ROCHE TO BE (Continued from Page One) know if she went out of town for The State’s manslaughter charge is based on evidence sworn by its witnesses that Roche’s negligent and drunken driving killed the colored man. The car which alleg- edly caused Brown's death, a new Chrysler convertible, is being held as evidence of the blood stains and dents on it left by Brown's body. Mrs. Brown and her husband were trying to push their stalled northbound ¢ar off the highway, when Roche's car “‘whizzed by” northbound she said, taking her husband with if. All the widow could find was a hat and a shoe. She ran up the road screaming and came to Roche who urged her to get in his car. Though “frightened of him because of his peculiar ways” she got in his car to go back to the scene of the accident, she said. He stop- ped his car three times on the way back to get out and look at the front of it. Finally she got out for ggod and got a ride with @ truck to the Naval Hospital where she told the guard she had lost her husband. It was he who called the Sheriff's depart- ment, Yesterday the widow was a great deal more upset than she first testified at the inquest. She said she had been in nervous shock all last week. Her mother, Mrs, Ella Hill of Belle Glade was with her. The two women looked at the pic- | tures of the mangled Brown, taken when his body was brought to Key West. Both legs were nearly severed. His entire body and head were mutilated by the fatal acci- | dent.

In the third of the series of stories, Naet- er dug up a pictute of King taken in January 2 when King was chief engineer out in Naeter’s neck of the woods, The mustache, as he points out, fs not much the worse for wear after 30 years. Naeter walked into the city hall, not knowing that Dave King was his old acquaintance. He was just curious about garbage collections. King looked up and recognized Naeter, although not by name, as er he knew years before. Notes on life in Key West made by Naeter include the observation that “no one raises chickéns.ex- cepting possibly some fighting breeds.” He also noted that there were only a few horses here and Ro cows. He collected statistics and ac- the water situation, taxation, the shrimp industry and shops. “‘Ima- gine,” he wrote after seeing that Kress was the only five and dime retail store, “a city claiming 35 |or 40 thousand population without a Woolworth store!” The list of other peculiarities of | Key West included the fact that | over 50 percent of the regular pop- j ulation.
