DALTON, Ga. - (UPI) - Three persons burned to death Friday in the flaming wreckage of their automobile here, police reported.
The victims were all Negroes of Chattanooga, Tenn. A fourth person was seriously injured when a car occupied by the Negroes plunged off U. S. 41 and burst into flames.
Flames destroyed all evidence of identity except the Tennessee license plates of the car, police said. The dead, all burned beyond recognition, and the injured man who was too badly hurt to talk were identified by members of their families.
Investigators said the car, apparently traveling north, ran off the highway inside the Dalton city limits at a curve.
The dead were John H. Williams, Charlie Benham and Louise Vine. The injured man was listed as James C. Clay, 38.
