DEATH BOMB AT SEPJNE FIND NO LIABILITY From Monday's Dally Saturday afternoon the coroners inquest held at Greenwood over the death at that place of Erban Rouse, who was fatally injured on last Wed nesday afternoon and who died on Friday, returned a verdict clearing A. If. Dixon, driver of the car that struck Mr. Rouse, of any liability in the matter. The day of the accident was one of the stormiest that this section of the. state has experienced in many years and an intense wind was blow ing with driving snow that made op erating a car or getting along the highway very difficult and the storm that raged blinded both the driver of. the car and Mr. Rouse. . With the weather conditions pre-1 vailing it was impossible to see any distance and prevented either the ' driver of the car or Mr. Rouse from ! seeing the danger that was upon i mem.
