THREE DIE
AS CAR STRIKES POLE ON
FREDERICA
2 Owensboro Women Killed
In Accident
Three persons were killed and another injured seriously in
a shattering wreck at the intersection of Frederica Street and Tamarack Road at
8:35 p.m. last night.
The car containing two Fort Campbell soldiers and two
Owensboro girls clipped a car turning off Frederica Street and smashed into a
steel light pole; smashing the car and throwing two of the passengers from 300
to 400 feet away from the point of impact.
Coroner James H.
Davis, Jr. identified the victims as:
Mrs. Mary Woolsey Barnes, 16, 1680 E. 11th
Street
Nancy Ballard, 18, of 705 Hall Street
Pfc. Robert Gunn, 21, of Columbus, Ohio who is attached
to the 553rd Engineer Group, FB, at Fort Campbell.
The injured man was Robert A. Panchisin, 20, of Johnstown,
PA., and also of Fort Campbell. He was
taken to Owensboro Daviess County Hospital where his condition last night was
termed as satisfactory.
He was reported to be suffering from a head injury.
City Patrolmen Fred Hall and Charles Porter, who
investigated, said they learned from witnesses that the vehicle carrying the
quartet was going south on Frederica Street at a very high rate of speed when
the accident happened.
The Panchism car apparently clipped the back end of a car
driven by Robert Glasglow, 19, of 2733 Eastern Parkway, who was turning into a
drive-in restaurant just north of the Tamarack Road intersection and caromed
into the light pole on the west side of the street and about 100 feet north of
Tamarack Road.
Glasglow told police that he was preparing to turn into the
drive-in when he felt a thud and turned to see the car as it struck the light
standard.
Coroner Davis said Miss Ballard was thrown 200 to 300 feet
from the car. Gunn was thrown 400 feet.
A witness to the crash, who reported he was heading south
and about a block away when the accident happened, said it appeared, the car
going at a high rate of speed sideswiped another vehicle headed in the same
direction and caromed into the light pole.
The witness said that as the car struck the pole, two
persons, later identified as Mrs. Barnes and Gunn were thrown from the car.
The wires on the shattered light pole appeared to enshroud
the battered car and smoke began rolling from the vehicle.
He said that as he and other persons in the vicinity
started moving toward the car, a man inside the vehicle, apparently Panchisim
started yelling loudly, "Stay back.”
Later, he said, the man who was behind the steering wheel
started screaming to be taken out of the car.
The woman in the front seat later identified as Mrs. Barnes was lying
across the man. When the woman had been
moved, Panchisim started crying, “I want my daddy,” the witness said.
The car was demolished.
The right side of the car was wrapped around the light pole.
According to the witness, the impact threw the back seat
into the intersection. Two jack handle
bars in the car were thrown across Frederica and Tamarack and into the front
yard of Shuck and Noble real estate office, about 50 feet east of
Frederica. Other parts of the jack or
jacks were found in the middle of the intersection.
No charges will be filed by the police until after they
have a chance to interrogate Panchisim.
An inquest will be held Coroner Davis said.
Deputy Coroner Fred Wahl listed cause of death on the Gunn
boy as internal injuries and a fractured skull. Both girls died from internal injuries according to Wahl.
Miss Ballard is survived by her mother, Mrs. Clara Cox
Alexander of Owensboro; her father, Donald Ballard of Anaheim, Calif.; two
brothers,* John Alexander and Gary Alexander, both of Owensboro; and
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Cox of Owensboro.
She was a member of Breckenridge Street Methodist Church.
Mrs. Barnes is survived by her husband, who is stationed at
Fort Bragg, N.C.; one daughter, Donna Mae Barnes; mother, Mrs. Henry Leach of
Owensboro; one brother, James Thomas Woolsey of Owensboro; two half-brothers,
Gregory Scott Leach and Jeffery Ross Leach, both of Owensboro; grandmother,
Mrs. Floy Beck of Route 1, Cromwell; and step-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James
Leach of Owensboro.
She was a member of the Third
Baptist Church.
Mrs.
Barnes body is at the Owensboro Funeral Home.
The others are at the James H. Davis Funeral Home.

Submitter's Notes:
*Although various articles on this accident appeared in the newspapers,
their accounts differed. The Owensboro paper said two occupants of the car were
thrown out while the driver and one of the girls were still in the car. The
Evansville paper said all four were thrown from the car. In the above
article one paragraph says Miss Ballard
was thrown from car and in another paragraph states Mrs. Barnes was
thrown.
**John
and Gary Alexander were her half brothers.

Fatal Accident
Witnessed By Victim's
Father
David Lewis Morris, six-year-old son of Atty. and Mrs. Roy
L. Morris, 736 Clark St., was dead on arrival at Guernsey Memorial Hospital
after being struck by a car on Oakland Blvd., Thursday evening.
The boy's father, a Cambridge city councilman, witnessed
the fatal accident.
Cambridge police said the youth apparently died from head
injuries after being struck by a car driven by Golby T. Fisher, 38, of 1610
Stewart Ave. Fisher was not held.
The scene of this accident, the first pedestrian death here
since May 2, 1961, when a young boy was struck and killed on N. Ninth St., was
in front of the Oscar Share home at 1003 Oakland Blvd.
Authorities gave this account.
Fisher was traveling south on Oakland Blvd. when
approximately 37 feet north of Oakland and Brenton Ave., in front of the Share
home, the Morris youngster darted in front of a parked car and into the path of
Fisher's auto.
Fisher later told police
he didn't see the youngster until he was in front of the car. Police said the impact knocked the boy
approximately 78-feet.
Police said the boy had apparently been over to the Share
home handing out campaign literature for his father, a candidate in Tuesday's
primary. Atty. Morris was standing
across the street from the Share home when his son left the Share's front yard
and started across the street when he was struck.
Gordon Share,
13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Share, was standing in his front yard and
also witnessed the accident, police said.
A motorist, Donald A. Kranz, of Cambridge, R. D. 4, was
following Fisher's auto at the time of the mishap, but did not see the boy
struck, police said. He told police he
was in the process of turning onto Brenton Rd. and didn't see young Morris
until he was lying in the street.
The youngster, a first grade student at Oakland School, was
only three blocks away from his home when struck by the car. He and his younger brother, Tim, were
accompanying their father and assisted in giving out campaign material.
Police said the accident occurred at 6:57 p.m. They continued their investigation Friday.
The
tragedy occurred one block from where another first grader at Oakland school,
Ricky Marquis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leste Marquis, 821 N. 18th St. was struck by
a car about two months ago. Ricky
received a broken leg and other injuries and for several weeks was a patient at
Guernsey Memorial Hospital.
Young Morris' death brings to eight the number of persons
killed on city and county roads this year.
It was the first pedestrian fatality this year.
The youngster was born
in Cambridge Aug. 14, 1956 to Roy L. and Beverly June Nugen Morris. He attended the First Methodist Church and
was a member of the Sioux tribe of the "Y" Indian Guides.
Surviving in addition to his parents, two brothers, Tim
Scott Morris, 4, and Barry J. Morris, 1; the maternal grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. George Nugen of 1028 Taylor Ave.; and the paternal grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. Rodney Morris of 448 N. Eighth St.
