Negro Killed In Auto Accident Near Winnfield

Phillip Lewis, colored, of Winnfield, died Wednesday night of a broken neck
sustained in an automobile wreck on the Winnfield-Clarence highway.  The wreck
occurred thirteen miles out of Winnfield at about 8:30 o'clock.

A colored woman who was riding in the car was injured and hospitalized in
Winnfield.  Tom Williams, Lewis' stepfather, was also a passenger in the car,
but was not injured seriously.

Lewis, who was driving the 1941 Chevrolet, lost control of the car, which ran
across a ditch and crashed head-on into a high embankment.
