Teenagers On Trial, Continued from Page One
... the road and come to rest in the ditch at their right facing Coudersport.
They saw the Hyde car being thrown sideways into the center- of the road where it was smacked by the Prince car on the rear left side. Miss Prince testified she had applied her brakes when she sighted the Kenealy car approaching, he said she thought Jerry had time to get back into his own lane in front of her.
Jerry testified he never saw the Kenealy car. He said slush and sand from Marcia's rear tires had splashed onto his windshield, obstructing his forward vision.
He said he realized, looking out the side window and seeing Marcia's car, that they were obstructing traffic. He accelerated his speed, he said, expecting to return to the east-bound lane in front of her when the collision occurred.
Kenneth Dietz, a Shinglehouse meat-cutter who helps his brother-in-law, Virgil Howard, part-time with ambulance calls, testified for the plaintiff. He said he assisted in getting young Hyde into the ambulance on a stretcher and rode with him and Miss Prince, who was in the front seat, to the Olean General Hospital.
He recalled Miss Prince said more than once during the trip it was her fault and she wanted to take the blame. Miss Prince, who took the stand in her own defense yesterday afternoon, said she didn't recall saying that, nor did she remember young Hyde say, "Now I hope you're satisfied."
Jerry denied going ever 60 miles an hour past the Higley house and over 70 miles an hour past the Bixby house. He estimated his I speed at 45 miles an hour, on the stand yesterday afternoon as his own defense witness.
He said he decided to get ahead of Marcia in the long, straight stretch of road so that he could enter the Hyde driveway first. This way he wouldn't have to move his car to let Marcia leave after they had their bottle of pop, he had decided.
Others had testified that the road where the accident occurred is marked with a broken center line, indicating it is a passing zone. A barn on the south side is regarded by some people, Miss Prince said, as a blind spot. It marks the location of a long, gentle curve In the road.
She said most of the two-mile trip she traveled about 50 miles an hour, and about 45 after she slowed upon sighting the bulk tank truck.
Her lawyer, in this morning's summation to the jury, said no matter what speed she was traveling at she shouldn't be Implicated in the accident, since she was at all times on the road.
Harold Fink, who began his summation shortly before noon, told the jury that the two, who have been engaged about two years, were as closely joined in that dark January morning trip as they will be later, should they become married.
It is expected that Judge Wells will review the testimony and charge the jury some time this afternoon.
