was riding went out of control and left the road on Secondary

J.R. Rogers, Spartanburg County Rural Policeman who aided in
the investigation, said the car carrying Plumbley and Everett

road as it entered a rather sharp curve, traveled about 300 feet,
clipped down an eight inch cedar tree and then smashed into the
front of a frame house.
Officer Rogers said it has not been determined whether Plumbley
or Pierce was driving the car at the time of the accident.

officer reported. He said that Plumbley was still breathing when
