Victim Found Seriously Hurt at Herr and Monroe Streets Dies

Victim of a hit-and-run motorist, Charles E. Clay, 34, 1268 Miller street (sic), died early today at the Harrisburg Hospital.

Clay, an employe (sic) of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Company, was found early Saturday morning at Herr and Monroe streets, by City Patrolman Harry Millar after a man who refused to disclose his identity called police headquarters and told police "a man was lying out there."

Auto grease found on Clay's clothing led police to believe he was the victim of an auto accident.

Clay suffered fractures of the back and other injuries.

With Clay's death, city police and Dr. Howard E. Millken, county coroner, today renewed their search for the motorist who struck the man and left him in the street, seriously injured.

In addition to his widow, Mrs. Marie Clay, he is survived by three children, Rosa, Edward and Robert William Clay; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Clay; three brothers, William, Albert and George Clay; four sisters, Catherine, Nora, Sarah and Thelma.
