Assistant State’s Attorney Thomas Hoopes, after questioning 17-year- old Charles Keeney, new Berlin, driver of the car, ordered him held under $1500 bond on a manslaughter charge. Mrs. Vestal, a former typist for the Illinois Bell Telephone Co., was walking southward across the intersection, State Officer William. Williams said, while the car was traveling westward. Officers Charles Klaphake and Ernest Preval said that Mrs. Vestal apparently was standing on the white marker in the center of the street, waiting for eastbound traffic to clear, when she was struck. Her body hurtled over the hood of the car, her head striking the windshield. The officers said that Mrs. Vestal was carried 72 feet by the car, which traveled more than 100 feet farther after she had slipped from the machine onto the pavement. She was taken to St. John’s hospital where she was pronounced dead. Coroner W. L. Dragoo said death was due to a skull fracture. Klaphake filed the manslaughter charge before Police Magistrate Conway. Relatives of the victim said she had just left home to walk to a mail box at Fifteenth and Cook streets to mail the letter. They said she had returned to the city only last Friday from Tullahoma, Tenn., where she visited her husband, who then was sent on maneuvers. Williams quoted Keeney as saying he was traveling 30 miles an hour and did not see the young woman until the car struck her. Mrs. Vestal’s purse was found a foot from the sidewalk margin line. Mrs. Vestal and Pvt. Edward Vestal were married July 21 at Sacred Heart church. The husband is the son of Mr. And Mrs. Charles Vestal of Smithshire, Ill.
