Returned Soldier In Auto Mix-Up
Delbert Avery, a Charleston service man recently home from two years in Europe, is held in Sikeston city jail on charges of careless and reckless driving while drinking after a crash on Malone avenue last night. His companion Edward Henry Van Pool was treated for a chin cut at Sikeston General Hospital. A third man reportedly fled. Witnesses said Avery’s car ran over a car at Malone and School, then sped swervingly, damaging three parked cars owned by Mrs. J. M. Pitman, Mrs. W. L. Haters, and Mrs. W. O. Carroll. Gasoline tanks and radiators were punctured as fuel spilled, causing a noisy scene at the intersection.
