APPLETON Sterling C. Kincaid, 62, Hazelhurst, was absolved of any criminal negligence by a coroner's jury' which held an inquest here Thursday afternoon into the deaths of three people killed in a head-on collision last May 17. Killed in the crash on Highway 47, about seven miles north' of Black Creek in Outagamie County, were Kincaid's wife; Fred Heling, Rte. 2, Shawano, and his son, Lyle. Kincaid and his wife were on their way from Chicago to Hazelhurst.

The coroner's jury found Kincaid negligent in overloading his car, working too long the day before the accident and because his car was not under control because of interference by his wife. The jury also held that Fred Heling, driver of the other car, was negligent for failure to apply his brakes and for not reducing his speed. Wife 'Cracking When questioned the day after the accident, Kincaid had maintained he did not know what caused the accident. Thursday he testified that his wife was "cracking up" mentally and that his car went out of control while he was trying to calm her. Kincaid readily admitted that he had tried to- cover up the facts immediately after the accident because "I didn't want to tell it.

I didn't want it to become known. I didn't want to blame the Mrs. for anything." Kincaid said his wife was kicking him, and, as he tried to calm the car 'went onto the. left side of the road, where it collided with the Heling machine. Heling's widow, recently released from the hospital, testified that she had seen the Kincaid car coming toward their auto on the left side of the road for several hundred leet.

There was no evidence or testimony to show that Heling made any attempt to step his cnr. Mrs. Esther Peterson, who said she was a friend of Kincaid family and has a cottage next to. his Hazelhurst, testified that she, too, felt Mrs. Kincaid was mentally unstable.

Kincaid denied ever having seen or used fa soft drink bottle which was found under the left front seat of his auto the day after the accident. The bottle, partially filled and containing a whiskey bottle cork, a mixture 84 per cent alcohol, according to an analysis made at the" state crime laboratory, a county policeman testified. Kincaid maintained the only drinking he had done on the day of the accident cpnsisted of two glasses of beer while he was eating lunch in Fond du Lac, LADIES' SKIRTS SLACKS HAND TAILORED Guaranteed Fit 18,50 Up SERAFIM TAILOR SHOP Fine Custom Tailoring 38A S.
