Greely Thomas     

Greely Thomas of Pike County died instantly about 10
o'clock Saturday night, Aug. 20, of a fractured skull and
other injuries received  when a Chevrolet Coupe driven by
Kyle Williams of this city crashed into the rear-end of a
one-horse wagon driven by Mr. Thomas on Highway no. 3 -
two miles north of Thomaston and opposite the residence
of Tom Britt. Riding on the rear end of the wagon were
12-year-old son, Douglas,  it was stated that Mr. Goins
took his son in his arms and jumped when it seemed that
the car was going to strike the wagon, and escaped
injuries himself, but his son suffered a broke leg.

Neither Mr. William nor the young lady and the two men
riding with him were injured. It is understood that the
wagon did not carry a tail-light, and Mr. Williams states
that he did not see the wagon. The grand jury brought an
indictment of murder against Mr. Williams, which the
State later changed to a charge of involuntary
manslaughter, and trial of this case was being tried
Thursday. Col. John H. McGehee, Jr. are lawyers for the
defendant.
