home of his mother on East Bank street.
