Matherly Bostic collision case goes to Raleigh jurors
In Raleigh County Circuit Court the trial of Frances Matherly of Sophia versus James Walter Bostic of Sprague over a May 1 1971 rear end crash on U S 21 near Beckley Child Care Center went to the jury around 10 30 am. Judge Lilly recessed for lunch at 12 00 with no verdict. The plaintiff seeks damages for a broken shoulder arm and leg injuries from a high speed impact claimed at 70 80 mph.
