MAN AND WOMAN INJURED FATALLY IN MOTOR CRASH

Victims Suffer Skull Fractures as Car Strikes Truck In Vicinity Of Paoli

FUNERALS TO BE TUESDAY

Positive identification of mangled bodies of a man and a woman, killed instantly at 8:15 o'clock Sunday night when their automobile collided head-on with a truck on a curve four miles west of Paoli on U. S. Highway 150, was reported Monday by Orange County authorities.

The victims were identified definitely as Walter "Skeets" LaDuke, 36, operator of the "Dixie Terrace" night club on U.S. Road 150, a mile west of the city, and Mrs. Edna Mae Cooley, 28, of 1611 King street, an employee at the New Albany plant of the M. Fine and Sons Manufacturing Company.

Bodies of the victims were so badly mangled, authorities first made tentative identification by means of LaDuke's driving license and a receipt found in the purse of Mrs. Cooley.

The east-bound truck carrying a load of wheat was driven by John Bailey, 24, of Kansas, Ill., who escaped injury. He was quoted as saying that LaDuke's car, which was traveling at a high rate of speed, crowded his truck off the road before smashing into it head-on.

State Patrolman William Thompson ........................ a few minutes after the crash, said LaDuke had been driving "awfully fast." Coroner Geo. Dillinger, after making a preliminary investigation reported both victims died of fractured skulls. Their features were mangled beyond recognition, Thompson said.

LaDuke's wife, Mrs. Flora LaDuke, said her husband was
enroute to Owensville. She did not know he was accompanied by anybody, she added.

LaDuke and his wife, who moved here from Elizabeth five years ago, had operated the "Dixie Terrace" for more than a year.
