Desperately trying to avoid a collision with the machine in front of him when 
the one he was driving became incontrollable on a steep hill just beyond Towson, 
Md., yesterday morning, John J. O'Keefe of Norfolk ran his auto up a bank, only 
to have it turn over and instantly kill his wife, Mrs. Caroline Louise Keefe, 
who was seated beside him.
Mr. O'Keefe is expected to arrive in Norfolk this morning with the body of his 
wife.
Mr. O'Keefe is a well known sign painter of Norfolk, living at 738 Graydon Park.
