According to sheriff Robert Shraluka, who began the investigation but was later joined by • Allen county authorities, Roger Throckmorton, 38, was headed north on U. S. highway 27, traveling behind a car driven by Gethard Zwick, 38,* who lives a quarter of a mile west on the county line from highway 27. Zwick made what the Ohio man thought to be a signal for stop or right turn; he then tried to pass Zwick bn the left. Zwick, however, bei gan a left turn keeping Throck- , morton from completing the pass. To keep from hitting ,Zwick, Throckmorton said he went • around with him and found himself and his family upset in an I open ditch on the northwest cor-, . her of the intersection. Since the mishap was over the Allen county line, sheriff Shra- . luka had no jurisdiction although he was called; he contacted Allen , county officials who took over at the scene.

Rex Layne Winner On Disputed Decision OGpEN, Utah, UP — Jack Dempfcey, referee and lone judge today defended his decision that gave Utah’s husky Rex Layne a disputed 10-round decision here Friday night over former Champion Ezzard Charles. The more than 23,000 tans greets ed the decision with mixed feelings as a' flood of rain from sodden skies and tears from Jake Mintz, Charles’ manager,! drenched the Ogden Stadium ring. Promoter Ken Mayne estimated the gate at between $150,000 and $200.000 —the largest in Utah’s sports history. Mayne said, 15,000 fans were turned away because of a lack \pf seats. Dempsey said he gave Layne two rounds, the third and seventh and Charles one round, the ninth, and scored the other seven even. The majority of the press ruled iii favor- of Charles, most giving Charles four, Layne three and three even. Dempsey said that he didn’t taka anything away from Charles because i|f low punching, although he warned the Negro fighter to “keep them up” twice during the fight. Following the decision a surprised hush fell over the crowd momentarily, broken only by the wails of Charles’ manager, Mintz who shouted “this stinks to high heaven—lt’s a case of highway robbery.” As a heavy downpour drenched the shouting throng. Mintz continued to hurl protests, charging Dempsey was “playing politics." Layne, trim at 195 pounds and in better shape than in his previous local fights, had a five-pound advantage over Charles. - Charles took the decision quietly and told reporters, “I’ll fight him agaln( tomorrow if he -wants. I know I beat him—the kid simply can’t hit.” J ! : i ’ ! .j . ■ ■ i CHICAGO MAN (Co»tlawd From Page One) ejection of a presidential nominee’s choice for the charimanship is a formality.
