FIVE ANNISTON PEOPLE HURT IN CAR WRECKS

Mr. and Mrs. T.C. Poole in Serious Condition in Birmingham Hospital
After Accident That Took Lives of Two Gate City Young Men

Five Anniston People were injured in automobile accidents during the week end, 
two of them, Mrs. and Mrs. T. C. Poole, being seriously hurt and still in a 
Birmingham hospital, as a result of the wreck that was fatal to two young men.

The Pooles were injured in a head-on collision late Saturday night on the 
Birmingham-Leeds Highway.  Mrs. D. D. Weaver and Miss Belle Pearson received 
minor bruises when their automobile was side-swiped by another on the Gadsden 
Highway Sunday afternoon and J. A. Stanwick, a Fort McClellan soldier, 
received minor injuries in another accident on the Gadsden Highway.

Mr. and Mrs. Poole planned to spend the week-end with relatives in Leeds.  
They were returning from Birmingham to Leeds when their car was struck by 
another machine, two of whose occupants were killed.  Those who met death are 
Carl Jones of near Gate City and Howard Sellers of Gate City.

Mr. Poole received fractures in his left arm and right leg and cuts and 
bruises over his body.  His condition was termed serious.  The condition of 
Mrs. Poole was said to be worse.  She received a fractured arm and a severe 
cut on her leg and suffered from the loss of much blood. Poole's brother, 
Robert Poole of Leeds, received cuts about the head and was struck in the 
mouth, losing several teeth.

Jason Ginn of Alexandria was held by Sheriff A. H. Borders today for 
investigation in connection with he accident involving the Weaver car on the 
Gadsden Highway.  Ginn allegedly was in the machine which was said to have 
been driven by John Rusk, whom officers sought today.  The car struck another 
automobile belong to a Mrs Singleton of Atlanta, Ga., a short time before the 
Weaver car was struck.  Mrs. Weaver and Miss Pearson were treated at Garner 
Hospital for minor bruises and were dismissed.
