Wife and Daughters Injured f Chargee of manslaughter were filed against Victor MdCaJlister, of this city, by District Attorney Flaxel last Monday after he had investigated th« Saturday night tragedy in which Lewis Coombs, of Delmar, was killed and hie entire family was struck by an automobile driven by McCallister. Mr. Coombs, his wife and four daughters and Albert A. Lee were walking home from Millington where they had attended a dance and on the straight away, about half a mile north of the Delmar school met the McCal lister car. They were walking off the edge of the pavement but when they saw the approaching car with two of its wheels off the pavement on their side they attempted to jump to safety. The ear was not travelling at an excessive rate of speed, probably not more than 25 or 30 miles an hour, but after run ping for 50 feet with two wheels on the pavement, the trades show that when it struck its victims all four wheels were off the concrete, Coomba, who wds the last one struck, suffered a broken neck and died soon after being picked up by a passing autoiet. Albert Alden Lee, 19, and Jewel Coombs, 17, were in the lead, arm and arm, and he jumped and pulled her from the auto’s path so that the fender just brushed her leg. Next came Mrs. Coombs and Lucy, aged 5. The little girl received a broken arm, broken collar bone, frac tured knee cap and broken leg, but she is improving at the hospital and will probably recover. Mrs. Ooombe was only slightly hurt. Just ahead of Mr. Coombs were Dorothy, 15, and Irma, 13. They were bruised and scratched but not seriously hurt. MflCallister was accompanied on his trip to Mambfleld by hie aunt, Mrs. Gladys Graham, of Ashland, who had come in the day before for a visit here. Officer English, at Marshfield, no ticed McCallister’* car when he en tered the city, that one light was out and the other had been bent so that it was throwing it* light at an up ward angle. He followed the car and took McCallister in charge before phoning to learn whether there had been an accident. Funeral service* were held for the unfortunate victim in North Bend Tuesday afternoon.
