Local Autoist
Kills Youth
C. LLOYD NISSLY, 36, OF FLORIN,
UNFORTUNATELY RUNS DOWN
THREE PEDESTRIANS ON PIKE
NEAR SILVER SPRINGS
A former Lancaster county youth
was injured fatally and his brother
and a companion were hurt when an
alleged drunken driver ran down the
three while walking along the Marietta
pike, near Silver Spring.
Roy Stauffer, seventeen, of near
Fredericksburg, Lebanon county, died
in St. Joseph's hospital of internal in-
juries and shock.
D. J. F. Trexler, deputy coroner,
performed an autopsy.
Autoist Arrested
C. Lloyd Nissley, thirty-six, Florin,
driver of the automobile, is now being
held on charges of drunken driving
and failing to stop and render assist-
ance brought by Patrolman Groff be-
fore Justice of the Peace Sheller,
Rohrerstown, but it is expected that
additional charges of involuntary man-
slaughter will be lodged following the
coroner’s investigation.
Raymond Stauffer, eighteen, a
brother of the victim, is in the hospital
with a possible fracture of the right
leg and several fractured ribs.
George Wile twenty, Silver Spring,
received brush burns of the face and
hands and was treated at the scene of
the accident.
Patrolman Groff said he learned that
Nissley was driving toward Lancaster
when his car struck the three youths,
‘ho were walking in the same direct-
ion but on the left side of the road.
The headlights of Nissley’s car were
extinguished by the collision and he
proceeded without stopping, according
to the patrolman’s information.
W. G. Swords and H. M. Kauffman,
Silver Spring, who were standing in
front of Mummb’s garage, a short dis-
tance east of the point of the accident,
told Patrolman Groff they heard the
crash and saw Nissley drive past in his
car with the lights extinguished. They
gave chase, they said, and stopped Nis-
sley about three-quarters of a mile
from the scene. They held him until
the arrival of the patrolman, whom
they summoned.
Roy and Raymond Stauffer are for-
mer residents of Silver Spring, having
moved to a farm near Fredericsburg
last June. They had returned to their
former home yesterday in search of
work, according to Wile, at whose
home they were staying.
Wile said they had started out on foot
for the home of Oscar Shenk, near
Oyster Point, and that they were
walking on the edge of the highway,
facing traffic.
Dr. J. F. Trexler, deputy coroner,
announced that he will recommend the
lodging of a charge of involuntary
manslaughter against Nissley.
Dr. Trexler, following an autopsy,
revealed that the victim died of a rup-
tured spleen, a ruptured vein in the
right pleural cavaty and a hemorrhage
of the brain.

Auto. Accident
On Main Street
MRS. EMMA STEPHENS, 60, OF
LANCASTER, BADLY INJURED
WHEN AUTO BANGS INTO A
TRUCK AT LUTHERAN CHURCH
Mrs. Emma Stephens, sixty, of Lan-
caster R. D. 1, was seriously injured
Wednesday evening in a truck-auto-
mobile collision on West Main Street.
She was admitted to St. Joseph's hos-
pital, suffering severe shock, head in-
juries, and deep lacerations of both
legs.
According to Chief of Police Elmer
Zerphy, Mrs, Stephens was riding in a
sedan driven by Harry R. Shindle,
forty-seven, of 642 Columbia avenue,
Lancaster. Shindle’s car, Zerphy said,
figured in a collision with a large trail-
er truck operated by Kenneth Metzel,
thirty, of 467 South Duke street, Lan-
caster.
Shindle was traveling toward Lan-
caster, and Metzel was driving toward
Elizabethtown, enroute to Hershey. The
left front wheel of Shindle’s car struck
the left rear wheel of the cab portion
of Metzel's truck. Shindle’s machine
was badly damaged, but he escaped in-
jury.
Mrs. Stephens, who was rendered
unconscious by her injuries, was given
first aid treatment by Dr. H. C. Ken-
pital in Lancaster.
Chief Zerphy said he would consider
filing
code against Shindle, saying that tire
marks showed that part of Shindle’s
white line which divides Mount Joy’s
