Several attempts to get in touch Hith the original \vLLnesses have proved futile. The man, truck driver, has not telephon e listed, and I received no response to l etters sent to ~irn. He may be a~ itinerant and not traceable. His passen~er, Mrs. Shirley Winn, also wa s not traceable. No phone listed ar1d Jetter to address listed was returned.
