Quincy Derrick Dies of Injuries Sustained

Monroe, March 9—Quincy Derrick died in the Ellen Fitzgerald hospital this morning as a result of injuries sustained when his auto left the road and collided with a ‘phone pole on highway number 20, four miles west of Monroe, last Saturday night. Ed Helms, who was with Derrick at the time of the accident, is at large under bond. He contents that both were so drunk that he does know who was driving.
