PAGE TWO THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7,1969 Jury Hears (Continued from Page 1) connecting Mrs. Flohr's lower left jaw to her skull was completely disabled as a result of the collision and that her mouth had to be wired almost completely closed in order to allow hher broken jawbone to set properly. Mrs. Staley, as well as her husband, testified that the former received a leg injury which took over ten weeks to heal, and that she underwent considerable pain and disability because of the wound. CONCERN FOR CHILD Mrs.

Flohr testified that immediately following the accident, she had been concerned about the fate of her unborn child which was due late in July. She said the baby was finally born August 11, over two weeks late, in a normal birth. She had two other children, aged four and six, at the time of the mishap. Neither Mrs. Flohr nor her mother was able to recall seeing before the accident, which totally destroyed their truck.

Upon questioning by Attorney Raffensperger, Myers testified that he had seen the Hill vehicle going west on Rt. 16 at high speed. Upon his observation that the Hill vehicle was aiming directly toward him, Myers said he pulled out of the township road onto Rt. 16 to "get out of the way." The Myers vehicle was struck in the right rear while in the westbound lane of the mam road, an occurance which the attorneys for Hill are alleging was the cause of the multi- collision. SKID MARKS Earlier, a Pennsylvania state trooper from the local barracks testified that he measured skid, slide and tire marks, presumably from the Hill vehicle, across the grass plot dividing the two forks of Rt.

116; across the west fork; and across the service station parking lot for a distance of 60 ifeet before the 1958 Oldsmobile sedan finally came to rest after knocking out a pillar of the station building. In his testimony, Hill, then stationed with the Army at Ft. Ritchie, said he was traveling "between 55 and 60 miles per hour" on the 55 m.p.h. limit road when he unavoidably collided with the Myers vehicle in his path. Testimony continues this afternoon.

In yesterday's jury list, the name of Robert Storm, McSherrystown, was inadvertently omitted, and the name of Edward H. DeCheubell, McSherrystown, was erroneously included. The latter was one of 16 possible jurors excused from the present trial.

Any Vote Action Up To Candidates Adams County's solicitor has told the county commissioners they have no authority to take any steps on their own concerning a possible new election for school officials in the Upper Adams district. Arendtsville voters were unable to vote for school director and auditor Tuesday because the spaces for such votes were missing from the i ballot. Thus the question was raised concerning possible next steps. Attorney H.

Thomas Pyle, solicitor for the commissioners, after studying the law on the matter told the commissioners any motion concerning a special election must come from the people involved, the voters of the district, or the candidates themselves. Whether any appeal will be made was questionable since the ballots cast indicated that the majority of the Arendtsville residents voted Republican. The three Republican candidates for school director in Upper'Adams won the election, based on the vote in the remainder of the merged school district.
