"PECULIAR ACCIDENT TAKES LIFE OF SAM ADAMS
Sam Adams, 81, died Saturday afternoon, April 9, about 24 hours after he had been crushed between his own car and a wall. Mr. Adams was cranking his car as it stood in front of his son's garage when the engine started with the car in gear and Mr. Adams was carried across the street and through the doors of the Force garage which were closed, through that garage, and suffered severe injuries when the car was stopped by the rear wall of the building. His head was caught between the car radiator and large a electric motor fastened to the wall. His lower jaw was crushed, his nose broken and his cheek bones fractured. He was rushed to the hospital and given every help but his age was against him, and he could not withstand the severe shock to his system.
