Witnesses Describe Whippet At Excessive Speed At Barbecue Stand
Testimony from Curtis Ganteen B. George Gilbert and F G Bowles describes the Whippet car traveling at high speed past a barbecue stand a quarter mile east. Two witnesses waved warnings. The car swerved into the center and south side, left the road, hit the right horse of Bowles team, spooked the animal and let the team run away. Bowles later controlled the team and returned home. The Whippet then struck Clarence Gilbert on the streetcar track and damaged the Gilbert car. Young Gilbert, son of the deceased, testified similarly. Bowles said his mate sustained injuries and humor arose when Prosecutor Miller asked him to identify a log chain.
