Marshall, Aug. 21—Fred Moore of Canton was killed and W. O. Murr and Newman James of the same place were injured early this morning when the automobile they occupied left the highway at Walnut Gass and plunged 100 feet to the bottom of the cliff, about 10 miles from here.
Murr was seriously but not dangerously hurt, while James was only slightly injured. The latter walked 10 miles to Marshall to summon aid as no cars were passing due to the early hour of the day.
The party was en route to Tennessee for a weekend trip and had left Canton about 4 o’clock in the morning. Moore was 25 years old and leaves a wife, two children, his father, Homer Moore, and other relatives.
