C. L. Royal, 19, Fatally Injured In Car Wreck

Body Found Several Hours After By Taxi Driver

C. L. Royal, age 19, was found dead Sunday morning at 5:00 o'clock on the
Alexandria highway by Shorty Frazier, taxi driver of Winnfield.  It was
believed that he died instantly from a broken neck after the car that he was
driving ran off the highway into a tree six miles out of Winnfield.  Royal's
jaw was also crushed and there were cuts and bruises on his neck and face.

Late Sunday night Royal rented a car from Shorty Frazier to carry a friend
home.  The wreck happened on the way back to town at about 2:00 a.m.  No
reason for the wreck was given except that Royal might have gone to sleep at
the wheel.

Royal was a drill operator for the Solvay Process Company.  His body was taken
to his home in Sycamore, Ga., by his brother, J. A. Royal, and a sister in
law, Mrs. Royal, and a sister, Mrs. Mary Royal, who was visiting Mr. and Mrs.
Royal in Winnfield at the time of the accident.  Other surviving relatives are
a brother, B. T. Royal, Kelso, Washington; and two sisters, Mrs. H. F. Lutin,
Jacksonville, Fla., and Mrs. C. J. Searcy of Sycamore, Ga.
