Wreck Victim Dies, Driver Is Charged With Manslaughter

Bond of A. J. Smelley of Quitman Fixed at $1500

A preliminary charge of manslaughter was filed against A. J. Smelley
Thursday morning by District Attorney Harry Fuller following the
death Monday morning of Mrs. Lizzie Turnley, who was injured Sunday,
May 23, in an automobile collision.  Bond for Smelley was fixed at
$1500 by Judge F. E. Jones Thursday morning.

Mrs. Turnley was riding in a school bus driven by C. L. Ganey on
their way from Shreveport when a car driven by Smelley crashed into
the rear end of the bus about four miles on the other side of the
Gum Springs tower. In the car with Ganey were Mrs. Martha Turnley,
Clayton Turnley, Mrs. Ganey, and Mrs. Lizzie Turnley.  All the
occupants of the bus received injuries, none fatal except to Mrs.
Lizzie Turnley, who was rendered unconscious, in which condition she
remained until her death Monday in the Fittz-Faith Clinic here.

In the car with Smelley was H. T. McConathy, who was slightly
injured by the collision.

Smelley was arrested that same day on a charge of operating an
automobile "while he was in an intoxicated condition" and bond fixed
at $750.00 which he made before returning to his home at Quitman
Monday morning following the accident.  The charge of manslaughter
was filed following the death of Mrs. Turnley.
